NAME

recvNsBasic - Verifying that NUT acknowledges valid NSs


TARGET

Host and Router


SYNOPSIS

  recvNsBasic.seq [-tooloption ...] -p recvNsBasic.def


CASE I. A valid NS with SLLA

recvNsBasic verify that NUT acknowledges a valid NS w/ SLLA, then returns a valid NA.


INITIALIZATION

A CASE OF A HOST
  1. Set a global prefix (3ffe:501:ffff:100::/64) with RA.
  2. Clear NC state for TN.

  TN                   NUT
  ------------------------
  ==== unsolicited RA ===>
        src=X's link-local
        dst=NUT's link-local
        M=0, O=0
        LifeTime=600;
        ReachableTime=0;
        RetransTimer=0;
        Prefix Option:
                L=1, A=1
                ValidLifetime=2592000;
                PreferredLifetime=604800;
A CASE OF A ROUTER
  1. NUT must be configured its interface under test (Link0) to have a global prefix of "3ffe:501:ffff:100::/64".
  2. Clear NC state for TN.


TEST PROCEDURE

  TN	              NUT
  -----------------------

State: NONCE
==== NS ===> src=TN's link-local, global dst=NUT's link-local or global or solicited-node[NUT's link-local] or solicited-node[global] w/ SLL
State: INCOMPLETE
<=== Judgment #1: NA ==== src=NUT's link-local or global dst=TN's link-local or global w/ or w/o TLL

CASE II. A valid NS without SLLA

recvNsBasic verify that NUT acknowledges a valid NS w/o SLLA, then returns a valid NA.


INITIALIZATION

  Clear NC state for TN.


TEST PROCEDURE

  TN		                NUT
  ---------------------------------

State: NONCE
==== unicast NS ===> src=TN's link-local dst=NUT's link-local w/o SLL
State: INCOMPLETE

State: REACHABLE
<=== Judgment #3: solicited NA (if any) ==== src=NUT's link-local or global dst=TN's link-local R=0/1, S=1, O=0 w/ or w/o TLL


JUDGMENT


  1. Input and output
  ===============================+===================================
   NS (input)                    | NA (expected)
  -------+---------------+-------+-----------+------+-+-+-+----------
   Src   | Dst           | SLLA  | Src       | Dst  |r|s|o| TLLA

  =======+===============+=======+===========+======+=+=+=+==========
  *If NUT is a host, r-flag must be the zero.
  *If NUT is a router, r-flag is must be the one.

  2. NUT may send at the least one multicast NS.
     src=NUT's link-local, dst=solicited-node[TN's link-local], w/ SLL

  3. NUT may send a solicited NA.

3.1. NUT is a host src=NUT's link-local, dst=TN's link-local, r=0, s=1, O=0, w/ or w/o TLL
3.2. NUT is a router src=NUT's link-local, dst=TN's link-local, r=1, s=1, O=0, w/ or w/o TLL


TERMINATION

  Send RA with RouterLifetime=0 to clear the Default Router List.


NOTE

  1. The command does not invoke any remote command.


REFERENCE

RFC2461

7.2.4. Sending Solicited Neighbor Advertisements
A node sends a Neighbor Advertisement in response to a valid Neighbor Solicitation targeting one of the node's assigned addresses. The Target Address of the advertisement is copied from the Target Address of the solicitation. If the solicitation's IP Destination Address is not a multicast address, the Target Link-Layer Address option MAY be omitted; the neighboring node's cached value must already be current in order for the solicitation to have been received. If the solicitation's IP Destination Address is a multicast address, the Target Link-Layer option MUST be included in the advertisement. Furthermore, if the node is a router, it MUST set the Router flag to one; otherwise it MUST set the flag to zero.
If the Target Address is either an anycast address or a unicast address for which the node is providing proxy service, or the Target Link-Layer Address option is not included, the Override flag SHOULD be set to zero. Otherwise, the Override flag SHOULD be set to one. Proper setting of the Override flag ensures that nodes give preference to non-proxy advertisements, even when received after proxy advertisements, and also ensures that the first advertisement for an anycast address "wins".
If the source of the solicitation is the unspecified address, the node MUST set the Solicited flag to zero and multicast the advertisement to the all-nodes address. Otherwise, the node MUST set the Solicited flag to one and unicast the advertisement to the Source Address of the solicitation.
If the Target Address is an anycast address the sender SHOULD delay sending a response for a random time between 0 and MAX_ANYCAST_DELAY_TIME seconds.
Because unicast Neighbor Solicitations are not required to include a Source Link-Layer Address, it is possible that a node sending a solicited Neighbor Advertisement does not have a corresponding link- layer address for its neighbor in its Neighbor Cache. In such situations, a node will first have to use Neighbor Discovery to determine the link-layer address of its neighbor (i.e, send out a multicast Neighbor Solicitation).
