Hi Gerrit Renker:

The DCCP Conformance Test Suite is available now with little test cases. Can you have a look at it and tell me what functions of DCCP need to be add test cases? I'll continue to add test cases for DCCP. Thanks.

I have do test under IPv4, and there are still some BUGs(?) of DCCP which need to do patch.

If you or someone have something needed to be tested, you can tell me, I can wrote test case for it if it is possible.

Nice job, Wei! I have being at OLS and one person from IBM talked about LTP, are you using this project?

Regards,
Leandro.

Not LTP, I used the TAHI's v6eval, which is used for IPv6 DCCP Conformance Test Suite.

This is a great piece of work and thank you for making it publicly available. Such a tool has long been missing and I hope that the word will soon spread and that there will be ongoing test effort.

Your work has been valuable help in isolating several hard-to-find bugs and I very much hope that you will continue to contribute.

Regarding future tests, several things come to mind, where fixing existing bugs takes precedence.

Here are a few suggestions. I am not sure whether they fit the frame of the TAHI suite. The underlying idea is to use a traffic monitor and controlled packet drop to check the behaviour of the stack under loss.

The first use is to test stability of protocol signalling. Maybe you remember the feature-negotiation bug which only appeared when the Ack completing the setup handshake was dropped. Leandro observed this bug when packets were (presumably) dropped due to forking many DCCP connections in parallel. To trigger this bug between two machines required a modification of the kernel sources - which was work-intensive.

The second application is to validate the behaviour of Ack Vectors. This is however a bit complicated to do: the traffic monitor needs to keep track of which packets were lost, and check if these sequence numbers show up in the run-length encoded Ack Vector going back in the reverse direction. If it would be possible to automate such tests, that would be awesome, since manually verifying Ack Vectors is a very tedious task to do. The Ack Vector code needs more work anyway, since on 802.11g I found that they grow up to half a kilobyte in length, which is too much.

Last, there is ongoing work to add ECN support. For ECN it would be helpful to look at the behaviour, since ECN router support seems quite young.

Used TAHI's test frame, we can send any packet we want. Say simplely, the endpoint under test is an DCCP application wich used the kernel's implementation, but the endpoint used for test does not uesd any DCCP implementation, it do all of the work by send packet I defined in the test case. So this kind test case is easy to do.

Maybe TAHI is available, I'll have a try.

Do you mean send packet with ECN in the ip header? I'll have a look to the ECN RFC, and check if it can.

Thanks.

ECN is work in progress and will take some time since it requires changes to CCID-3 and other parts.

For the moment it is probably best to work on the bugs in the existing code (apparently there are still 22 "fail" cases).
