2. SIEMENS ©Michael Tüxen, ICN WN CS SEN 51 Number 2. The bake-off meeting  It must be agreed on a date and place.  Siemens could host the bake-off meeting.  Suggested time: 5th - 9th of June 2000.  Suggested place: Munich.

3. SIEMENS ©Michael Tüxen, ICN WN CS SEN 51 Number 3. What should be tested?  Bringing up and down associations with various parameter settings.  Transmission of user data.  Handling of network failures.  Transmission of user data on an IP network with transmission errors and delays.  Handling of bandwidth limitations.  Handling of attacks.  Handling of error conditions.  No stress test at the first bake off meeting.

4. SIEMENS ©Michael Tüxen, ICN WN CS SEN 51 Number 4. Test environment  Each implementation should use its own IP-network addresses.  So it gets at least two class C network address ranges.  The transmission delay and message loss should be configurable for each pair of implementations.  A list of test scenarios must be prepared.  The functionality of a SCTP test application must be defined, such that these test applications can be used for testing all scenarios.  A graphical packet tracer will be available: Ethereal (www.zing.org) will be extended to support SCTP.
