IP Routers
(NCCS Accredited Security Testing & Certification as per ITSAR Standards)
Overview
IP Routers form the backbone of telecom and ISP networks, enabling secure packet forwarding, routing, and connectivity across core, edge, and aggregation layers.
Under the Indian Telecom Security Assurance Requirements (ITSAR), all IP Routers must undergo mandatory cybersecurity testing and certification before they can be deployed in Indian telecom operator networks.
Deltaphi Labs, an NCCS-accredited laboratory, provides fast, reliable, and comprehensive ITSAR-compliant testing to help OEMs, vendors, and service providers achieve certification quickly and confidently.

FAQs – ITSAR IP Router Certifications
Q1. Which routers require ITSAR testing?
All IP Routers — hardware, SDN-enabled, virtual, and NFV-based — intended for Indian telecom networks.
Q2. Is fuzzing mandatory?
Yes. ITSAR requires robust fuzzing tests to validate resilience against malformed inputs and protocol deviations.
Q3. Which protocols are validated?
IPv4, IPv6, OSPFv2/v3, BGP-4, IS-IS, MPLS, PPPoE, RADIUS, TCP/UDP, Netconf/YANG.
Q4. Do you simulate real-world attacks?
Yes. We test against Injection attacks,brute-force, replay attacks, fuzzing, and NAT bypass attempts.
Q5. How long does certification take?
Typically 8–12 weeks, but with Deltaphi Labs’ fast-track options, timelines can be shortened significantly.
