Hello Anjlica,

Can you send on the list:
- The command line you are using to start Seagull
- The XML scenario and config file that are listed in the command line

Thanks,
Olivier.

Re: [Seagull-users] How to enable SCTP support

[Jacques, O. \(O. T. Infra\) <oli...@hp...>]

Hi,
=20
You are right, sctp support is not included in Seagull yet.=20
SCTP support in Seagull relies on sctplib
(http://www.sctp.de/sctp-download.html).=20
But we didn't checked some files in SVN and this prevents Seagull to use
SCTP right now.
It is just a matter of days so please be patient.

	I hope to use seagull to do SCTP test. the document said I have

Re: [Seagull-users] How to enable SCTP support

[Anjlica M. XX (TX/EUS) <anj...@er...>]

Have u done a search for this file on your machine?
I had to specify the whole path to in the config file:
/home/userid/seagull.1.3.0/build-1.3.0/libtrans_ip.so
 
In fact I had to specify full paths for seagull as well.
 
good luck.

Re: [Seagull-users] Diameter protocol support (and thanks)

[Anjlica M. XX (TX/EUS) <anj...@er...>]

Hi,
Is there a URL to check if there is existing FAQ for trouble getting the Diameter protocol started?

My issue:
I am testing a Diameter server. So I am using Seagull to simulate the Diameter client.
I edited the scenario .xml and config.xml to specify my host IP and Diameter Realm.  When I start the client, I get an error:
2006-06-16.16:48:19.778|T|Error while sending [[CER

I see that its still sending the AVP values that were in the file by default. Its not taking the values that I entered in the .xml file.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, example scenarios are kind of simplistic. We are also aware that
Diameter base and Cx dictionaries are missing commands and AVPs (and
some might just need a bit of refresh).

It would be great! There are two cases:
If this is a new file, just send it to the Seagull-users mailing list.
If this is a set of corrections to existing files (or if you have
several files to provide), do:
diff -bruN seagull.orig seagull.new > mycontrib.diff

And send the resulting mycontrib.diff

Thanks Perrin,
Olivier.

[Seagull-users] Diameter protocol support (and thanks)

[Perrin M. <pe...@op...>]

Hi,

First off I'd like to say thanks to those involved in making this 
software available to the community.

I have spent a bit of time experimenting with the Diameter protocol 
generator, and started doing some testing against our Diameter stack and 
simulators.  (There have been no interoperability issues so far.)

During my testing, I found a few problems with the configuration files 
for the Diameter applications.  So I adapted one of our tools to 
generate the dictionary files for the applications we support (using the 
same data we use for our code generation).  I've also been extending 
some of the scenarios to be a bit more representative.

If it would be useful, I can share these changes -- what's the best way 
to do so?

Regards
Perrin

Re: [Seagull-users] Diameter compliance to IETF diameter draft 8

[Olivier J. <oja...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just commited a Diameter-Draft-08 dictionary [Revision 24].
You can get a fresh copy of Seagull's source code by running:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gull/seagull/trunk/src
seagull.src.svn

Note that I didn't tested it.

That will be best as I won't have time to run tests.

Yes. It is under GPL license and free. There is no feature nor usage
limitation.

Mixing a traffic (several call scenarios) will require to start
several Seagulls in parallel. Which is not really an issue.

Judge by yourself. Here is a screenshot with 21000 calls opened
simultaneously, Seagull having placed more than a million call at 450
call/s (not Diameter protocol - but the core is the same):
http://gull.sourceforge.net/doc/faq.html#faq005

I would recommend that you try Seagull and judge by yourself.

Hi,

Seagull describes Diameter commands and AVPs using an XML file. Here
is the XML file for RFC 3588 and Cx application:
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/gull/seagull/trunk/src/exe-env/diameter-env/config/base_cx.xml?content-type=text%2Fplain

Although I didn't looked at it in details, supporting draft-08
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-08.txt) is most
likely a matter of minutes, by changing XML dictionary. Unless there
are important protocol format changes (in Seagull, even headers can
change without impacting anything but the dictionary).

We'll try to make this draft-08 dictionary as an example (without
having a mean to test).

Olivier.

Hi,
Is the Diameter simulator compliant with IETF diameter draft 8 or does it support only RFC 3588?

    Hello Louis
in fact you need to install the package pdksh (Public Domain KSH)
located in category shell of the cygwin installer.
