Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 1. Introduction The document is meant to aid in the identifying the functional test cases of a Diameter implementation. The Diameter interoperability test suites are categorized by different applications or extensions. Each category is further subdivided into required and optional functionality. The required functionality is the baseline capability that an implementation must support to allow basic interoperability for that category. Optional functionality covers features that not all implementations support or may wish to test. The following is a list of Diameter applications that are currently categorized in this document: 1. Diameter Base Protocol [RFC3588] 2. Diameter Credit Control 3. Diameter SIP 4. 3GPP Interfaces 5. Diameter EAP 6. Diameter NASREQ 7. Diameter MIP Note that some of the test cases can overlap. For example, a NASREQ test case would normally encompass base protocol routing. In such cases, it is implied that multiple test scenario can be covered by some test. At its current state, this document provides only a collection of test cases designed for interoperability. Test plans may be included in future revisions of this work or maybe provided in some other document. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. Within this document the terms defined in [RFC2119] refers to the functionality that have to be provided by an implementation for the usage within this interoperability test event. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 3. Diameter Base Protocol Test Suite All implementation must conform to [RFC3588]. 3.1. Required 3.1.1. Connectivity and Peering Implementations must conform to Section 5.6 of [RFC3588]. Typical test topology for statemachine test uses peer pairs as shown in Figure 1. It is left to the testers if one-to-many or many-to-one connections will be performed to test scalability and loading. +--------+ +--------+ |Vendor A|<---wired link---->|Vendor B| +--------+ +--------+ Figure 1: Peer Statemachine Test Topology 3.1.1.1. Capabilities Negotiation Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior described in Section 5.3 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for establishment of connection with test pairs advertising support for common application ids and common transport security (auth, accounting or vendor). Vendor A initiates transport connection to B and trigger the process. o Positive test for DWR/DWA exchange after connection is established. Vendor A and B both exchange watchdogs as per Section 3.4.1 of [RFC3539]. o Negative test where DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_APPLICATION is returned by a peer with no common application id (auth, accounting or vendor). Intentionally configure vendor A not to advertise any applications, different applications than B or vendor id's known only to A. o Negative test where DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_SECURITY is returned by a peer with no common application id. Intentionally configure vendor A to send Inband-Security-AVP with value 1 (TLS) that B will not support. o Negative test for unknown peers. Use of DIAMETER_UNKNOWN_PEER or silent discard to disconnect unknown peers. Intentionally configure vendor A to send an origin-host that is not in B's peer table. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 o Negative test for agents. Verify that the CER/CEA exchange is limited to direct peers and does not get routed across Diameter entities. Verification of each test result can be done manually. 3.1.1.2. Election This test case refers to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588]. Responders must be able to resolve contention with initiator peers. o Positive test for establishment of connection with responder having higher identity than initiator. Vendor A initiates connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later. Vendor A having a higher identity should close B's connection attempt. o Positive test for disconnection with initiator having lower identity than the responder. Vendor A initiates a connection followed by B doing the same a few milliseconds later. Vendor A having a lower identity should close its initial connection attempt. o Negative test for disconnection when initiator and responder have equal identity. Vendor A and B will advertise the same identity. Verify that both peers closed the connection. Verification of test results can be done manually. 3.1.1.3. Disconnection Implementations must conform to Section 5.6.4 of [RFC3588] and Section 3.4.1 of [RFC3539]. Peers must be able to quickly determine disconnection events. Determination must be made within 30 seconds of the event. Verification of test results can be done manually. o Positive test for peer disconnection using DPR/DPA exchange. Vendor A initiates shutdown while connected to B. Implementations behavior may vary depending on disconnection cause such as an eventual connection retry if a disconnection cause of REBOOTING is received. o Positive test for detecting disconnection via system level events (i.e., transport resets, socket error, system link-down signals, etc). Implementation must be able to initiate failover procedure. Implementation should also attempt re-connection with lost peer. Hard disconnection of vendor A and B's wired link can be done to simulate this scenario. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 o Positive test for detecting disconnection via watchdog timeout. If there is no activity after a watchdog timer expires with pending request then the peer becomes suspect and implementation must be able to initiate failover procedure. [RFC3539] suggest a minimum watchdog timeout at 6 sec. Implementation should also attempt re-connection with lost peer before resetting the connection. Vendor B can setup a transport level filter to silently drop AAA traffic from B to simulate unresponsiveness of B. o Positive test for resetting connection after at least two(2) watchdog has expired. If a connection is already suspect, the peers must reset the connection. Vendor A or B can setup a transport level filter to silently drop AAA traffic and simulate unresponsiveness of both peers. Verification of test results can be done manually. 3.1.1.4. Re-Connection Algorithms Implementations must conform to Section 2.1 of [RFC3588]. Although a vendor can implement other algorithms and policies than those proposed in [RFC3588], a default reconnection scheme must be implemented. o Positive test for peer re-connection after disconnection has been detected. The link between vendor A and B is temporarily disconnected until such time that disconnection is detected by both peers. The link can then be restored to test the re- connection behavior of both peers. Verify that at least three(3) watchdog exchanges occur before both peers are no longer suspect. 3.1.1.5. Failover and Failback Implementations must conform to Section 5.4.5 of [RFC3588] and Section 3.4.2 of [RFC3539]. Testing failover mechanism requires alternate peer connections. A basic ring topology to test failover and failback is shown in Figure 2 where vendor A has a primary route to vendor C via vendor B and secondary route via vendor D. The same symmetry is applied to all other vendors. As an example, vendor C has a symmetric topology where D is its primary connection and B is its secondary. This allows the same tests to be performed for all vendors. For testing failover on vendor A and B, link0 can be disconnected. For vendor C and D, link2 can be disconnected and so on. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 +---------+ |Vendor B | +---------+ / \ link0 link3 +---------+/ \+---------+ |Vendor A | |Vendor C | +---------+\ /+---------+ link1 link2 \+---------+/ |Vendor D | +---------+ Figure 2: Failover Test Topology The enumerated test cases refers only to vendor A but can be applied to any of the vendor implementations in Figure 2. Conditions for a positive test requires that realm routes to C is present in A and host routing is not used. Initial traffic should flow from A to C via B (as the primary peer of A). o Positive test for failover when link0 is disconnected. Vendor A should have pending requests queued prior to disconnection. Upon disconnection (see Section 3.1.1.3), verify that the pending request with T-flag set has been forwarded to C via D. o Positive test for failback when link0 is restored and re- connection succeeds (See Section 3.1.1.4). Verify that new request message is routed back to B. o Negative test to generate DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER on answer message from B to A when Destination-Host is set to C. o Negative test to detect duplicate messages on C. Vendor B can disable watchdog processing but still allow request message forwarding. This makes B a suspect peer from A and trigger failover procedure. Forwarding of queue request will then be done through D. However, the original request messages would have reached C via B. 3.1.2. Routing Implementation must conform to Section 6 of [RFC3588]. A basic topology to test Diameter routing is shown in Figure 3 where vendor A and vendor B can deploy two(2) Diameter peers to test host, realm and answer message routing. Vendor A1 and A2 shares the same realm (realmA). Vendor B1 and B2 share a different realm (realmB). Test between both realms are symmetric although the description focuses Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 mostly to vendor A for editorial reasons. The topology is also designed so that multi-hop forwarding, message loopback and agent configuration can be tested. Note that some test cases in this section require link disconnection overlap with the test cases outline in Section 3.1.1.3. An implementation experiencing link disconnection must update its peer and realm route table accordingly. Verification for usage of proper routing AVPs in Section 6.7 of [RFC3588] must be done when testing routing functionality. +---------+ |Vendor A2| (realmA) +---------+ / | \ (realmA) link1 | link2 +---------+/ | \+---------+ |Vendor A1| link0 |Vendor B2| (realmB) +---------+\ | /+---------+ link4 | link3 \+---------+/ |Vendor B1| +---------+ (realmB) Figure 3: Routing Test Topology 3.1.2.1. Peer Based Request Routing Implementation must conform to Section 6.1.5 of [RFC3588]. In order to perform the test cases the peer requesting the AAA routing must have the destination-host and the destination-realm present in the request message. o Positive test for request forwarding from originator. Request messages generated from A1 should reach B2 via B1 if destination- host of the request is B2 and destination-realm is realmB and all links are up. A1 must perform realm routing to reach B1 and B1 must perform forwarding to reach B2. Verification of routing can be done manually if message has reached B2 via link4 and link3. o Positive test for multi-hop request forwarding. Request messages generated from A1 with destination-host B2 and destination-realm realmB should reach B2 via A2 and B1 if all links are up except for link4 and link2. A1 and A2 must perform realm routing while B1 performs forwarding. A1 and A2 must be able to route the request message to B1 even if it does not have B2 in its peer table. Verification of routing can be done manually if message has reached B2 via link1, link0 and link3. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 o Negative test for request forwarding. If a request message generated from A1 has a destination-host B2 and destination-realm realmB with all links up except for link0, link2 and link4 then A2 must send an answer message to A1 with result-code DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER. Verification can be done manually if the answer message has reached A1 with E-bit set. 3.1.2.2. Realm Based Routing Implementation must conform to Section 6.1 and Section 6.1.6 of [RFC3588]. Test cases for realm-based request routing must have destination-realm present but must not have destination-host present in the request message. Note that there is some test overlap with the test cases defined in Section 3.1.2.1. o Positive test for request routing from originator. Request messages generated from A1 should reach B2 via B1 if the destination-realm is realmB and all links are up. A1 and B1 must perform realm routing to reach B2. The request must have an id (app, auth or vendor) that B1 must route and B2 must process locally. Verification of routing can be done manually if message has reached B2 via link4 and link3. o Positive test for multi-hop request routing. Request messages generated from A1 with destination-realm realmB should reach B2 via A2 and B1 if all links are up except for link4 and link2. A1, A2 and B1 must perform realm routing. The request must have an id (app, auth or vendor) that A1, A2 and B1 must route and B2 must process locally. Verification of routing can be done manually if message has reached B2 via link1, link0 and link3. o Negative test for request routing. If a request message generated from A1 has a destination-realm realmB with all links up except for link0, link2 and link4 then A2 must send an answer message to A1 with result-code DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER. Verification can be done manually if the answer message has reached A1 with E-bit set. 3.1.2.3. Answer Message Routing Implementations must conform to Section 6.2 of [RFC3588]. Answer routing can be verified using test cases in Section 3.1.2.1 and Section 3.1.2.2. 3.1.2.4. Loop Detection Implementation must conform to Section 6.1.3 of [RFC3588]. All forwarders must verify that their local identity is not present in Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 the route-record of the request. If it is present, the forwarder must send an answer with result-code DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED. If it is not present, implementations must also insert route-records into the request messages. o Positive test for loop detection can be done if a request originating from A1 has a destination-realm realmA and A1 is configure to route request for realmA to A2, A2 will route request for realmA to B1 and B1 will route request back to A1. Though A1 originated the request, it must be able to send an answer message with the E-bit set through the request path. 3.1.3. Agent Implementations must conform to Section 2.8.3, 6.1.8 and 6.2.2 of [RFC3588]. The topology shown in Figure 3 is also used for testing agent functionality. Note that an overlap exists with the test case described in Section 3.1.2 when testing relay agents. Verification for usage of routing AVPs in Section 6.7 of [RFC3588] must be done when testing agent functionality. Testing of proxy agents that keep vendor specific state, such as proxy-info, proxy-state, proxy-host, is out of scope of this document and can be done in parallel or independent of the test cases enumerated here. 3.1.3.1. Redirection Implementation must conform to Section 6.1.7 of [RFC3588]. Verification can be made by inspecting the redirect answer message whether the result-code is set to DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION with the E-bit enabled and redirect-hosts added. o Positive test for redirection. Request messages generated from A1 should reach B2 via B1 using redirect from A2 and all links are up except link0 and link2. A1 must be configured to forward request message for realmB/B2 via A2. A2 must be configured to act as a redirect agent and signal a redirect indication to A1 to use B1 instead. Verification of redirection can be done manually if messages have reached B2 and re-direct indication was processed by A1. 3.2. Optional 3.2.1. Connectivity and Peering Implementations must conform to Section 5.6 of [RFC3588]. Test topology uses Figure 1. This section describes optional test cases. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 3.2.1.1. General Statemachine Implementations must conform to Section 5.6.1 of [RFC3588]. The same topology in Figure 1 can be used to perform the test scenarios listed in this section. o Negative test for non-CEA message received during CER/CEA exchange. Silent discard and peer disconnection. Vendor B can initiate a non Diameter server listening on a Diameter defined port number to simulate unrecognizable messages from vendor B. Or the AAA peer of vendor B is modified to generate a non-CEA message once a transport connection setup has been initiated. Verify that vendor A has closed the connection. o Negative test for Conn-Ack timeout during CER/CEA exchange. Vendor B can initiate a non Diameter server listening on a Diameter port that does not ack a connection request. Or the AAA peer B can be modified to do the same. Verify that A has closed the connection. 3.2.1.2. Dynamic Peer Discovery Implementations must conform to Section 5.3 of [RFC3588]. Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior. o Positive test for establishment of connection with unknown peer. The topology for this test is Figure 1. Test case is dependent on implementation accepting dynamic peer table updates. In such case, lifetime of new peer entry should be check against lifetime of connection. Intentionally configure vendor A to send an origin-host that is not in B's peer table. Verification of result can be done manually by inspecting the resulting peer table of B. o Positive test after redirection (Section 3.1.3.1). The topology for this test is Figure 3. Additional verification can be done if Section 3.1.3.1 is successful. Redirect-host routes can be cached by an implementation as a new route entry. Same scenarios as in the redirect test case except subsequent request messages will be forwarded to B1 by A1. Verify that only the initial message results in a redirect process. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 4. Diameter Applications 4.1. Common Test Suite 4.1.1. Required 4.1.1.1. Authentication and/or Authorization Applications intending to use authentication and/or authorization must conform to the statemachine specification in Section 8.1 of [RFC3588]. Since these test cases are session level, any topology can be used by a pair of vendors performing interoperability. The minimum topology will be based on Figure 1. Note that majority of these test are performed as part of other Diameter application test cases. Therefore, implementations must be able to comply with these common cases. 4.1.1.1.1. Stateful Session Implementations must conform to Section 8.1 of [RFC3588]. Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior. o Positive test for proper stateful session establishment. Verify that auth-session-state with STATE_MAINTAINED is enforced in the client session. Verify that auth-session-lifetime and auth- session-grace-period are negotiated properly and enforced between vendor implementations. Must conform to Section 8.4 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper stateful session re-auth. Verify server initiated RAR/RAA exchange occurs on auth-lifetime and auth-grace period expiration. Must conform to Section 8.3 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper stateful session disconnection. Verify client initiated STR/STA exchange occurs for auth failure and session timeout. Verify values of auth-lifetime and auth-grace period against session-lifetime according to Section 8.9 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper stateful session disconnection. Verify server initiated ASR/ASA exchange occurs when server decides to discontinue service. Implementations that allow for hard session termination should be able to perform these tests. Must conform to Section 8.5 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper stateful session disconnection using origin-state-id. Verify a vendor implementation can at least cleanup stateful sessions once it has received a value of origin- Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 state-id greater than a previously known value from the same issuer. Verification can be done in the absence of an STR/STA exchange. Must conform to Section 8.6 of [RFC3588]. 4.1.1.1.2. Stateless Session Implementations must conform to Section 8.1 of [RFC3588]. Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior. o Positive test for proper stateless session establishment. Verify that auth-session-state negotiation between vendor implementation with NO_STATE_MAINTAINED is enforced in the client session. o Positive test for proper stateless session disconnection. Verify that session-lifetime is enforced in the client session. 4.1.1.2. Accounting Applications intending to use Diameter accounting may conform to Section 8.2 and 9 of [RFC3588] if the particular application has not already defined its own statemachine. Since these test cases are also session level, any topology can be used by a pair of vendors performing interoperability. The minimum topology will be based on Figure 1. Note that majority of these test are performed as part of other Diameter application test cases. Therefore, implementations must be able to comply with these common cases. 4.1.1.2.1. Client Session Implementations must conform to Section 8.2 of [RFC3588]. Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior. Verification of test results for these cases can be done manually. o Positive test for proper client session establishment. Verify that sub-session id is supported and that the client can support event record generation at the least. Verify that the client should at least be able to support DELIVER_AND_GRANT. Test entities must be able to configure their server implementation to send this avp. Must conform to Section 9.4 and 9.8.7 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper client session termination. Verify that session termination causes transmission of stop record events if any and that all records generated are accounted for. Validation of accounting records can be Diameter application specific and is left to the tester to confirm. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 o Negative test for client session when server reports a failure. Verify that client session can cope with failed accounting starts or server storage failure and act accordingly based on Section 8.2 [RFC3588]. Behavior of the client can be policy and implementation specific and is left to the tester to confirm. Failed accounting starts and storage failures can be simulated by mis-configuration of the server test peer. o Negative test for client session when connectivity fails. Verify that client session can cope with connectivity failure and act accordingly based on Section 9.4 [RFC3588]. The test can overlap with Section 3.1.1.3 and Section 3.1.1.5. 4.1.1.2.2. Server Session Implementations must conform to Section 8.2 and 9 of [RFC3588]. Implementations must be able to perform at least the following behavior. Verification of test results for these cases can be done manually. Since server sessions must support record storage it is left to the testers to validate storage (Section 9.5 [RFC3588]), sequencing and co-relation (Section 9.6 [RFC3588]) of records. o Positive test for proper server session establishment. Verify that sub-session id is supported and that the server enforces record generation on the client based on accounting-record-type. Verify that supervision timer is enforced when using stateful sessions. Must conform to Section 9.5 of [RFC3588]. o Positive test for proper server session termination. Verify that expiration of supervision timer in a stateful session terminates both client and server session on any vendor implementation. o Negative test for server session when local storage failure occurs. Verify that server can notify client of its state and act accordingly based on Section 8.2 of [RFC3588]. Validation is policy and implementation specific and is left to the tester to confirm. Storage failure can be simulated by mis-configuration on the server test peer. This test is mostly a local validation but it can be used in parallel with Section 4.1.1.2.1. o Negative test for server session when connectivity fails. Verify that server can and act accordingly based on Section 9.4 of [RFC3588]. The test can overlap with Section 3.1.1.3 and Section 3.1.1.5. Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 4.2. Diameter Credit Control Test Suite Vendors that support the Diameter Credit Control application must conform to [RFC4006]. The typical test topology for credit control authorization is shown in Figure 4. A user typically requests a service and thereby triggers the CC Client to contact the CC Server requesting the CC Server to verify the user's credit standing prior to service delivery. Since the test cases cover only CC Client and CC Server interoperability, it is left to the tester to verify correctness of the authentication method executed between the user and the AAA server that is used as a pre-requisite for the authorization of the user by the CC server. Additionally, the interaction between the User's host and the CC Client that is used to trigger the interaction between the CC client and the CC Server is outside the scope of this document. +--------+ +-----------+ +------------+ | User |<--->| CC Client |<--->| AAA Server | +--------+ +-----^-----+ +-----^------+ | | | | | +-----V-----+ +---------->| CC Server | +-----------+ Legend: User - Simulated end user CC Client - Vendor A Diam CCA client CC Server - Vendor B Diam CCA server Figure 4: Diameter CC Test Topology A second test topology can exist for testing Diameter/RADIUS translation agent as specified in Section 11 of [RFC4006]. This topology is available for vendors implementing a prepaid RADIUS translation agent. Since the test cases cover interoperability scenarios, validation must be done between the Service Element and the AAA Server/CC Client translation agent.

For the purpose of Diameter SIP, each test nodes exercises only a specific set of functionality depending on their role in the SIP architecture. Since this SIP architecture is synonymous to Diameter Cx [TS29.228], the scenarios enumerated in this section applies there as well. Therefore, there can be a multitude of deployment scenarios. The test topology follows the general architecture in Figure 1 of [I-D.ietf-aaa-diameter-sip-app] in order to exercise the majority of Diameter SIP features. For testing Diameter Cx, the mapping of the test entities against this figure is described in Section 4.4.1. Configuration of SIP user agents and SIP servers in all test cases are implementation specific and it is left to the tester to verify their correctness. +--------+ UAR/UAA +--->|Diameter|<----+ PPR/PPA LIR/LIA | | server | | MAR/MAA MAR/MAA | |Vendor B| | SAR/SAA | +--------+ | RTR/RTA | | (realmB) | | (realmA) v v +------+ SIP +--------+ SIP +--------+ SIP +------+ | SIP |<--------->| SIP |<-------->| SIP |<--------->| SIP | | UA1 | |server 1| |server 2| | UA2 | +------+ |Vendor A| |Vendor D| +------+ +--------+ +--------+ Caller=user1@realmB ^ ^ Callee:user2@reamlA | | UAR/UAA | | LIR/LIA | | MAR/MAA | +--------+ | SAR/SAA +--->|Diameter|<----+ | SL | |Vendor C| +--------+ Legend: SIP UA's - SIP User Agents making/receiving calls SIP server 1 - Vendor A acting as SIP proxy for reamlA Diameter server - Vendor B acting as SIP auth server Diameter SL - Vendor C acting as location server SIP server 2 - Vendor D acting as SIP proxy for realmB Figure 6: Diameter SIP Test Topology Fajardo, et al.

The presence of SIP and/or SIPS URI for user2@realmA in vendor B can be done via SIP registration in Section 4.3.1.1 or some other means. The test scenarios below assumes vendor D is the allocated/assigned SIP server for user2@realmA. o Positive test for location query using Diameter server. Vendor B is pre-provision in vendor A as location server. for realmA. Verify that a call (SIP INVITE) from UA1 to user2@realmA triggers vendor A to send an LIR towards vendor B. Verify that vendor B forwards the INVITE to vendor D upon receipt of LIA. o Positive test for location query using Diameter SL. Vendor C is pre-provisioned in vendor A as the location server. Verify that the INVITE from UA1 to user2@realmA triggers vendor A to send an LIR towards vendor C. Verify LIA redirection from vendor C causes an LIR to be forwarded to vendor B. o Negative test for failed authorization. Verify the behavior of vendor B and D when the criteria for the following errors are meet. * DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_UNKNOWN. Simulation may require mis- configuration. * DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY. Simulation may require mis- configuration. * DIAMETER_ERROR_IDENTITY_NOT_REGISTERED. 4.3.1.5. Soft Termination Implementations must conform to Section 6.9 of [I-D.ietf-aaa- diameter-sip-app] and 6.5.2.2 of [TS29.228]. These test should be performed as a consequence of Section 4.3.1.1. In the enumerated test scenarios, vendor A request removal of user bindings in vendor B. This maybe a consequence of user1@reamlB logging off on UA1 (Section 10.2.2 in [RFC3261]) or an expiration of usage timer in vendor B. It is left to the implementation to configure such scenario. o Positive test for soft termination when session is stateless and Diameter client initiates termination. Verify that at the least, vendor D can send a SAR to vendor B when user1@realmB de- registers. Note the appropriate result-codes are enumerated in Section 6.9 of [I-D.ietf-aaa-diameter-sip-app]. This scenario is Fajardo, et al.

Verify that at the least, vendor B can send an RTR to vendor D to AOR(s) for user1@realmB. Testers can also simulate multiple AORs for the user and verify that RTR can selectively remove specific AORs. It is left to the testers to simulate a SIP-deregistration-reason from the Diameter server. This scenario is synonymous to Figure 10. o Positive test for soft termination when session is stateful and Diameter client initiates termination. Verify that at the least, vendor D can send an STR to vendor B when user1@realmB de- registers. o Positive test for soft termination when session is stateful and Diameter server initiates termination. Verify that at the least, vendor B can send an ASR to vendor B. It is left to the testers to simulate session termination on the Diameter server, i.e., session-timeout or registration timeout. 4.4. 3GPP Interface Test Suite The test suite in this section only covers the following IMS interfaces. Future revisions will attempt to cover the remaining interfaces. o Diameter Cx, [TS29.228] and [TS29.229]. o Diameter Sh, [TS29.328] and [TS29.329]. o Diameter Rf, [TS32.260]. Because of the complexity in IMS deployment, a lot of assumptions have been made in terms of the test topology. Since recreating an IMS network is not realistic, only entities implementing Diameter applications will be involved in these test cases. Peripheral entities that instigate a test event should be simulated. 4.4.1. Diameter Cx Implementations must conform to [TS29.228] and [TS29.229]. Since Diameter Cx describes the same application as Diameter SIP, the test topology and scenarios in Section 4.3 is applicable. For brevity, this section will only provide addendums to the existing test suites in Section 4.3 as it applies to Diameter Cx. Authentication schemes present in the SIP tests may or may not be present for Cx testing. The topology in Figure 6 will be used with the following mappings. Fajardo, et al.

The SIP proxy P-CSCF may or may not be present for testing the Cx interface. If it is not available, tests for registration and de-registration described in Section A.4.2 and A.4.3 of [TS29.228] can use UA1 to simulate a P-CSCF. S-CSCF functions that rely on other entities such as AS may also be simulated when service initiated test needs to be performed. An AS maybe present to facilitate this though it is left up to the implementation to provide an AS and verify its configuration. 4.4.1.1. Required The following are addendums to Section 4.3 for testing Diameter Cx. o Positive test for de-registration initiated by S-CSCF. Verify that a de-registration initiated by S-CSCF (vendor C) triggers the removal of server assignments in vendor B. Verify SAR/SAA exchange occurs. Message flow can be as follows. Fajardo, et al.

Testers can verify if vendor A correctly determine vendor D as the assigned SIP server. Additional service control functions may also need to be performed by vendor D. Though those would be out of scope of this document. 4.4.2. Diameter Sh Implementations must conform to [TS29.328] and [TS29.329]. The test topology for Diameter Sh is Figure 14. Because AS functionality is implementation and service specific, it is left to the testers to verify configuration of the provided service. UA registration with AS services are also left up to the tester to verify. Some interaction with the test topology for Section 4.4.1 maybe required in certain test scenarios.

It is left to the testers to verify that the AS is properly configured in the IMS network. Fajardo, et al.

Verify that vendor E is capable of storing and retrieving service related data into vendor B via PUR/PUA and UDR/UDA. If user1 in UA1 can register for service to the vendor E, verify that vendor E is able to store service related data into vendor B. If user1 can then register to vendor D in the IMS network and trigger a third-party registration to vendor E, verify that vendor E is able pull service related data from vendor B. Verify correctness of the following identity- set when reading data from vendor B. * IMPLICIT_IDENTITIES * REGISTERED_IDENTITIES * ALL_IDENTITIES o Positive test for subscription/notification. Implementations must conform to Section 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 of [TS29.328]. Verify that vendor E can successfully subscribe to notification in case of data changes in vendor B. This test should be performed after the previous positive test. Simulation of data changes in vendor B is implementation specific. Verify that vendor B sends a PNR to E when simulated changes occur. o Negative test for data update. Verify behavior of both vendor B and E when the criteria for following experimental result codes are meet. * DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_DATA_CANNOT_BE_MODIFIED. Simulate update restrictions for vendor E in vendor B. * DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_UNKNOWN. * DIAMETER_ERROR_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED. Simulate restrictions on vendor B.

Simulate read restrictions for vendor E in vendor B. * DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_UNKNOWN. * DIAMETER_ERROR_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED. Simulate restrictions on vendor B. Configuration of AS permission list maybe necessary. 4.4.3. Diameter Rf Implementations must conform to [TS32.260]. The test topology for Diameter Rf is Figure 15. The test cases in this section do not attempt to cover all accounting scenarios that are possible in an IMS network. It only exercise accounting functions for test entities listed in Figure 11. Because the test topology only describes a home network, the Rf interface is limited to S-CSCF and I-CSCF accounting. Record co-relation with a visited network is assumed not to be done. The CDF entity should be reachable to the SIP servers in Figure 6 and to the AS in Figure 14 if an AS is used. The test scenarios also makes a lot of assumptions in testing non-Diameter related Rf requirements such as the CDR formats, operator configuration of the CDF, SIP based signaling or operator based decision on when to use offline-charging etc. Since there can be a multitude of configuration options, verification of actual billing schemes used and its accuracy is left to the testers. For the purpose of Diameter interoperability, the test scenarios in Section 4.1.1.2 applies here as well.

Verify that vendor A or D generates a START_RECORD on positive acknowledgment of SIP INVITE. The SIP server involved depends on the UA location. The test could be performed as part of Section 4.3.1.3. Note that only the mandatory triggers are recommended to be tested. The remaining triggers specified in Table 5.2.1.1 of [TS32.260] is left up to the test pairs. o Positive test for SIP session updates. Implementations must conform to Table 5.2.1.1 of [TS32.260]. Verify that vendor A or D generates an INTERIM_RECORD on a SIP re-INVITE or UPDATE for an existing SIP session.

Note that details of the tests are skipped for brevity. o Positive test for multi-party call. Assuming a new UA is introduced in the home network and S-CSCF is provided by vendor D, Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 40] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 the call flow should follow Section 5.2.2.1.10 of [TS32.260]. o Positive test for AS related procedures. If an AS is used, verify that vendor E can generate EVENT_RECORDs for services rendered to the UA. Such services are implementation specific. However, examples of such service is described in Section 5.2.2.1.11 of [TS32.260]. 4.5. Diameter EAP Test Suite Access device and AAA servers that support Diameter EAP Application must conform to [RFC4072]. A typical test for network access authentication using Diameter EAP is shown in Figure 16. The User has an EAP Client to be authenticated for network access. The test cases only cover the NAS and Auth. Servers interoperability. To perform these tests, one must choose an EAP method. It is recommended to use an authentication method which derive keying material to test key transport between Auth. Server and NAS. As an example, EAP-TLS [RFC2716] can be used. +--------+ +--------+ +---------------+ | User |<--->| NAS |<--->| Auth Server 1 | | | |Vendor A| | Vendor B | +--------+ +--------+ +---------------+ ^ | | v +---------------+ | Auth Server 2 | | Vendor C | +---------------+ Legend: User NAS - Vendor A Diam EAP client Auth Server 1 - Vendor B Diam EAP server Auth Server 2 - Vendor C Diam EAP server Figure 16: Diameter EAP 4.5.1.

Verify that the Auth. server initiates an EAP session while receiving either a DER containing an EAP-Payload AVP Empty (signifying an EAP-Start) or an EAP- Payload AVP containing an EAP-Response of Type Identity (cf. section 2.2 of [RFC4072]). o Positive test for User-Name AVP. Verify that the User-Name AVP sent in DER message by the NAS contains the value provided by the User in the EAP exchange between User and NAS. o Positive test for user registration. Verify that the Auth. server 1 can authenticate and authorize User given a proper configuration (e.g. by using EAP-TLS method between the User and the Auth. Server). Verify that the AAA message flows is correct (cf. section 2.2 of [RFC4072]). o Positive test for Key transport and configuration. If the EAP authentication method derives keys, verify that the Auth. Server correctly provide keying material to the NAS and that these keys are correctly used between User and NAS. o Positive test for session termination: User Disconnection. Verify that if the User disconnects for the NAS, the NAS sends a STR message to the Auth. Server. Verify that the Auth.

Server 2 belongs to realmB while NAS and Auth. Server 1 belongs to realm A. All tests described in the Non-Roaming scenario must work. As we are in roaming scenario, Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 42] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 the following two tests should also be performed. o Positive test for Diameter EAP Direct Routing. Verify that if NAS is properly configured, it can directly send Diameter EAP messages to Auth. Server 2. o Positive test for Diameter EAP Proxy Routing. Verify that if NAS and Auth. Servers are correctly configured, Diameter EAP messages are exchanged between NAS and Auth. Server 2 through Auth. Server 1. 4.5.2. Optional o Positive test for Authorization AVPs. Verify that if some authorizations are requested, the DEA containing the DIAMETER_SUCCESS in the Result-Code AVP also contains appropriate Authorization AVPs (cf. section 5 of [RFC4005]). o Positive test for Accounting. Verify that NAS initiates Accounting if authentication is successful and finishes it while terminating the session. o Positive test for re-authentication. Verify that the Auth. Server can reauthenticate the User via the NAS. o Positive test for Redirection. Verify that the Redirect Scenario described in section 2.3.2 of [RFC4072] is supported. 4.6. Diameter NASREQ Test Suite Access device that supports Diameter NASREQ extension must conform to [RFC4005]. Typical test topology for single domain authentication shown in Figure 17. Multi-domain test should use Figure 3. The User entity typically employs PPP to access the NAS and is normally implementation dependent. Since the test cases covers only NAS and Auth Server interoperability, it is left to the tester to verify correctness of the access method between User and NAS and that this method is able to trigger creation of a NASREQ client session in the NAS.

Since the test cases covers interoperability scenarios, validation must be done between NAS and Gateway. As with Figure 17, it is left to the tester to verify correctness of the access method between User and NAS. The test cases involving Figure 17 is also relevant to validating Gateway and Auth Server and should be used in this topology as well. +--------+ +--------+ +---------+ +-------------+ | User |<--->| NAS |<--->| Gateway |<--->| Auth Server | | | | | |Vendor A | | Vendor B | +--------+ +--------+ +---------+ +-------------+ Legend: User - Simulated user NAS - Simulated or vendor RADIUS client Gateway - Vendor A Diameter/RADIUS gateway Auth Sever - Vendor B Diam NASREQ server Figure 18: Translation Gateway Test Topology 4.6.1. Required 4.6.1.1. Auth Session Implementations must conform to Section 2 of [RFC4005]. Test topology Figure 17 can be used for these cases. These tests typically involves a myriad of configuration options. At the least an implementation must be able to grant access to a user with a reasonable level of security given the test cases below. The minimum test that should be performed is PPP CHAP and PPP EAP with MD5 method. These tests are heavily dependent on other parameters that are implementation specific (username, password, medium type, Fajardo, et al. Expires August 28, 2006 [Page 44] Internet-Draft Diameter Interoperability Test Suite February 2006 calling-station-id etc). It is left to the tester to verify correctness of this process but it must conform to Section 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2 of [RFC4005]. This includes conformance to the use of transport level security (TLS or IPsec) for signaling sensitive information, i.e., passwords etc. This test is also an overlap with Section 4.1.1.1.1. Verification of test cases can be done manually. o Positive test for proper Auth server session establishment with authorization and authentication. Verify that user can initiate an access-request via vendor A and that vendor B can respond when PPP negotiation begins. Vendor A and B can agree on the service- type. Verify that at the least B can support auth-request-type AUTHORIZE_AUTHENTICATE. o Positive test for proper NAS session establishment with authorization and authentication.

Verify that a NAS can initiate termination upon user disconnection. Verify that the auth server can abort a session. Must conform to Section 2.3 of [RFC4005]. Test can overlap with Section 4.1.1.1.1. o Positive test for installation of NAS-filter-rules. Filter rule implementation should at least carry the form IPFilterType as specified in Section 4.3 of [RFC3588]. Verify that the rules sent by the auth server is installed properly in the NAS for the specific user. Note that implementation extensions done to the NAS-filter-rule can affect interoperability between peers. If commonality or agreements among implementations regarding the definition of NAS-filter-rule can be found and it deviates from the specification, it should be duly noted and used as a basis for specifying future NAS-filter-rule extensions. o Negative test for session failure when service type is unsupported. Verify that the auth server can terminate the session with DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_VALUE for an unsupported service type. Fajardo, et al.

Test topology Figure 18 can be used for these cases. Validation of these tests maybe localized to the Gateway (vendor A) but for the purpose of interoperability, end-to-end authentication and/or authorization must succeed between User and Auth Server (vendor B). o Positive test for forwarding RADIUS request as Diameter request. Verify that Section 9.1 of [RFC4005] is followed and that transaction states are maintained by the Gateway on behalf of the RADIUS client. o Positive test for forwarding RADIUS response from Diameter responses. Verify that Section 9.1 of [RFC4005] is followed and the session generated from the original RADIUS request is maintained. o Negative test for terminating a Diameter session upon auth failure. Conditions for termination is specified in Section 9.1 of [RFC4005]. 4.6.1.3. Multi-domain Scenario Test cases in this section is synonymous to Section 4.6.1.1 and all requirements in that section apply here as well. These scenarios, however, uses Figure 3 instead. Vendor A1 can acts as the NAS and B1 or B2 can act as the auth server. A2 or B1 can act as either a proxy/agent or redirect agent for A1. As with Section 3.1.2, these tests are symmetric to both vendors. o Positive test for multi-domain auth using proxy/relay agent. Verify that A2 acting as a proxy/relay can reliably forward auth- request and answers between A1 and B2. All test cases enumerated in Section 4.6.1.1 must be performed. Note that this test cases overlap with Section 3.1.3 and must conform to all requirements of those test. o Positive test for multi-domain auth using redirect agent. Verify that A2 or B1 acting as a redirect can successfully respond with redirect information to A1. All test cases enumerated in Section 4.6.1.1 must be performed.

Behavior maybe dependent on implementation and policy however auth-lifetime and auth-grace- period must be utilized. Must conform to 8.3 of [RFC3588]. Test can overlap with Section 4.1.1.1.1. 4.7. Diameter MIP Test Suite Vendors that support Diameter Mobile IPv4 extension must conform to [RFC4004]. There are typically several topologies that is possible when deploying Diameter MIP. Those which are more likely to be deployed are included in this document. The test cases are also highly dependent on the topologies themselves hence each test case provides its own test topology. Configuration of the mobility agents (Mobile, HA and FA) for all test cases are implementation specific and it is left up to the tester to verify their correctness. Testers must also verify that the MIP implementation conforms to Section 4 of [RFC4004] as it relates to Diameter. Testers must also ensure that all positive test resulting in successful authentication and/or authorization must generate appropriate session keys and MSAs as needed. It should conform to [RFC3957] and [RFC3012] as it applies. This is implementation and policy dependent but can be as a consequence of positive test cases so it is worthwhile to verify. 4.7.1. Generic MIP Test Scenarios The following are generic test scenarios that can be applied to any MIP test topology. It is enumerated here for simplicity since it is common to all topology. o Positive test for mobile registration.

Verify that the AAA message flows for the specific topology is followed. Verify that proper key distribution occurs in the process. If accounting is supported, verify that accounting-sub-session-id is used. This test can overlap with Section 4.1.1.2.1. o Positive test for session termination. Verify that the expiration of auth-lifetime causes an STR to be sent from the HA and that the message flows are valid. Verify that the AAAH releases all session state it keeps if any. The AAAH must conform to Section 4.1.3 of [RFC4004]. o Positive test for re-authentication. Verify that the Mobile can successfully performs re-authentication if policy allows. Verify that the AMR sent by the FA or Mobile on re-auth and carries the original session-id, HA NAI and AAAH NAI as appropriate. Implementations must conform to [RFC3846]. o Negative test for failed registration or authentication. Verify that a failed authentication or registration causes an STR to be sent from the HA and that DIAMETER_AUTHENTICATION_REJECTED result- code is communicated back to the FA or Mobile in the AMA. Verify that the AAAH releases all session state it keeps if any. AAAH must conform to Section 4.1.3 of [RFC4004]. 4.7.2. Required 4.7.2.1.

Verifying the correctness of the Mobile to HA registration is out of scope for this document is left to the tester. However, it must conform to [RFC3344] and its successor document. Note also that there is a myriad of configuration options for this test case and it is left to the test pairs to agree on which and on how many configuration can and should be tested. Fajardo, et al.

Verify that DIAMETER_ERROR_HA_NOT_AVAILABLE is sent by vendor B to vendor A. Verify that the B releases all session state it keeps if any. Vendor B must conform to Section 4.1.3 of [RFC4004]. 4.7.2.3. Inter-Domain Registration Implementation must conform to Section 3.1 of [RFC4004]. The basic test topology for inter-domain registration is shown below in Figure 21. A1 and A2 reside in realmA and B1 and B2 reside in realmB. The entities in the topology can be a combination of different vendor implementations. Verifying the correctness of the Mobile to FA discovery and registration is implementation specific and out of scope of this document. It is left to the tester to validate this process but it must conform to requirements [RFC3344] and its successor document. As with previous test cases in Diameter MIP, there is a myriad of configuration options for this test case and it is left to the test pairs to agree on which and on how many configuration can and should be tested. However, testers must verify that the AAA message flows in Figure 21 are followed for the registration process regardless of configuration. Fajardo, et al.

The following are optional test cases that can be performed for Diameter MIP. 4.7.3.1. Co-located Registration An addendum to the topology shown in Figure 21 is shown in Figure 23. The redirect agent is introduced if additional transport security is required between HA and AAAH in the co-located scenario as described in Section 3.3 of [RFC4004]. Optional IPsec or TLS connectivity can be established between HA and AAAH. For simplicity Figure 23 differs from Figure 8 of [RFC4004] by not having an AAA proxy but relying on the redirect agent directly. +----------+ | Redirect | | Vendor B1| +----------+ | | +--------+ +--------+ +-------------+ | Mobile |<--->| HA |<--->| AAAH | | | |Vendor A| | Vendor B2 | +--------+ +--------+ +-------------+ Legend: Mobile - Mobile is IPv4 mobile node HA - Vendor A as a MIP Home Agent Redirect - Vendor B1 redirect agent AAAH - Vendor B2 as a Home AAA server Figure 23: Test Topology for Co-located Mobile Node with Redirect o Positive test for mobile registration. Verify that redirection occurs between HA and Redirect agent. Verify that a secure transport is established between HA and AAAH. Verify that at the least, vendor B2 can authenticate and authorized the Mobile given the proper configuration. This test can overlap with Section 4.1.1.2.1 and Section 3.1.2.2. o Verify that the all test cases in Section 4.7.2.1 is be applied in this test case as well. This test case is an overlap with Section 3.1.3.1 and requirements in that section applies here. Fajardo, et al.

Inter-Domain Registration with Redirect An addendum to the topology shown in Figure 21 is shown in Figure 24. The redirect agent B3 is introduced if additional transport security is required and the use of an AAAF can be skipped. In this topology B3 shares the same realm a B1 and B2. Optional IPsec or TLS connectivity can be established between A1 and B2 as describe in Figure 3 of [RFC4004]. However, the secure connectivity can be omitted to simplify testing. +---------+ |Redirect | |Vendor B3| +---------+ / realmA (visited) / realmB (home) +---------+ +---------+ | AAAF | AMR/AMA | AAAH | |Vendor A2| -------|Vendor B2| +---------+ / +---------+ ^ / ^ AMR/AMA | / | HAR/HAA v / v +---------+ / +---------+ | FA | | HA | |Vendor A1| |Vendor B1| +---------+ +---------+ ^ | Mobile IP v +---------+ | Mobile | mn@realmB.com +---------+ Legend: Mobile - Mobile is IPv4 mobile node FA - Vendor A1 as a MIP Foreign Agent AAAF - Vendor A2 as a Foreign AAA server AAAH - Vendor B2 as a Home AAA server HA - Vendor B1 as a MIP Home Agent Redirect - Vendor B3 as a Redirect agent in reamlA Figure 24: Test Topology for Inter-Domain MIP with Redirect o Positive test for mobile registration.

If [RFC3846] is supported, MIP NAIs should be used to route the message towards the HA. This test can overlap with Section 4.1.1.2.1 and Section 3.1.2.2. o Positive test for handover. Verify that if Mobile performs a handover to B1 that de-registration occurs properly and subsequent AMR/AMA exchanges are appropriate. Verify also that the accounting session is maintained if any. o Verify that the all test cases in Section 4.7.2.3 is be applied in this test case as well. This test case is an overlap with Section 3.1.3.1 and requirements in that section applies here. 4.7.3.3. Inter-Domain Registration with Proxy/Relay An addendum to the topology shown in Figure 21 is shown in Figure 25. The proxy/relay agent B3 exists between A2 and B2. In this topology B3 shares the same realm as B1 and B2. Fajardo, et al.
