Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
1. Introduction
This document reports experience with the LOADng [LOADng] routing
protocol, as obtained by way of a number of interoperability tests
during the protocol development.
Interoperability tests between LOADng Routers implemented on the
basis of the different versions of the protocol have been undertaken
mainly to:
o Show evidence that interoperable LOADng implementations do exist.
o Clarify and improve the overall quality of the LOADng
specification.
o Demonstrate that the final LOADng internet draft can be considered
as a standalone specification allowing the development of
interoperable implementations of LOADng.
2. Terminology
This document uses the terminology of [LOADng].
3. Interoperability Scenarios
This section describes the various tests and scenarios carried out
between the implementations involved in the various interoperability
tests.
The testbed required is composed of up to five LOADng Routers,
connected according to the specific topology described for each test
scenario below. The LOADng routing protocol was run over UDP and
IPv4. Either Ethernet or 802.11 wireless network was used in the
test.
3.1. Scenario 01: 1-hop Bidirectional Route Establishment - Forward
Route and Reverse Route initial installation
For each implementation, this test aims to verify the initial
installation of a bidirectional route (Forward Route and Reverse
Route from A to B) within the LOADng Router routing tables (Routing
Sets) through the effective generation and processing of LOADng
control messages (RREQ, RREP, RREP-ACK).
3.1.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of two LOADng Routers:

Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
+-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |
| | | |
+-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in establishing a bidirectional route
between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router B.
3.1.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router B.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and sends an unicast RREP message
intended for LOADng Router A, soliciting an RREP-ACK message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router B (Forward Route from LOADng
Router A to LOADng Router B) and sends an unicast RREP-ACK message
to LOADng Router B.
A B
| RREQ |
-------------------->
| RREP |
<--------------------
| RREP-ACK |
-------------------->
| |
3.2. Scenario 02: 1-hop Bidirectional Route Establishment -Forward
Route and Reverse Route updating
For each implementation, this test aims to verify the refreshment of
a bidirectional route (Forward Route and Reverse Route from A to B)
already installed within the LOADng Router routing tables (Routing
Sets) through the effective generation and processing of LOADng
control messages (RREQ, RREP, RREP-ACK).
3.2.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of two LOADng Routers:

+-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |
| | | |
+-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in updating a bidirectional route between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router B.
3.2.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router B.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B updates the corresponding
route (Reverse Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router A)
already installed within its Routing Set and sends an unicast RREP
message intended for LOADng Router A, soliciting an RREP-ACK
message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A updates the corresponding
route (Forward Route from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router B)
already installed within its Routing Set and sends an unicast
RREP-ACK message to LOADng Router B.
A B
| RREQ |
-------------------->
| RREP |
<--------------------
| RREP-ACK |
-------------------->
| |
3.3. Scenario 03: 2-hop bidirectional route establishment - Forward
Route and Reverse Route initial installation
This test aims to verify the initial installation of a bidirectional
route (Forward Route and Reverse Route from A to C) within the LOADng
Router routing tables (Routing Sets) through the effective forwarding
of LOADng control traffic by LOADng Router B which is located between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router C. It is also verified that RREP-
ACK messages are not forwarded by the LOADng Routers these messages
are intended for.

Router C towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng Router
B:
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |________| C |
| | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in establishing a bidirectional route
between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router C.
3.3.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router C.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router C to LOADng Router A) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
B (Reverse route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B). The
reception of the RREQ also triggers the generation of an unicast
RREP message intended for LOADng Router A, soliciting an RREP-ACK
message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router C (Forward Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router C), sends an unicast RREP-ACK message to
LOADng Router C and forwards the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router B (Forward Route from LOADng
Router A to LOADng Router B) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
C (Forward Route from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router C). The
reception of the RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message
intended for LOADng Router B.

3.4. Scenario 04: 2-hop bidirectional route establishment - Forward
Route and Reverse Route updating
This test aims to verify the refreshment of a bidirectional route
(Forward Route and Reverse Route from A to C) already installed
within the LOADng Router routing tables (Routing Sets) through the
effective forwarding of LOADng control traffic by LOADng Router B
which is located between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router C.
3.4.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of three LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router C or LOADng
Router C towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng Router
B:

| A |________| B |________| C |
| | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in updating a bidirectional route between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router C.
3.4.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router C.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B updates the corresponding
route (Reverse Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router A)
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
already installed within its Routing Set and forwards the received
RREQ.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C updates the corresponding
routes (Reverse Routes from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router A and
from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B). The reception of the
RREQ also triggers the generation of an unicast RREP message
intended for LOADng Router A, soliciting an RREP-ACK message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router B updates the corresponding
route (Forward route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router C),
sends an unicast RREP-ACK message to LOADng Router C and forwards
the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A updates the corresponding
routes (Forward routes from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router B and
from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router C). The reception of the
RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message intended for LOADng
Router B.

3.5. Scenario 05: 2-hop bidirectional route establishment - Link
breakage handling
This test aims to verify the proper generation and processing of an
RERR message after an artificially created link breakage on an
previously established bidirectional route.
3.5.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of three LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router C or LOADng
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
Router C towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng Router
B:
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |________| C |
| | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in handling link breakages between routers.
3.5.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o A bidirectional route is already established between LOADng
Routers A and C.
o At some time, link breakage is detected by LOADng Router B.
Consequently, an unicast RERR message intended for LOADng Router A
(here the assumption is made that the unsuccessful delivered data
traffic would have been generated by LOADng Router A) is
transmitted.
Note: link breakage is provoked artificially and its detection by
LOADng Router B is triggered manually (normally, this would be
triggered by failure in sending data traffic intended for LOADng
Router C).
o Upon receiving the RERR, LOADng Router A updates its Routing Set
by invalidating the existing Forward Route from LOADng Router A to
LOADng Router C.

3.6. Scenario 06: 3-hop bidirectional route establishment - Forward
Route and Reverse Route initial installation
This test aims to verify the initial installation of a bidirectional
route (Forward Route and Reverse Route from A to D) within the LOADng
Router routing tables (Routing Sets) through the effective forwarding

Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
of LOADng control traffic by LOADng Routers B and C, which are
located between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router D. It is also
verified that RREP-ACK messages are not forwarded by the LOADng
Routers these messages are intended for.
3.6.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of four LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router D or LOADng
Router D towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng
Routers B and C:
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |________| C |________| D |
| | | | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+

The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router D.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.

LOADng Router D and forwards the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router D (Forward Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router D) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
C (Forward Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router C). An
unicast RREP-ACK message is also sent to LOADng Router C and the
RREP received previously is forwarded.

reception of the RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message
intended for LOADng Router B.

+-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in updating a bidirectional route between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router D.
3.7.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router D.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B updates the corresponding
route (Reverse Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router A)
already installed within its Routing Set and forwards the received
RREQ.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C updates the corresponding
routes (Reverse Routes from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router A and
from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B) already installed within
its Routing Set and forwards the received RREQ.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router D updates the corresponding
routes (Reverse Routes from LOADng Router D to LOADng Router A and
from LOADng Router D to LOADng Router C) already installed within
its Routing Set. The reception of the RREQ also triggers the
generation of an unicast RREP message intended for LOADng Router
A, soliciting an RREP-ACK message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router C updates the corresponding
route (Forward Route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router D),
sends an unicast RREP-ACK message to LOADng Router D and forwards
the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router B updates the corresponding
routes (Forward Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router D and
from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router C). An unicast RREP-ACK
message is also sent to LOADng Router C and the RREP received

previously is forwarded.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A updates the corresponding
routes (Forward Route from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router B and
from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router D). The reception of the
RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message intended for LOADng
Router B.

This test aims to verify the proper generation, processing and
forwarding of a RERR message after an artificially created link
breakage on an previously established bidirectional route.
3.8.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of four LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router D or LOADng
Router D towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng
Routers B and C:

This test suite consists in handling link breakages between LOADng
Routers.
3.8.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o A bidirectional route is already established between LOADng
Routers A and D.
o At some time, link breakage is detected by LOADng Router C.
Consequently, an unicast RERR message intended for LOADng Router A
(here the assumption is made that the unsuccessful delivered data
traffic would have been generated by LOADng Router A) is
transmitted to LOADng Router B according to the Reverse Route from
LOADng Router C to LOADng Router A computed previously.
Note: link breakage is provoked artificially and its detection by
LOADng Router C is triggered manually (normally, this would be
triggered by failure in sending data traffic intended for LOADng
Router D).
o Upon receiving the RERR, LOADng Router B updates its Routing Set
by invalidating the existing Forward Route from LOADng Router B to
LOADng Router D. Afterwards, the RERR message is forwarded
according to the existing Reverse Route from LOADng Router B to
LOADng Router A.
o Upon receiving the RERR, LOADng Router A updates its Routing Set
by invalidating the existing Forward Route from LOADng Router A to
LOADng Router D.

Router routing tables (Routing Sets) through the effective forwarding
of LOADng control traffic by LOADng Routers B, C and D, which are
located between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router E. It is also
verified that RREP-ACK messages are not forwarded by the LOADng
Routers these messages are intended for.
3.9.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of five LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router E or LOADng
Router E towards LOADng Router A has to be forwarded by LOADng
Routers B, C and D:

| A |______| B |______| C |______| D |______| E |
| | | | | | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This test suite consists in establishing a bidirectional route
between LOADng Router A and LOADng Router E.
3.9.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router E.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router C to LOADng Router A) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
B (Reverse route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B) and
forwards the received RREQ.

reception of the RREQ also triggers the generation of an unicast
RREP message intended for LOADng Router A, soliciting an RREP-ACK
message.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router D installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router E (Forward Route from LOADng
Router D to LOADng Router E), sends an unicast RREP-ACK message to
LOADng Router E and forwards the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router E (Forward Route from LOADng

o At some time, a link breakage to E is detected by LOADng Router D.
Consequently, an unicast RERR message intended for LOADng Router A

3.11. Scenario 11: Establishment of the best bidirectional route
This test aims to verify the processing of multiple RREQs when
installing a bidirectional route (Forward Route and Reverse Route
from A to C) within the LOADng Router routing tables (Routing Sets).
3.11.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of three LOADng Routers. Control traffic
generated by either LOADng Router A towards LOADng Router C or LOADng
Router C towards LOADng Router A can be forwarded by LOADng Router B
or transmitted via the direct link between LOADng Routers A and C:
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| A |________| B |________| C |
| | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
|_________________________________|
This test consists in establishing a bidirectional route between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router C. Hop count metric is used for
measuring differet routes.
3.11.2. Expected Message Sequencing
The expected message sequencing is as follows:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message intended for LOADng
Router C. According to RREQ transmission rules, the generated RREQ
message is transmitted to all neighbor LOADng Routers.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.
At the same time, upon receiving the same RREQ via its direct link
with LOADng Router A, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in its
Routing Set (Reverse Route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router
A). The reception of the RREQ also triggers the generation of an
unicast RREP message intended for LOADng Router A, requiring RREP-
ACK message.
o Upon receiving the same RREQ via LOADng Router B, LOADng Router C
compares the RREQ.route-metric information carried by the RREQ
with the already existing tuple within its Routing Set (Reverse
Route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router A) according to the
comparison operator specified by the metric used (the "hop count"
metric was used). Thus, the best route is chosen considering only
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
the hop count:
Already existing tuple:
<R_hop_count> = 1
Tuple corresponding to the newly received RREQ:
<R_hop_count> = 2
According to the comparison operator specified by the metric used:
1 < 2
Consequently, the newly received RREQ message is discarded without
affecting the Routing Set or triggering the generation of any RREP
message.
o Upon receiving the RREP via its direct link with LOADng Router C,
LOADng Router A installs a new tuple in its Routing Set (Forward
Route from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router C). The reception of
the RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message intended for
LOADng Router C.
A B C
| RREQ | |
--------------------> RREQ |
---------------------------------------->
| | RREQ |
| -------------------->
| | RREP |
<----------------------------------------
| | RREP-ACK |
---------------------------------------->
| | |
Note: the RREQ forwarded by LOADng Router B towards C is not
necessarily received before LOADng Router C generates the RREP
message intended for LOADng Router A. Indeed, the order in which
those messages are transmitted is dependent on the transmission
delays of each single link between LOADng Routers A, B and C.
3.12. Scenario 12: Blacklisting
This test aims to verify the effectiveness of avoiding unidirectional
links using blacklisting.
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
3.12.1. Scenario Topology
The testbed is composed of four LOADng Routers with a unidirectional
link between LOADng Routers A and D (direct communication from D
towards A is impossible).
+-------+ +-------+
| A |_________| B |
| | | |
+-------+ +-------+
| |
V |
+-------+ +-------+
| D |_________| C |
| | | |
+-------+ +-------+
This test consists in establishing a bidirectional route between
LOADng Router A and LOADng Router D.
3.12.2. Expected Message Sequencing
First attempt to establish a bidirectional route between LOADng
Routers A and D:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message (RREQ.seq-num = 0,
RREQ.originator = A) intended for LOADng Router D.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.
At the same time, upon receiving the same RREQ via its direct
(unidirectional) link with LOADng Router A, LOADng Router D
installs a new tuple in its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A
(Reverse Route from LOADng Router D to LOADng Router A). The
reception of the RREQ also triggers the generation of an unicast
RREP message intended for LOADng Router A. The RREP.ackrequired
the sent RREP message is set ('1').
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router C to LOADng Router A) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
B (Reverse route from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B) and
forwards the received RREQ.
o Upon receiving the same RREQ (RREQ.seq-num = 0, RREQ.originator =
A) again via LOADng Router C, LOADng Router D compares the
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
RREQ.route-metric information carried by the RREQ with the already
existing tuple within its Routing Set (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router D to LOADng Router A) according to the comparison operator
specified by the metric used (hop count):
Already existing tuple:
<R_hop_count> = 1
Tuple corresponding to the newly received RREQ:
<R_hop_count> = 2
According to the comparison operator specified by the metric used:
1 < 2
Consequently, the newly received RREQ message is discarded without
affecting the Routing Set or triggering the generation of any RREP
message.
o Due to the unidirectional nature of the existing link between
LOADng Routers A and D, the RREP message previously sent by LOADng
Router D intended for LOADng Router A did not reach its
destination. After an elapsed time equaling RREP_ACK_TIMEOUT,
LOADng Router D is not expecting an RREP-ACK message anymore.
This results in recording LOADng Router A neighbor in LOADng
Router D's Blacklist.
Second attempt to establish a bidirectional route between LOADng
Routers A and D:
o LOADng Router A generates an RREQ message (RREQ.seq-num = 1,
RREQ.originator = A) intended for LOADng Router D.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router A (Reverse Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router A) and forwards the received RREQ.
At the same time, upon receiving the same RREQ via its blacklisted
neighbor LOADng Router A, LOADng Router D discards the message.
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router C updates the corresponding
routes (Reverse Routes from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router A and
from LOADng Router C to LOADng Router B) and forwards the received
RREQ.
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
o Upon receiving the RREQ, LOADng Router D updates the already
installed route (Reverse Route from LOADng Router C to LOADng
Router A) and installs a new tuple towards LOADng Router C
(Reverse route from LOADng Router D to LOADng Router C). The
reception of the RREQ also triggers the generation of an unicast
RREP message intended for LOADng Router A. The RREP.ackrequired of
the sent RREP message is set ('1').
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router C installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router D (Forward Route from LOADng
Router C to LOADng Router D), sends an unicast RREP-ACK message to
LOADng Router D and forwards the RREP received previously.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router B installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router D (Forward Route from LOADng
Router B to LOADng Router D) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
C (Forward Route from LOADng Router B to LOADng Router C). An
unicast RREP-ACK message is also sent to LOADng Router C and the
RREP received previously is forwarded.
o Upon receiving the RREP, LOADng Router A installs a new tuple in
its Routing Set towards LOADng Router D (Forward Route from LOADng
Router A to LOADng Router D) and a new tuple towards LOADng Router
B (Forward Route from LOADng Router A to LOADng Router B). The
reception of the RREP also triggers an unicast RREP-ACK message
intended for LOADng Router B.

4.2. Place and Date of Interoperability Test
This section reports experience with the LOADng routing protocol,
resulting from interoperability testing performed at Hitachi YRL in
Yokohama, Japan, from october 17th to october 19th 2011.
4.3. Participating Implementations
The following implementations were used to perform the
interoperability tests this section, listed alphabetically:
Ecole Polytechnique: "LIX" - This implementation was jointly
developed by Axel Colin de Verdiere, Jiazi Yi, Ulrich Herberg and
Thomas Clausen of Ecole Ploytechnique's networking team. It
consists of approximately 6000 lines of JAVA code running in a Mac
OS environment. It supports RREQ, RREP, RREP-ACK and RERR
generation, processing, forwarding and transmission.
Hitachi YRL 1: "Hitachi 1" - This implementation was fully developed
by Yuichi Igarashi of Hitachi YRL. It consists of 1589 lines of C
code running in the Hitachi proprietary micro OS environment
embedded in a 16MHz H8 micro processor. It supports RREQ, RREP,
RREP-ACK and RERR generation, processing, forwarding and
transmission.
Hitachi YRL 2: "Hitachi 2" - This implementation was jointly
developed by Nobukatsu Inomata of Hitachi ULSI Systems and Yoko
Morii of Hitachi YRL. It consists of 1987 lines of C++ code
running in a Mac OS environment. It supports RREQ, RREP, RREP-ACK
generation, processing, forwarding and transmission, and RERR
processing.
4.4. Scenarios Tested
This interoperability test includes all scenarios 01-12 (inclusive).
4.5. Additional Interoperability Test Considerations
Wireshark packet sniffers, modified to interpret LOADng control
traffic, were used to monitor each link, so as to verify propper
message sequencing.
For each test, the initiation of the communication resulting in the
generation of the first LOADng control traffic message is always
triggered manually. In addition, RREP-ACK LOADng control messages
were systematically expected from each LOADng Router upon reception
of a RREP LOADng control message in order to allow the detection of
unidirectional links.

Table 27
In addition to conventional scenarios as described in Scenario 03 and
Scenario 04 with the same metric type (HOP_COUNT, type 0), different
metric types are tested in the same network. In the test, the
originator of the RREQ initiates a route discovery using a metric
type that the intermediate router does not understand (type 1).
The following table summarizes the results obtained for the different
combinations for which these test 1 (Forward Route and Reverse Route
initial installation) and test 2 (Forward Route and Reverse Route
updating), with different metric types:

| LIX | FLA | LIX | Pass | Pass |
| LIX | LIX | FLA | Pass | Fail |
+-----+-----+-----+--------+--------+
Table 28
One of the tests failed because handling unknown metric types was not
defined properly in [LOADng-05] (but corrected in [LOADng-06], as a
direct result of this interop test). Some changes from [LOADng-05]
to [LOADng-06] that were proposed (and integrated in [LOADng-06]):
1. In section 13.1 ("RREP Generation"):
o RREP.metric-type set to the same value as the RREQ.metric-type
in the corresponding RREQ;
is changed to
o RREP.metric-type set to the same value as the RREQ.metric-type
in the corresponding RREQ if the metric type is known to the
router. Otherwise, RREP.metric-type is set to HOP_COUNT.
Rationale: If a router that generates an RREP for an incoming
RREQ does not know the metric from the RREQ, it will use the
HOP_COUNT metric as fall-back. Per definition, all routers
Clausen, et al. Expires June 14, 2013 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft LOADng Interop Report December 2012
running LOADng support the HOP_COUNT metric.
2. In section 12.3 ("RREQ forwarding"):
3. RREQ.route-metric := received-route-metric + link-metric
is changed to
3. If used-metric-type is not HOP_COUNT, then RREQ.route-metric
:= route-metric + link-metric
Rationale: When the HOP_COUNT metric is used, the metric TLV
value should remain unchanged, and instead the hop count from the
message header is used to calculate the distance.
7.8. Conclusions
As an intermediate test, and because of the limited time, only a
subset of the scenarios (01, 02, 03, 04, 05) have been tested. In
the performed tests, in addition to the conventional behaviors
(regular message exchanges), different metric types, especially
unknown metric types have been used in the network.
The results show that for scenarios with only one metric type, the
two implementations are able to interoperate with each other.
However, when different metrics exist in the same network, the test
failed in some scenarios. The problems are identified, and
corresponding resolutions are proposed. The updates have been
integrated in [LOADng-06].
