MIPv6/PMIPv6 Measurements


The number and types of Mobile IPv6 control messages sent and received by an emulator is reported on different tabs depending on the test cases. The following lists the tabs and the test cases that display the MIPv6 messages:

During SGW Nodal testing when Test Activity is Inter-Technology Mobility, Handoff Protocol is eHRPD, and S5/S8 protocol is PMIPv6, the S5-S2a tab also lists the MAG measurements.

In PGW Node test case, these measurements are displayed when Protocol is PMIPv6.

Measurement Values

In the default view, the Reports tab displays the Summary view, which summarizes the measurements for the test session. If your test includes multiple test cases, you can view the report for a single test case by changing the report view...

Unless otherwise noted, cumulative values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated since the start of the test, and per-interval values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated during the interval. You can view either by changing the measurement values...

Elapsed Time is the first measurement on every tab. It reports the amount of time between the start of the test and the end of the report interval.

Test Iteration reports the current iteration in a repeating test session. It is only displayed when a Number of Iterations is defined for the test session.

Message Counters

The following measurements record the number and types of messages exchanged between the CN and the MNs.

Error Counters

The following measurements report the number of times the CN has rejected a Binding Update received from an MN and replied with one of the listed error codes in the Status field of the Binding Acknowledgement:

Any messages received by the CN that fail validation checks and cause the CN to discard the message, or that would cause the CN to reply with an ICMP Parameter Problem message are reported in the Unknown Error counter.
