Landslide Performance Test System – Release 24.3 September 2024

IPv4/IPv6 Tab

The IPv4/IPv6 tab contains the parameters that define the transport protocols used with GPRS data traffic. The parameters displayed on this tab depend on the PDP Type you select on the Test Configuration/Emulator Configuration Tab.

During MME Nodal testing the IPv4 tab is displayed on the GN to GGSN interface tab. During SGW Nodal testing, the IPv4 tab is displayed on the GN interface tab.

NOTE: The IPV4 parameters used in CDMA2000 and Mobile IP test cases are located on the MIP tab.

Measurements collected IPV4 and IPV6 measurements are reported on the GTP tab.

PDP Address Type

In the MME or SGW Nodal test cases, you can use the drop-down list to select the PDP address type.

Options:  dynamic or static

Default:   dynamic

Tcl Parameter:

PdpAddress

PdpAddressType

When you choose static, you can define the IP address that is requested for the first PDP context. This address is incremented for each subsequent PDP context request.

Range: Valid IP Address

Default: 0.0.0.0

Protocol Configuration Options

Select the required authentication method.

Options: No Authentication, Include PAP Authentication, or Include CHAP Authentication

Default: No Authentication

PAP Authentication

When you select PAP Authentication, you can define the password and peer ID.

NOTE: These values must be configured to match the PAP Peer ID and Password expected by the GGSN.

  • Password defines the password to be used for PAP authentication. This may be the subscriber's password.

Range:  N/A

Default: Secret

  • Peer ID defines the peer to be used for PAP authentication.  A unique ID can be supplied for each context by using the Auto-Increment feature. This value may be the subscriber's user name, and the GGSN may or may not use a DNS or AAA server to validate this field.

Default: Secret

Tcl Parameters:

PcoPapPassword

PcoPapPeerId

IncPcoOpt

 

CHAP Authentication

 

When you select CHAP Authentication, you can define the fields that are used to build the CHAP ID field. The field is coded as a CHAP response, and is not checked by the GGSN. The GGSN sends this value to a RADIUS server in an Access Request message.

NOTE:  This must be configured to match the expected CHAP ID at the RADIUS server.

  • Identifier defines the CHAP identifier to be used for CHAP authentication.

Range:  0 — 255

Default: 0

  • Name defines the subscriber's user name to be used for CHAP authentication. A unique name can be supplied for each PDP context by using the Auto-Increment feature.

Range:  N/A

Default: MSName

  • Secret defines the secret used by both the client and server in the MD5 calculation.

Range:  N/A

Default: secret

  • CHAP Challenge Value defines the CHAP value, in hex, to be used for CHAP authentication.

Range:  0-F characters

Default: ABCD

Tcl Parameters:

PcoChapId

PcoChapName

PcoChapSecret

PcoChapChallengeValue

IP Control Protocol

During GGSN Nodal, MME Nodal, MME Node with PGW Emulation. SGW Nodal and UMTS testing, select IP Control Protocol to include the protocol configuration options (PCO) IEs in the Create PDP Context Request.

NOTE: Multiple protocol configurations are included in a single PCO.

Tcl Parameter: PcoIpcpEn

Additional Parameters

Selecting Additional Parameters allows you to further select P-CSCF IP Address request, DNS address request, DHCP address allocation request, IM CN flag request, MSISDN request, etc as part of PCO IE.

Type: True/False

Default: False

Tcl Parameter: PcoAddEn

Tcl Parameter: NasAddEn

Tcl Parameter: Gtp2PcoAddEn

NOTE:  The P-CSCF is the entry point to the IMS domain and serves as the outbound proxy server for the UE. The UE attaches to the P-CSCF prior to performing IMS registrations and initiating SIP sessions. The P-CSCF may be in the home domain of the IMS operator, or it may be in the visiting domain, where the UE is currently roaming. For attachment to a given P-CSCF, the UE performs the P-CSCF discovery procedures. Attachment to the P-CSCF is necessary for the UE for initiating IMS registrations and sessions.

In these procedures, the UE first establishes the IP connectivity access network (IP-CAN) bearer. Then, the UE sends a query to the DHCP server for retrieving the IP addresses and FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the P-CSCF. After the DHCP query, the UE performs a DNS query on the FQDN received from the DHCP server. In response to the DNS query, the IP address of the P-CSCF is returned (referred as the DHCP-DNS procedure for P-CSCF discovery). If the FQDN of the P-CSCF is pre-configured in the UE, the UE can directly query the DNS server and get the IP address of the P-CSCF.

The following are enabled only when you select Additional Parameters:

P-CSCF IPv4 Address Request

Select to indicate that UE requests a P-CSCF IPv4/IPv6  address(es).

P-CSCF IPv6 Address Request

DNS Server IPv4 Address Request  

Select to indicate that the UE performs a DNS query to retrieve a list of P-CSCF(s) IPv4/IPv6 addresses.

DNS Server IPv6 Address Request

IPv4 Address Allocation Request via NAS Signaling

Applicable in HSGW, MME, PGW and SGW Nodal test cases. Select to indicate dedicated signalling PDP context for NAS signalling. If not selected, the network considers the PDP context as a general purpose PDP context.

IPv4 Address Allocation Request via DHCPv4

Select to indicate that the UE requests a DHCP server IPv4 address allocation.

IM CN Subsystem Signalling Flag Request

Select to indicate the dedicated signalling PDP context for IMS signalling.

If UE does not include the IM CN subsystem Signalling flag, the network will consider the PDP context as a general purpose PDP context.

MSISDN Request

Select to indicate request user MSISDN.

IPv4 Link MTU Request

Select to indicate request for IPv4 Link MTU. Only applicable to PDU/PDN type IPv4 or IPv4v6.

MS Support of Network Requested Bearer Control Indicator

Select to indicate that the UE supports network requested bearer control, e.g. network initiated QoS.

MS Support of Local Address in TFT Indicator

P-CSCF IPv4 Address

Select to enter the P-CSCF IPv4 address. Used in PGW/SGW Node stand alone tests. If selected, PGW Node will send this IP address to UE in even Number restoration events (e.g. 2nd, 4th, etc.)

P-CSCF IPv6 Address

Select to enter the P-CSCF IPv6 address. Used in PGW/SGW Node stand alone tests. If selected, PGW Node will send this IP address to UE in even Number restoration events (e.g. 2nd, 4th, etc.)

Secondary P-CSCF IPv4 Address

Enabled if P-CSCF IPv4 Address is enabled. Select to support a secondary P-CSCF V4 Address. Supported in PGW Node/GGSN Node.

Secondary P-CSCF IPv6 Address

Enabled if P-CSCF IPv6 Address is enabled. Select to support a secondary P-CSCF V6 Address. Supported in PGW Node/GGSN Node.

Restoration P-CSCF V4 Address

Enabled if P-CSCF IPv4 Address is enabled. Select to support P-CSCF Restoration Procedure. Enter Address. If selected, PGW Node will send this IP address to UE in odd Number restoration events (e.g. 1st, 3rd, etc.)

Restoration P-CSCF V6 Address

Enabled if P-CSCF IPv6 Address is enabled. Select to support P-CSCF Restoration Procedure. Enter Address. If selected, PGW Node will send this IP address to UE in odd Number restoration events (e.g. 1st, 3rd, etc.)

P-CSCF Reselection Support

Applicable in MME Nodal test cases. If selected, UE will include P-CSCF Restoration Support flag along with P-CSCF IPv4 or P-CSCF IPv6 in PCO-PDN Connectivity Request Message.

NOTE:  If Default Bearers per UE is 2 or more, "Per Bearer APN/PCO Settings" should use "Individual" mode in order to include P-CSCF IPV4/6 Address Request and P-CSCF Reselection support only in PCO for VoLTE PDN Connection.

PDU Session ID
