The test | +| | will resolve the topology and instantiate all emulated EPC | +| | network nodes. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|step 3 | Test scenarios run, which performs the following steps: | +| | | +| | * Start the emulated EPC network nodes; | +| | * Establish the subscribers connections to EPC network | +| | (default bearers); | +| | * Establish the number of dedicated bearers as per per | +| | default bearer for each subscriber; | +| | * Create the sessions and transmit traffic through EPC | +| | network nodes during the specified traffic duration time; | +| | * Disconnect dedicated bearers; | +| | * Disconnect subscribers at the end of the test. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|step 4 | During test run, all the metrics provided by Spirent | +| | Landslide are stored in the yardstick dispatcher. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|test verdict | The test case will create the test session in Spirent | +| | Landslide with the test case parameters and store the results| +| | in the database for benchmarking purposes.
