Hi David,
TTCN-3 as a language is totally generic, universal and agnostic to the nature of the System Under Test; Titan tries to maintain this as much as possible.
Some years ago we have experimented with testing OSPF with TTCN-3/Titan and also with compiling Titan on a router directly for white-box testing of the router software ( of curse the condition for this is the router runs a Linux derivative as OS, but this is often satisfied).
As requirements were more heavily expressed in other areas , we have abandoned this line , but I see no reason why Titan and TTCN-3 could not be used for router testing,
assuming one creates the appropriate protocol modules and test ports.
Best regards
Elemer

Hi David,
not directly, but certainly you can take inspiration from it.
In broad terms the quoted protocol module was written with the intention of bypassing the TCP/UDP layer of the IP stack offered by the OS;
as such it receives/sends ethernet frames on the southbound interface and receives/sends TCP or UDP messages on the northbound interface.
It also handles ARP , that is translation between MAc and IP addresses.
We don't have ready, off the shelf protocol modules for L2 bridging or L3 routing functionality.
Best regards
Elemer

Hi , David,
I'm sorry ; the code has been lost during years of migrations;
however it should not be more than a couple of days' work with RAW encoding.
Best regards
Elemer

Hi Elemer,
If I were to send a ICMP Echo to the OSPF router, the TTCN-3 structure representing an OSPF packet and test port would be as followed.
would I need to create a similar protocol packet and test ports for BGP ?
Regards - David
type record OSPFPacketType
{
UInt8 Version,
UInt8 Type,
UInt16 PacketLength,
UInt32 RouterID,
UInt32 AreaID,
UInt16 Checksum,
UInt8 InstanceID,
UInt8 Reserved,
octetstring PacketBody
};
// A port type used for communicating with an OSPF router
type port OSPFPort message
{
inout OSPFPacketType;
}

Hi David,
first , some architectural advice:
it's always a good idea to separate the different protocol stacks:
-you will need at least two such stacks: an ICMP/IP/L2 and an OSPF/IP/L2; this means you will need two PTC's , one implementing ICMP behaviour , with an icmp port translated to LANL2,
and one implementing OSPF behaviour, with an ospf port translated to LANL2;
-for the first you can use the already available ICMP and IP protocol modules and the LANL2 test port
-for the second you will have to write an OSPF protocol module (with RAW codec instructions) , plus use the existing IP PM, and LANL2 test port
If you want to add BGP, you need to implement BGP types ( with RAW) and add a third protocol stack/component similar with the above
You should preferably use types declared in titan.ProtocolModules.COMMON/src/General_Types.ttcn
already decorated with RAW attributes.
The MTC can be used to orchestrate the behaviour of the two(three) components wia internal test ports.
I hope this helps.

Hi Elemer,
While running test cases define in A.cfg, we had also to include test cases from B.cfg in [MODULE_PARAMETERS], otherwise we have a dynamic error.
Is it possible to run test case define in A.cfg without including B.cfg test cases in [MODULE_PARAMETERS] ......As of today, we put both A.cfg and B.cfg test cases in each pertaining [MODULE_PARAMETERS] to avoid dynamic error
when we run the command: ttcn3_start ./l2 ..../CONFIG/ICMP2ETH_n+1.cfg
Regards - David

Hi David,
it would be easier to answer your question if I could see what's in your code and config;
however the answer is: yes, it is possible, you need to look at the logs and understand the role of the included parameters.
A generic advice:
Try to run the test cases one by one separately; every test case should work stand-alone, there should be no interference between test cases.
If it is , than that is wrong.
You should separate the test cases from each other; that usually requires a preamble to establish a certain state of the SUT (e.g. login) and a postamble
to take the SUT to a default state (e.g. logout)
I hope this helps
