Hello All,
The following are the results of the UNH testing at Connectathon 2000 and the IPv6 Forum meeting in Telluride.
Connectathon 2000: 1. 15 IPv6 implementations were present (5 times as many as last year) 2. We tested Mobile IPv6, RIPng and BGP4+ interoperability (as well as some conformance testing)
IPv6 Forum, Telluride: 1. 7 IPv6 implementations were present 2 We tested RIPng, BGP4+, and tunneling interoperability (some conformance testing here also)
--------------------------------------------------------------- Mobility testing at Connectathon: --------------------------------------------------------------- Participants: ENST Bretagne, Ericsson, Ericsson-Telebit, Microsoft Research, NEC, Nokia
Implementations present: 5 home agents, 3 mobile nodes, 4 correspondent nodes
Testing Highlights: Approximately 20 interoperability tests were run over the course of the 3 days of testing. We had a moderate level of interoperability even though the implementations were in various stages of development (version 8, 9, and 10 of the spec were present). The participants spent much of the time debugging and modifying their code.
Testing Topology: 4 networks connected via a single mobile unaware v6 router.
Testing Scenarios: (A) 1. A home agent, mobile node pair begin on the home network with a correspondent node residing on a foreign network. 2. The mobile node moves from the home network to a foreign network while pinging the correspondent node. 3. The mobile node then moves from a foreign network to another foreign network continuing to ping the correspondent node. 4. The mobile node then moves to the foreign network where the correspondent node resides (still pinging) 5. The mobile node returns home.
(B) The same as above except with a telnet session open between the mobile node and the correspondent node.
We were able to achieve success in both of the above scenarios.
Issues/Questions: 1. Versions 8, 9, and 10 of the spec were present. 2. There were issues involving DAD when the mobile node returned home (this has been addressed in version 11 of the spec) 3. Issues with option ordering in the packet have also been addressed in version 11 of the spec 4. There was an implementation incorrectly detecting movement by detecting the different EUI-64 of the router. In our setup the router was using the same EUI-64 for each of its interfaces thus causing difficulty for that implementation to detect movement. This issue was presented to Dave Johnson and he has addressed this issue to the mobileip working group.
What Next? 1. We need to have an interoperability test event within 6 months to include Mobile IPv4, DIAMETER, and Mobile IPv6, with IPsec interaction. (TBD) 2. UNH IOL has developed Mobile IPv6 conformance tests and is currently providing the testing service.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Routing and conformance testing at both Connectathon and IPv6 Forum --------------------------------------------------------------- Participants: 3Com, Cisco, COMPAQ, Ericsson-Telebit, HP, Hitachi, KAME, Microsoft Research, NOKIA, Nortel, SCO, SGI, SUN
RIPng: 1. 14 implementations with nearly 100% interoperability 2. Some minor issues that were implementation-specific 3. The basic setup was all routers on the same network with some configured routes being advertised. 4. 1 question regarding advertising a prefix for a network on the actual network was posted to the ipng mailing list. Implementations were doing one of 3 things: advertise the prefix with metric 1, metric 16, or not advertise it at all.
BGP4+: 1. 9 implementations with nearly 100% interoperability 2. Some minor issues that were implementation-specific 3. The basic setup was all routers on the same network establishing both internal and external peer sessions with other routers.
