Two kinds of entities are considered successively as IUT: - Signalling Gateway Process (SGP); - Application Server Process (ASP). In a Signalling G
15、ateway, it is expected that the SS7 Signalling is received over a standard SS7 network termination, using the SS7 Message Transfer Part (MTP) to provide transport of SS7 Signalling messages to and from an SS7 Signalling End Point (SEP) or SS7 Signalling Transfer Point (STP). In other words, the SG a
16、cts as a Signalling Link Terminal (SLT). The SG then provides an interworking of transport functions with IP Signalling Transport, in order to transport the MTP3 signalling messages to the network element (e.g. an MGC) actings as Application Server (AS) where the peer MTP3 protocol layer exists, as

18、 protocol, certain optional test purposes will require the use of multiple ASPs within an AS. 4.1.2 General assumptions Test purposes have been written for behaviours requested with “MUST“ or that appear as obvious in present form. In addition test purposes have been defined for implementation depen
19、dent behaviour, where at least one of the implementation options is mandatory. ETSI ETSI TS 102 380 V1.1.1 (2004-12) 8 4.2 Overview of the Test Suite Structure The following figure shows the Test Suite Structure (TSS). Functionality subgroups may be subdivided in three subgroups: Valid behaviour (V)
20、; Inopportune behaviour (IO); Invalid behaviour (IV).

22、flows corresponding to the test cases. The test cases are broadly divided into a number of different groups according to the protocol functionality. State and traffic transactions (ASPM): This group validates the ASP / SG state and traffic transaction messages. Interface identifier Management (IIM):
23、 The dynamic registration and de-registration procedures are covered in this section. M2UA User Adaptation Messages (MAUP): MTP2 user adaptation procedures are covered in this section. Each group is further categorized based on the test case configuration of the IUT i.e. whether ASP or SG of M2UA la
24、yer is under test. Then the group has the normal category of valid, inopportune and invalid behaviour tests. A further group has been added to cover the error handling procedures in a general manner. 5 Test Purposes (TP) 5.1 Introduction For each test requirement a TP is defined. 5.1.1 TP naming con
25、vention TPs are numbered, starting at 01, within each group. Groups are organized according to the TSS. Additional references are added to identify the actual test suite (see table 2).

27、. 5.1.2 Source of TP definition The TPs are based on TS 102 141 1. 5.1.3 Test strategy As the base standard TS 102 141 1 contains no explicit requirements for testing, the TPs were generated as a result of an analysis of the base standard. The TPs are only based on conformance requirements related t
28、o the externally observable behaviour of the IUT and are limited to conceivable situations to which a real implementation is likely to be faced (see ETS 300 406 5). 5.1.4 TP structure Each test purpose is decomposed in five keywords. The TPId gives a unique identifier to each test purpose. The Statu
29、s specifies whether the test purpose or the group is mandatory or optional according to RFC 3331 2. The Test Configuration of the IUT within the test architecture. The Precondition determines the initial state of the SUT for the evaluating the test purpose. The Ref. outlines the references in RFC 33
30、31 2 used to create the test purpose. The Purpose describes the objective of the test.

31、s: Mandatory Test Configuration One ASP is configured in an AS. If necessary the AS and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. ASP is in down state. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.4.5 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: To validat
32、e that the ASP Up message received with mandatory and optional parameters, moves the state of the ASP and AS to Inactive at the IUT. Ensure that the IUT responds with the ASP Up Ack and Notify (AS-Inactive) message indicating the AS state has been changed to inactive. TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_02 Status
33、: Optional Test Configuration Single ASP is configured in two different AS. If necessary the ASs and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP associations are established between ASP and IUT. ASP is in down state. Ref: Sections 4.3.4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.4.5 of RFC 3331 2 Purp
34、ose: To ensure that, upon reception of the ASP Up message, IUT responds with ASP Up Ack and 2 Notify (AS-Inactive) messages corresponding to each AS. TPId: M2UA _SGP_ASP_V_03 Status: Optional Test Configuration Two ASPs (ASP1 and ASP2) are configured in a single AS. If necessary the AS and ASPs have
35、 to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP associations are established between IUT and both ASPs. Both ASPs are in down state. Ref: Sections 4.3.4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.4.5 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: Validate that when IUT receives an ASP Up message for ASP1, it responds with ASP Up Ack and
36、 a Notify (AS-Inactive) message, indicating the AS state has moved to inactive. It should be verified that no Notify message is sent to the ASP that has not yet sent the ASP Up message. Now send the ASP Up message for ASP2 and validate that the IUT responds with ASP Up Ack message only. TPId: M2UA_S
37、GP_ASPM_V_04 Status: Mandatory Test Configuration One ASP is configured in an AS. If necessary the AS and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. AS is in inactive state. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.7, 3.3.2.8 and 4.3.4.3 of RFC 3331 2 Pur
38、pose: To validate the ASP Active message having all parameters and one configured IID (using tag of 0x1), moves the state of the ASP to active. Ensure that the IUT responds with the ASP Active Ack and a Notify (AS-Active) message to indicate that the AS state has moved to the active. If the ASP was
39、pre-configured to serve more than one IID, the ASP Active Ack message should contain all pre-configured IIDs and not only the one contained in the ASP Active message. ETSI ETSI TS 102 380 V1.1.1 (2004-12) 11TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_05 Status: Mandatory Test Configuration One ASP is configured in an AS.
40、 If necessary the AS and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. ASP is in inactive state. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.7 and 4.3.4.3 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: To validate the ASP Active message having all parameters and multiple configured II
41、D (using tag of 0x1), moves the state of the ASP to active. Ensure that the IUT responds with the ASP Active Ack and a Notify (AS-Active) message to indicate the AS state has moved to the active. TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_06 Status: Mandatory Test Configuration One ASP is configured in an AS. If necessa
42、ry the AS and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. ASP is in inactive state. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.7 and 4.3.4.3 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: Ensure that an on reception of an ASP Active message with integer range parameters with config
43、ured start and stop values (tag of 0x8) from peer, IUT responds with the ASP Active Ack and a Notify (AS-Active) message having the value of (AS_active) in status type field. TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_07 Status: Mandatory Test Configuration One ASP is configured in an AS. If necessary the AS and ASP hav
44、e to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. ASP is in active state. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.9, 4.3.2 and 4.3.4.4 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: Ensure that upon reception of an ASP Inactive message, IUT responds with ASP Inactive Ack message and one or m
45、ore Notify messages depending whether the IUT has T(r) implemented or not. TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_08 Status: Optional Test Configuration Single ASP is configured in two different AS. If necessary the ASs and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established betwe
46、en ASP and IUT. ASP is in inactive state in both AS1 and AS2. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.8 and 4.3.4.3 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: Ensure that the IUT responds with one or two ASP Active Ack and one or two Notify (AS Active) messages, indicating the AS state transaction to active in both AS, upon receiving an A
47、SP Active message with only the mandatory parameters. TPId: M2UA_SGP_ASPM_V_09 Status: Optional Test Configuration Single ASP is configured in two different AS. If necessary the ASs and ASP have to be pre-configured at the IUT. Pre-Condition SCTP association is established between ASP and IUT. ASP i
48、s in inactive state in both AS1 and AS2. Ref: Sections 3.3.2.8 and 4.3.4.3 of RFC 3331 2 Purpose: Ensure that the IUT responds with an ASP Active Ack and Notify (AS Active) messages indicating the AS1 state transaction to active, when it receives an ASP Active message with IID values as that of AS1.
49、 Also, validate that on receiving an ASP Active message with IID as configured for AS2, IUT responds with the ASP Active Ack and Notify (AS-Active) message.
