1 Scope
The present document specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for the IPv4 to IPv6 transitioning functions of the
Internet Protocol, as defined in the specifications [11] through to [14]. The ATS is based on the requirements defined in
the IPv6 requirements catalogue (TS 102 599 [2]) and theIPv6 test purposes (TS 102 518 [3]) and written according to
the guidelines of TS 102 514 [1], ISO/IEC 9646-2 [5] and ETS 300 406 [9].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for IPv6 equipment giving a high
probability of inter-operability between different manufacturer's IPv6 equipments.
Annex A provides the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN-3) part of the ATS.
Annex B provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the ATS.
Annex C provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the ATS.
NOTE: Annex B provides only the PIXIT items relevant for the IPv4 to IPv6 transitioning functions. It is
therefore necessary to also fill the core PIIXT item in TS 102 516 [15] to gain all PIXIT values needed to
run the mobility test campaign.

This clause describes the ATM used to test the IPv4 to IPv6 transitioning functions as defined in the RFC specifications
[11] through to [14]. The three following configurations have been developed to test the different types of IUT,
6to4-Nodes, 6to4-Routers, IP6/IP4_Nodes and IPtranslators.
