= SCTPasp Test Port for TTCN-3 Toolset with TITAN, Description :author: Gábor Szalai :toc: left == Function Specification === Implementation The SCTP layer is implemented in the kernel of the operating system. The test port implements the communication between the SCTP socket and the TTCN-3 SCTP ASPs. The test port can work in two modes: simple mode and normal mode. The selection between these main modes is controlled by a test port parameter (`simple_mode`). In simple mode the test port can work in two submodes: as a client (maintaining only one connection at a time) or as a server (maintaining several client connections at the same time). One-to-one style sockets are used in both client and server submodes. There is a special reconnect mode when the test port is used as a client. In reconnect mode the client automatically connect to an arbitrary server. If the connection fails a reconnection procedure will be initiated. This procedure will block the RTE, it is strongly recommended not to use the test port in reconnect mode. In normal mode the test port can handle arbitrary number of servers and clients at the same time. The table shows all available modes of the test port: |=== 2+^.^|*Simple mode* .3+^.^|*Normal mode* |*Client* .2+^.^|*Server* |`Reconnect` |=== NOTE: While in simple mode the test port is backward compatible to the previous version of the SCTPasp test port, in normal mode there are several functional and semantic differences. For more information refer to <<_4, [4]>>. == System Requirements In order to operate the SCTPasp test port the following system requirements must be satisfied: * Platform: Solaris 10 or Suse Linux 9.1 and above. * TITAN TTCN-3 Test Executor R7A (1.7.pl0) or higher installed. For installation guide see <<_4, [4]>>. NOTE: This version of the test port is not compatible with TITAN releases earlier than R7A. The usage of TITAN releases earlier than R8A is not recommended because this version of the test port is prepared to handle the big integer numbers which feature is introduced in TITAN R8A. The usage of TITAN releases earlier than R8A can result a dynamic test case error. The test port is able to determine the version of the installed lksctp tool version, so the compilation flags: `LKSCTP_1_0_9` and `LKSCTP_1_0_7` no longer needed. == Fundamental Concepts The test port establishes SCTP connection between the TTCN-3 test executor and the SUT. The test port transmits and receives SCTP messages between the TITAN RTE and the SUT. The SCTPasp test port has many ASPs to control the behavior of the test port and to provide information about internal events. For details see <> == Overview The SCTP test port offers SCTP primitives to the test suite in TTCN-3 format. The TTCN-3 definition of the ASPs can be found in a separate TTCN-3 module. This module must be imported into the test suite. The test port translates the SCTP ASPs to SCTP packets (and vice versa) between the TITAN RTE and the SUT. See the overview of the test system below: image:images/Overview_of_test_system.png[alt] == Installation Since the SCTPasp test port is used as a part of the TTCN-3 test environment this requires TTCN-3 Test Executor to be installed before any operation of the SCTP test port. For more details on the installation of TTCN-3 Test Executor see the TITAN Installation Guide <<_4, [4]>>. NOTE: The test port files shall be added to the project or to the _Makefile_. == Configuration The executable test program behavior is determined via the RTE configuration file. This is a simple text file, which contains various sections (e.g. `[TESTPORT_PARAMETERS]`) after each other. The usual suffix of the RTE configuration file is _.cfg_. For further information about the configuration file see <<_1, [1]>>. See the overview of the configuration process below: image:images/Overview_of_config_process.png[alt] [[SCTPasp_Test_Port_Parameters_in_the_RTE_Configuration_File]] === SCTPasp Test Port Parameters in the RTE Configuration File In the `[TESTPORT_PARAMETERS]` section you can specify parameters that are passed to the test ports. Each parameter definition consists of a component name, a port name, a parameter name and a parameter value. The component name can be either an identifier or a component reference (integer) value. The port and parameter names are identifiers while the parameter value must always be a charstring (with quotation marks). Instead of component name or port name (or both of them) the asterisk ("*") sign can be used, which means "all components" or "all ports of the component". More information about the RTE configuration file can be found in <<_1, [1]>>. In the `[TESTPORT_PARAMETERS]` section the following parameters can be set for the SCTPasp test port. If the corresponding parameter is mandatory an (M), if it is optional an (O), if it does not affect the test port – an (X) and if it is conditional a (C) is shown after its name. The first letter refers to simple mode, the second letter refers to the normal mode: * `simple_mode (M, O)` + The parameter is optional, and can be used to enable simple mode. This parameter has the highest priority. If it is given overrides parallel reconnect and `server_mode` settings. Available values: `_"yes"_`/`_"no"_`. + The default value is `_"no"_`. * `reconnect (C, X)` ** [.underline]#Simple mode# + The parameter is optional in client mode and forbidden in server mode (server mode and reconnect mode are mutually exclusive). It can be used to enable reconnect mode. Available values: `_"yes"_`/`_"no"_`. + The default value is `_"no"_`. ** [.underline]#Normal mode# + It does not affect the test port. * `reconnect_max_attempts (O, X)` ** [.underline]#Simple mode# + The parameter is optional, and can be used to specify the maximum number of attempts to restore the SCTP connection in reconnect mode. + The default value is `_"6"_`. + The time interval, between two subsequent connection attempts, is increasing logarithmically (multiplied by 2). The initial time interval is one second. Allowed values: positive integers. ** [.underline]#Normal mode# + It does not affect the test port. * `server_mode (C, X)` ** [.underline]#Simple mode# + The parameter is conditional (server mode and reconnect mode are mutually exclusive), and can be used to specify whether the test port shall act as a server or a client. If the value is `_"yes"_`, the test port will act as a server. If the value is `_"no"_`, the test port will act as a client.

It has four fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the client the message is to be sent to. This field should be set to `_"OMIT"_` in client mode and it is mandatory in server mode and normal mode. Breaking these rules will cause a TTCN error. In received `ASP_SCTP` messages the field will contain the id of the peer endpoint. * `sinfo_stream`: + It specifies the stream number the message is to be sent to. Each association has at least one outbound stream. For further details about streams, see <<_7, [7]>>. * `sinfo_ppid`: + It specifies information about the upper protocol layer. + NOTE: This information is passed opaquely by the SCTP stack from one end to the other. * `data`: + User data stored in unstructured octetstring. === Incoming ASPs [[asp-sctp-assoc-change]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_ASSOC_CHANGE` This ASP indicates an `sctp_assoc_change` notification. This notification is generated when the status of an association has changed: it has been opened or closed. It has two fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. * `sac_state`: + It indicates what kind of event has happened to the association. The most important ones are `SCTP_COMM_UP` and `SCTP_COMM_LOST`. The former indicates that a new association is now ready and data may be exchanged with this peer. The latter indicates that the association has failed. For more information, see <<_7, [8]>>. [[asp-sctp-peer-addr-change]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_PEER_ADDR_CHANGE` This ASP indicates an `sctp_peer_addr_change` notification. This notification is generated when an address that is part of an existing association has experienced a change of state (for example, a failure or return to service of the reachability of an endpoint via a specific transport address). It has two fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. * `spc_state`: + It indicates what kind of event has happened to an address that is part of an existing association. The most important ones are `SCTP_ADDR_AVAILABLE` and `SCTP_ADDR_UNREACHABLE`. The former indicates that this address is now reachable. The latter indicates that the address specified can no longer be reached. Any data sent to this address is rerouted to an alternate until this address becomes reachable. For more information, see <<_7, [7]>>. + NOTE: The test port currently does not support multihoming. This means that one address is available per association. [[asp-sctp-send-failed]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_SEND_FAILED` This ASP indicates an `*sctp_send_failed*` notification. This notification is generated when a message could not be sent to the remote endpoint. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. [[asp-sctp-remote-error]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR` This ASP indicates an `*sctp_remote_error*` notification. This notification is generated when an operational error has been received from the remote peer. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. [[asp-sctp-shutdown-event]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_SHUTDOWN_EVENT` This ASP indicates an `sctp_shutdown_event` notification. This notification is generated when the peer endpoint has been shut down. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. [[asp-sctp-partial-delivery-event]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_PARTIAL_DELIVERY_EVENT` This ASP indicates an `sctp_partial_delivery_event` notification. It is used to tell a receiver that the partial delivery has been aborted. This may indicate the association is about to be aborted. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. [[asp-sctp-adaption-indication]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_ADAPTION_INDICATION` This ASP indicates an `sctp_adaption_indication` notification. It holds the peer’s indicated adaption layer. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. [[asp-sctp-connected]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_Connected` This ASP is used to indicate that a new client is connected to one of our server sockets in normal mode. It has five fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. * `local_hostname`: + It specifies the local host name the remote client connected to. * `local_portnumber`: + It specifies the local port the remote client connected to. * `peer_hostname`: + It specifies the host name of the remote client. * `peer_portnumber`: + It specifies the port number of the remote client. [[asp-sctp-sendmsg-error]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_SENDMSG_ERROR` This ASP is used to indicate a send message error by echoing back the `ASP_SCTP` being failed to send. It has four fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the client the message is to be sent to. * `sinfo_stream`: + It specifies the stream number the message is to be sent to. * `sinfo_ppid`: + It specifies information about the upper protocol layer. * `data`: + It user data stored in unstructured octetstring. [[asp-sctp-result]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_RESULT` This ASP is used to indicate the status of action started by the user. It is generated after `ASP_SCTP_Connect`, `ASP_SCTP_ConnectFrom` and `ASP_SCTP_SetSocketOptions`. Reporting server listening socket opening result is optional, and can be activated with the `SCTP_REPORT_LISTEN_RESULT` C++ pre-processor flag: [source] CPPFLAGS = -D$(PLATFORM) -I$(TTCN3_DIR)/include -I$(SCTP_DIR)/include –DSCTP_REPORT_LISTEN_RESULT The ASP has three fields: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. * `error_status`: + It specifies if there was an error during the execution. If the operation is successful it is set to `_"0"_`, otherwise it is set to `_"1"_`. * `error_message`: + It holds the textual information about the error caused by the user started operation. This field is optional. It will be omitted if the operation is successful. === Outgoing ASPs [[asp-sctp-connect]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_Connect` This ASP is used in client mode to initiate a new connection. You should not use it in server mode otherwise you will get a TTCN error. It has two fields: * `peer_hostname`: + It specifies the host name of the SCTP server. This field is optional. It may be omitted when the corresponding test port parameter has been already specified in the configuration file. If this field is omitted and the corresponding test port parameter is not specified in the configuration file, TTCN error will be generated. * `peer_portnumber`: + It specifies the port number of the SCTP server. This field is optional. It may be omitted when the corresponding test port parameter has been already specified in the configuration file. If this field is omitted and the corresponding test port parameter is not specified in the configuration file, TTCN error will be generated. + NOTE: In normal mode `ASP_SCTP_Connect` returns immediately and `ASP_SCTP_RESULT` will indicate the result of the operation. This may take some time if the remote end does not answer. In simple mode `ASP_SCTP_Connect` blocks until the end of the connect operation. [[asp-sctp-connectfrom]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_ConnectFrom` This ASP is used in normal mode to initiate a new connection when the local host name and port number should be defined. In simple mode it has no affect. It has four fields: * `local_hostname`: + It specifies the local IP address the SCTP socket binds to. This field is optional. If omitted it takes the value of the corresponding test port parameter. If there is no such parameter it will be assigned to the default value (`INADDR_ANY`). * `local_portnumber`: + It specifies the local port number the SCTP socket binds to. * `peer_hostname`: + It specifies the host name of the SCTP server. This field is optional. It may be omitted when the corresponding test port parameter has been already specified in the configuration file. If this field is omitted and the corresponding test port parameter is not specified in the configuration file, TTCN error will be generated. * `peer_portnumber`: + It specifies the port number of the SCTP server. This field is optional. It may be omitted when the corresponding test port parameter has been already specified in the configuration file. If this field is omitted and the corresponding test port parameter is not specified in the configuration file, TTCN error will be generated. + NOTE: `ASP_SCTP_ConnectFrom` returns immediately and `ASP_SCTP_RESULT` will indicate the result of the operation. This may take some time if the remote end does not answer. [[asp-sctp-listen]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_Listen` This ASP is used in normal mode to create a new server socket. In simple mode it has no affect. It has two fields: * `local_hostname`: + It specifies the local IP address the SCTP socket binds to. This field is optional. If omitted it takes the value of the corresponding test port parameter. If there is no such parameter it will be assigned to the default value (`INADDR_ANY`). * `local_portnumber`: + It specifies the local port number the SCTP socket binds to. + NOTE: To activate reporting the result of the listen operation, see section <> [[asp-sctp-setsocketoptions]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_SetSocketOptions` This ASP is defined as a union and can be applied to the setting of four different groups of socket options. * `SCTP_INIT` + It has four fields: + -- ** `sinit_num_ostreams` ** `sinit_max_instreams` ** `sinit_max_attempts`, ** `sinit_max_init_timeo` -- + They have the same semantics as the corresponding test port parameters described in section <> * `SCTP_EVENTS` + It has eight fields: + -- ** `sctp_data_io_event` ** `sctp_association_event` ** `sctp_address_event` ** `sctp_send_failure_event` ** `sctp_peer_error_event` ** `sctp_shutdown_event` ** `sctp_partial_delivery_event` ** `sctp_adaption_layer_event` -- + They have the same semantics as the corresponding test port parameters described in section <>. * `SO_LINGER` + This option is used to perform the SCTP ABORT primitive. To enable the option set `l_onoff` to `_"1"_`. If the `l_linger` value is set to `_"0"_`, sending `ASP_SCTP_Close` is the same as the ABORT primitive. If the value is set to a negative value you will get a warning message. If the value is set to a positive value, the `close`() operation can be blocked for at most `l_linger` milliseconds. If the graceful shutdown phase does not finish during this period, `close`() will return but the graceful shutdown phase continues in the system. + It has two fields: + -- ** `l_onoff`: + Setting option on or off. ** `l_linger`: + Setting linger time. -- * `SCTP_RTOINFO` + This option is used to set the retransmission timeout (RTO) parameters on a per-socket basis. It has four fields: + -- * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client. * `srto_initial`: + It specifies the initial RTO value in milliseconds. * `srto_max`: + It specifies the maximum RTO value in milliseconds. * `srto_min`: + It specifies the minimum RTO value in milliseconds. -- + NOTE: `SCTP_EVENTS` options apply to the test port globally (all client and server sockets). In normal mode `SCTP_INIT` and `SO_LINGER` socket options only apply to the latest socket created by `ASP_SCTP_Connect`, `ASP_SCTP_ConnectFrom` and `ASP_SCTP_Listen`. [[asp-sctp-close]] ==== `ASP_SCTP_Close` This ASP is used to close SCTP connections. It has one field: * `client_id`: + It specifies the association identified by the participating client to be closed. ** [.underline]#Simple mode#: + This field should be set to `_"OMIT"_` in client mode otherwise a TTCN error will be generated. If you omit it in server mode all client connections will be closed. ** [.underline]#Normal mode#: + If you omit the `client_id` all client and server sockets will be closed. == Client Mode In client mode the ASPs should be used in the following sequence (optional steps are placed in brackets; "*" means `_0-many_`; "+" means `_1-many_`; "?" means `_0-1_`): * `ASP_SCTP_Connect` + Example template: + [source] ---- template ASP_SCTP_Connect t_ASP_SCTP_Connect := { peer_hostname := localhost, peer_portnumber := 6017 } ---- * `ASP_SCTP_SetSocketOptions` + Example template: + [source] ---- template ASP_SCTP_SetSocketOptions t_ASP_SCTP_EVENTS := { Sctp_events := { sctp_data_io_event := true, sctp_association_event := true, sctp_address_event := false, sctp_send_failure_event := false, sctp_peer_error_event := false, sctp_shutdown_event := false, sctp_partial_delivery_event := false, sctp_adaption_layer_event := false } } ---- * `ASP_SCTP` + Example template: + [source] ---- template ASP_SCTP t_ASP_SCTP := { client_id := omit, sinfo_stream := 0, sinfo_ppid := 0, data := 'FFF000'O } ---- * `ASP_SCTP_Close` + Example template: + [source] ---- template ASP_SCTP_Close t_ASP_SCTP_Close := { client_id := omit } ---- + In client mode `client_id` should be set to `_"OMIT"_`! + NOTE: In client mode the connection should be initiated manually by sending out `ASP_SCTP_Connect`. == Server mode In server mode the following ASPs can be used in arbitrary sequences: `ASP_SCTP_SetSocketOptions`, `ASP_SCTP`, `ASP_SCTP_Close`. Using `ASP_SCTP_Connect` will result in a TTCN error. == Reconnect mode There is a special reconnect mode when the test port is used as a client. In reconnect mode the client automatically connect to an arbitrary server. If the connection fails a reconnection procedure will be initiated. This procedure will block the RTE, it is strongly recommended not to use the test port in reconnect mode. In reconnect mode only `ASP_SCTP` should be used. == Normal mode In normal mode the test port can handle many client and server socket at the same time. This can be achieved by consecutive usage of `ASP_SCTP_Connect`, `ASP_SCTP_ConnectFrom` and `ASP_SCTP_Listen`. The several SCTP associations can be differentiated by their `client_ids`. The first sources of the `client_id` are ASP_SCTP_RESULT, which returns after a client socket attempts to connect to a server socket, and `ASP_SCTP_Connected`, which is got when a server socket accepts a new client connection. `ASP_SCTP_Conneced` contains information about the remote host name and port of the client too. == Error Messages The error messages have the following general form: [source] Dynamic test case error: Error messages are written into the log file. In the log file a time stamp is also given before the message text. The list of the possible error messages is shown below. Note that this list contains the error messages produced by the test port. The error messages coming from the TITAN are not shown. `*set_parameter(): Invalid parameter value: %s for parameter %s. Only yes and no can be used!*` `*set_parameter(): Invalid parameter value: %s for parameter %s. It should be positive integer!*` `*set_parameter(): Invalid parameter value: %s for parameter %s.

Remote end is unreachable!*` `*map_delete_item: index out of range (0-%d): %d*` `*Socket error: cannot create socket!*` `*Bind error!*` `*Gethostbyname error!*` `*Gethostbyname error! h->h_addr is NULL!*` == Warning Messages `*%s: unknown & unhandled parameter: %s*` `*Connect error!*` `*Setsockopt error!*` `*Sendmsg error! Strerror=%s*` `*Unknown notification type!*` == Limitations Supported platforms: Solaris 10, SUSE Linux 9.1 and above. Multihoming limitations: Only one IP address can be added to the local endpoint. == Examples === Configuration file An example RTE configuration file is shown below: [source] ----
