- Perform testing and troubleshooting of TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT.
- Validate routing and switching technologies, including BGP and OSPF.
- Perform SD-WAN validation, connectivity testing, and troubleshooting.
- Conduct network performance testing, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet-loss validation.
- Use network performance and traffic-generation tools such as iPerf, Spirent, IxNetwork/Ixia, or similar tools.
- Perform RFC 2544 testing and network performance benchmarking.
- Test SIP/VoIP and Unified Communications connectivity where required.
- Support Data Centre, Cloud, and network infrastructure testing.
- Manage the full defect lifecycle, including defect logging, root cause analysis, retesting, and closure.
