Type: Automated Test

Overview

The TCP/IP Offload Engine functional logo tests test verifies the TCP behavior of a TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine) network card. It checks protocol conformance and offload mechanisms.

Details

The necessary tools are copied to the machine with the DTM, but installation occurs as part of the DTM job. Manual installation can be performed with the same command line found in the DTM job.

Two machines are required for the tests. One machine (the host) runs a series of tests against the second machine (the test machine). The host machine uses a special protocol driver to craft different packet sequences. These are sent to the test machine. The responses from the test machine are analyzed for conformance with the TCP. An administrative service is installed on the test machine to control its higher level actions, such as opening sockets, and to query information for additional checks.

The Windows TCP/IP stack and the TOE stack determine all responses on the test machine. In contrast, the protocol driver on the host machine allows its actions to bypass the Windows TCP/IP stack or any TOE stack. The tests have complete control over "remote" packets arriving at the test machine.

Run Time: 2 hours

Log File: Each script that runs generates an NTLog file and a WTTLog file with a similar name.

System Restart Required: Yes

Supported operating systems for Logo or Signature testing:

  • Windows 7

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows Server 2008

  • Windows Server 2003

Requirements

Software Requirements

The test tool requires the following software:

  • Supported operating system (see list above).

  • Software components included with the device that is being tested

Hardware Requirements

The test tool requires the following hardware:

  • Device to be tested

  • Computer that meets the minimum software requirements

  • Windows keyboard

  • Two-button pointing device

  • Color display monitor capable of at least 1024 by 768 resolution, 32-bits per pixel, 60 Hz

Cautions

Reboots are required to enable or disable User Account Protection (UAP). Changes to the default configuration are made, but will not persist unless an unforeseen error occurs.
