H.248 GW (Text) Test Suite Data Sheet

Test Suite: H.248 GW (Text) Test Suite

Direction: Client

The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MEGACO, H.248) is a protocol used in physically decomposed Multimedia Gateways. The H.248 (Text) Client Test Suite can be used to test H.248 MG implementations with Text encoded variant of H.248 protocol for robustness and reliability problems. It attempts to discover bugs in tested implementations by sending invalid, incorrect and malformed data and data structures. The test suite is intended strictly for automated black-box negative testing in an isolated lab environment.
