Landslide emulates Offline Charging System (OFCS) Node in OFCS Node test case. In OFCS Node testing, the OFCS Node provides a configuration to test the offline charging sessions starting from the PDN Gateway (PDN GW) or Serving Gateway SUTS.
You can emulate multiple nodes with the Number of Nodes setting1.
Define the following:
Multi-Homed: Select to indicate that SCTP endpoint is multi-homed, where more than one destination transport address is used to reach the endpoint.
Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvSctpMultiHomedMultiSrcEn
Host: Depending on whether the node emulates originating or destination point, Host identifies the endpoint that originated the Diameter message or the Diameter Identity of the destination host.
Realm: Depending on whether the node emulates originating or destination point, Realm identifies the realm of the originator of any Diameter message or the realm the message is to be routed to.
Tcl Parameter: OfcsNodeAddr
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.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
Custom port selection and the encapsulation used by the AAL5 layer with the Advanced... button.
1Maximum rates, number of sessions, and number of emulated nodes vary depending on the test configuration and the test system's licensed capacity.
