Protocol Field Compression, Address and Control Field Compression, LCP Terminate Timer and Max LCP Terminate Retries configuration options have been added to PPP setup in End-to-End Mobile IP, FA Node and Nodal, GGSN Node and Nodal, Simple IP and Simple IP VLAN test cases.
The maximum value for the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) variable is now 2000 bytes.
The Test Server Administration window now reports when an Ethernet link is down.
On the NAS tab of the AAA Server Nodal, and General tab of the GGSN Nodal test cases, selecting an option from the Configuration drop-down menu causes associated settings to be populated for the test case.
External data is now supported over IPSec tunnels as well as mixed with other DMFs using Continuous Data.
Added support for event-based off-line charging as defined in 3GPP 32.299. The transmission of event-driven records and the frequency of sending the records can be selected.
The Event Timestamp AVP is filled with the current time when you add the Event Timestamp AVP to the AVP configuration.
In UMTS testing, when the Direct Tunnel feature is enabled, configuration of the Alternate User Address, representing the RNC Direct Tunnel interface is now required.
A user-configurable delay can be configured between the time that the Create Context Response is received and the Direct Tunnel Update Context Request is sent.
In ASN Nodal testing for Session Loading with Mobility or Mobile Node Mobility, handoffs can be configured to be uncontrolled or fully controlled MN-initiated.
The CSN Nodal test case tests/isolates the CSN and allows WiMAX clients to establish sessions with the HA and authenticate to the AAA server.
In ASN Gateway and CSN Nodal testing, Single or Double EAP can be selected for authentication.
