Release 4.5 introduces the PDIF Test Feature, which adds PDIF-FA testing to the Mobile IP application, and the Diameter Credit Control Test Application, which includes an optional DCCA Server Emulation feature. General test system enhancements and enhancements to existing applications and features that are included in Release 4.5 are listed below.

IMPORTANT: With Release 4.5, the TAS is migrating to JRE 1.5, which affects the user interface and compatibility between Landslide releases.

ATM interfaces are now supported by the AAA Server Node and the NAS Node.
EAP-TLS authentication is now supported in the AAA Server Nodal and AAA Server Node test cases.
You can now define a delay time for the Accounting Request - start messages in the AAA Server Nodal test case, and delay Access Accept messages when CoA Simulation is enabled in the AAA Server Node test case.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the AAA Server Node and the NAS Node.
New RP settings have been added to support EVDO Rev A: Include NVSE Service Option, NVSE QOS Mode, DSCP, Flow ID, Flow Priority, and Profile ID. See Service Instance Settings for more information. You can also determine when auxiliary service instances should be activated with the Auto-Start Auxiliary Sessions checkbox.
New measurements have been added to the Test Summary report tab that separately track the number of main service instances and auxiliary service instances established.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the PCF, FA, HA, and Security Gateway Nodes.
Retry behavior for Open RP has been enhanced. You can now configure a timeout value and an incrementing retry interval.
You can add custom extensions to MIP messages with the Proprietary Extensions settings.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the CGF Node.
The Supports both local and remote clients.
The Message Editor window has been enhanced with tools to aid you in using Auto-Fill Fields. In addition, if you edit the message content after placing fields or defining Filler Content, the positions defined in Offset and Content Start will automatically adjust.
The maximum number of Auto-Fill fields has been increased to 20 and the maximum size of each field has been increased to 4KB.
The maximum size of Test Data Files used for filler content has been increased to 5MB.
You can now copy and paste a Message Flow Control or an entire DMF sequence with the control context menu.
The Protocol Wizard now supports MMS/WSP and SIP message flows.
The PDML to DMF Wizard now allows you to configure random ports and the initiating side while importing a message trace.
The lower ranges of the link speed limits have been reduced to 1 Kb/second.
You can now define proprietary DHCP extensions and include them in selected server responses.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the DHCP Server Node.
IPSec parameter documentation has been re-organized and consolidated under Test Options > IPSec > IPSec Parameters.
EAP-TLS authentication is now supported.
IKEv2 with RSA Signatures now supports a Certificate Authority payload.
AES-XCBC-MAC96 is now supported for IKE Phase II authentication.
AES192 and AES256 encryption key types are now supported in IKE Phase I and IKE Phase II.
Oakley Group 1536 and Group 2048 are now supported in IKE Phase I and IKE Phase II.
The average time required to set up and tear down IPSec tunnels is now included in IPSec measurements.
Both ATM and Ethernet interfaces are now supported by SGSN and GGSN Nodes, and the nodes are defined on the re-designed Control Node and User Node sub-tabs. ATM is also supported by the Security Gateway Node.
You can now set a different RAT Type on the Handoff GTP tab.
The GGSN Node test case now supports node-initiated PDP context updates.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the LAC and Security Gateway Nodes.
ATM interfaces are now supported by the FA Node in the IPv4 HA Nodal test case.
You can add custom extensions to MIP messages with the Proprietary Extensions settings.
Support for various GPRS Encryption Algorithms can now be enabled and disabled using checkboxes rather than 0/1 entries.
All attributes for the MS Radio Access Capability information element are now configurable.
Ethernet interfaces are now supported by the Control and User Nodes, and ATM interfaces are now supported by the GGSN Control and GGSN User Nodes.
New timers have been added that allow you to delay the MN detach after all PDP contexts have been deactivated, and delay RNC link deactivation after all MNs have been detached.
The QOS Update Test has been enhanced to include the option to update PDP context IP addresses when the update is initiated by the GGSN node.
Q.SAAL measurements have been added.
Starting IMSI has been removed from RANAP settings and is now only defined on the GMM tab.
Test Data Files can now be included in exported Test Suites.
The Save window has been improved to show the contents of a library, and both it and the Chooser window allow you to sort displayed library listings.
Variable names have been added to the measurements displayed in the View Measurements window. You can use the variable names to sample measurements during the test with the API query command.
