GL Conveys the Availability of Scripted SIP Protocol Emulation and Conformance Suite

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) May 12, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its product MAPS SIP Protocol Emulator Scripted SIP Protocol Emulation and SIP Conformance Suite tool.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager said, GL’s Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS) designed for SIP testing can simulate User Agents (User Agent Client- UAC, User Agent Server-UAS), Proxy, Redirect, Registrar and Registrant servers. This test tool/traffic generator can be used to simulate any interface in a SIP network and perform protocol conformance testing (SIP protocol implementations).

He added, The MAPS SIP Conformance Suite tool is designed with 300+ test cases, as per SIP specification of ETSI TS 102-027-2 v4.1.1 (2006-07) standard. Test cases include general messaging and call flow scenarios for multimedia call session setup and control over IP networks. Logging and pass/fail results are also reported. Test cases verify conformance of actions such as registration, call control, proxies and redirect servers. The application gives the users the unlimited ability to edit SIP messages and control scenarios (message sequences). “Message sequences” are generated through scripts. “Messages” are created using message templates.

He further added, MAPS can be used to simulate any interface of the VoIP network. A single MAPS can act as more than one SIP entity at a time and can generate any SIP message on wire in VoIP network and hence equipments needed to test are reduced.

Mr. Vadalia further added, GL also provides a Packet Analyzer for on-line capture and decode of the SIP signaling in real-time both during tests and as a stand-alone tracer for live systems

GL Announces MC-MLPPP Conformance Tester

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) October 30, 2012

Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA – October 29, 2012- GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of its latest MC-MLPPP Conformance Tester software.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager for product development of the company said, GLs MAPS (Message Automation and Protocol Simulation) platform is a general purpose Protocol Emulator for various protocols encountered in the telecom space. MC-MLPPP is one such advanced protocol simulator/tester for Multi Class, Multi Link, PPP protocols over TDM (T1 E1). The tester can simulate a complete PPP or MLPPP link between two peers, with MLPPP signaling conforming to IETF specifications.

He added, MAPS MLPPP supports testing network elements, error tracking, regression testing, conformance testing, and load testing/call generation. The test tool can run pre-defined test scenarios against MLPPP test objects in a controlled & deterministic manner. The test tool also incorporates the flexibility to modify call parameters & message contents (arbitrary manipulation of messages, information elements and message sequence on the different protocols).

Mr. Vadalia further added, MAPS MLPPP conformance scripts are suitable for conformance tests and functional tests, where test objects can be accurately, reliably and comfortably validated for compliance with IETF standard. It is suitable for manufacturers, network operators and service providers to address all stages of the development cycle, regression testing through to type approval, acceptance testing.

Main Features:

Performs MC-MLPPP as well as PPP simulation over TDM (T1/E1)

Supports LCP with the following negotiation options.

PPP options: MRU (Maximum Receive Unit), ACFC (Address and Control Field Compression),

PFC (Protocol Field Compression), and Magic Number.
