NAME

  InvalidChecksumInAbort.seq - ABORT chunk is received with invalid checksum


PURPOSE

  To check that is ABORT chunk is received with invalid checksum, the
  endpoint should silently discards the ABORT.


SYNOPSIS

  ./InvalidChecksumInAbort.seq [-tooloption ...] -pkt ./InvalidChecksumInAbort.def
    -tooloption : v6eval tool option
  See Also: ../common/STD_PKT_COMMON.def
            ../common/SCTP_COMMON.def


PRE-TEST CONDITION

  Association is established between endpoint A and B. Arrange
  data in endpoint A such that ABORT message is send to endpoint
  B with invalid checksum.


TEST PROCEDURE

  Endpoint A                           Endpoint B                ULP
  (ESTABLISHED)                        (ESTABLISHED)
  ABORT         ----------------->     Silently discard
  (with invalid checksum)
  TEST DESCRIPTION:
  1. Attempt to initiate an association from endpoint A to B. Send ABORT 
     message with wrong CRC-32 checksum.
     Record the message sequence using a signal emulator.
  2. Check A: ABORT message is silently discarded and no other actions
     are taken.


NOTE

  None


REFERENCE

  RFC 4960
  1.5.6.  Packet Validation
    A mandatory Verification Tag field and a 32-bit checksum field (see
    Appendix B for a description of the CRC32c checksum) are included in
    the SCTP common header.  The Verification Tag value is chosen by each
    end of the association during association startup.  Packets received
    without the expected Verification Tag value are discarded, as a
    protection against blind masquerade attacks and against stale SCTP
    packets from a previous association.  The CRC32c checksum should be
    set by the sender of each SCTP packet to provide additional
    protection against data corruption in the network.  The receiver of
    an SCTP packet with an invalid CRC32c checksum silently discards the
    packet.
