What test suite exists for SCTP

What test suite exists for SCTP

[Paolo Galtieri]

Vlad,
  what test suite exists for SCTP?  The lksctp-tools code hasn't been 
updated since Feb of 2006, and I was wondering whether this version is 
still the most useful.

Thanks

Hi Paolo

I have a lksctp-tools tree on git.kernel.org that's up to date.  We'll need
to release new tools when 2.6.22 ships.

What kind of test suite are you looking for?  There is also a conformance test
suite at http://sctp.fh-muenster.de/sctp-testtool.html, but I haven't played
with it yet.

I also have some home-grown tools that I really need to find time to clean-up and
publish.

Vlad,
  I'm looking for something that exercises the SCTP stack.   Something 
that can be run against different kernel versions for comparing features 
and regression testing.

Thanks
Paolo

lksctp-tools git repo is a good start.  There 2 different sets of test:

1.  Frame tests in lksctp-tools/test.  These run the kernel sctp code in
userspace and are programmable to do whatever you want.  You can add tests
to cover new functionality or ever force corner cases.  The only limitation
of these is that you can't simulate race conditions.

2.  Userspace functional tests in lksctp-tools/src/func_tests.  These are mostly
API tests.

That's a good start.  You can add to it anything that could be missing.

One warning about frame tests.  You need different version of them for each
different kernel version.  They depend on the kernel internals and when those change
we have to continually change these tests.
