Landslide emulates MME Sm Node and provides a configuration to test the MBMS-GW SUT. In eMBMS Nodal test case, the MME Sm Node simulates one or more MMEs that terminate the Sm interface with MBMS-GW SUT. You can emulate multiple nodes with the Number of Nodes setting1.
You can simulate up to 1000 MME Sm Nodes1 with the Nodes setting.
With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:
The IP address and routing options... The IP Address will increment for each node.
The MAC Address to override the Hardware MAC address so the packets sent out of the interface will use the provisioned MAC address rather the Hardware MAC Address.
Custom port selection... and error injection with the Advanced... button.
Select default routing that were configured for the test server.
Select the Next Hop IP Address instead of using the test server's default route.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
1 Maximum rates, number of sessions, and number of emulated nodes vary depending on the test configuration and the test system's licensed capacity.
