Re: [Nsis-imp] NSIS/NTLP Interoperability Event before IETF in Paris

Hi all,

It would be useful for all of us who are attending the interop to have
an idea of what GIMPS features we wish to test. I have therefore drawn
up a possible list of tests we could perform:

1)	Stateless Operation (no stack proposals sent, no routing state
stored, no Confirm sent):
	a)	Intercept and decode a Query msg at RNode.
	b)	Receive and decode a Response msg at QNode.
2)	Stateful D-Mode operation (still without stack proposals):
	a)	Configure Rnode to store state on reception of Query and
not request a Confirm. Install routing state at each node. Send a data
message using the routing state.
	b)	Configure Rnode to store state on reception of Query and
request a Confirm and repeat (a).
	c)	Configure Rnode to store state on reception of a Confirm
and repeat (a).
3)	Repeat test 2 but advertise and create a TCP Forward C-Mode
connection.
4)	Refresh existing routing state created in (5) by sending a Q/R
sequence.

Each test should be run 3 times: with the Qnode acting as an endpoint
and the Rnode acting as a router; with the Qnode acting as a router and
the Rnode acting as an endpoint; with the two nodes having swapped
Q/Rnode roles.

Note that we aren't currently intending to test any particular NSLP data
formats. Does anyone have any comments on the proposed tests? Is there
anything missing which we people feel we should test?

If we have time (and we have implementations which support it) we could
also repeat test (3) using TLS instead of TCP. Is anyone planning to
bring an implementation which supports TLS?

Best regards,

Chris Lang
