Known Issues This section describes the software-related known issues in this release.

Data Throughput - LTE The following issues are applicable to the Data Throughput LTE test packs.

Product LTE - Data Throughput Description Maximum throughput rates greater than 25 Mbps are not achieved on FTP

over IPv6 when a Windows 7 Data Client laptop is NOT used.

Impact Test case fails due to lower data throughput. Workaround You must use a Data Client laptop running Windows 7. Disposition If your Data Client laptop is not running the Windows 7 operating system,

contact Spirent Support for details on how to upgrade the software.

Product LTE - Data Throughput Description When specifying LTE mode as combined mode in the platform configuration

with systems that have an SR5500M Channel Emulator, you may observe low RSTP.

Impact The test case may fail due to lower RSTP. Workaround You must use a Dedicated Mode platform configuration to achieve

maximum RSTP range across all band classes when the system includes an SR5500M Channel Emulator. This restriction is unnecessary for systems that do not include an SR5500M Channel Emulator.

Disposition There are currently no plans to change the implementation. Use the workaround specified above.

Product LTE - Data Throughput Description On rare occasions, during session runs that are longer than 12 hours, L1

and L2 logging stops running with the error message MassiveDataFilter stop working.

Impact There is no impact to the test case execution. Workaround Ignore the warning and continue the test. The test results will be valid. Disposition There are currently no plans to change the implementation.


www.spirent.com 25

Product LTE - Data Throughput Description If the test case is not using the Advanced Channel Model, and the

SR5500M Channel Emulator is used, channel impairments are not applied correctly.

Impact This issue affects the channel impairment requirement for test cases not using the Advanced Channel Model. Data throughput may be affected, especially in cases of low SNR values.

Workaround Test cases not requiring the Advanced Channel Model MUST be executed without the SR5500M platform file. Make sure the primary and secondary SR5500M instruments are set to FALSE in the platform file.


Product LTE - Data Throughput Description The MTU size must be increased to support ping with large packets for

section 2.4 test cases. Impact Test case execution is not impacted. It only impacts L3 log collection. Workaround For section 2.4, you must manually configure the L3 log parameters to ping

with large packets. Press the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B keys before starting call processing (after CS8 Interactive Tester connection), and then set S1U MTU Buffer Size to 3000.


Product LTE - Data Throughput Description In the Verizon DT LTE B4 3.6.2.1 test case, there is an issue for contention

resolution due to RLF and low throughput while running this test (5Hz, 10Hz, and 15Hz).

Impact The test case fails. Workaround None. Disposition Spirent is targeting to fix this issue in a future release.


www.spirent.com 26

CDMA - LTE Mobility The following issues are applicable to the CDMA – LTE Mobility test packs.

Product CDMA - LTE Mobility Description Test cases 7.12, 8.7, 9.6, and 9.7 are implemented using Test Manager,

unlike other test cases in the section which are implemented using Test Stand. As a result, you cannot run these 4 test cases with other test cases.

Impact The test cases fail if they are selected to run combined with test cases that are implemented using Test Stand.

Workaround Run these 4 test cases individually. Disposition There are currently no plans to fix this issue.

Verizon IMS VoIP The following issues are applicable to the IMS VoIP test packs.

Product IMS VoIP Description If test case 3.8.11 is tested with a UE that sends the Re-Invite message as

session refresh instead of the Update message, the IMS client will not handle it.


Product IMS VoIP Description Test case 3.25 requires you to literally not take a break during the

“non-silent” period of the test, which will result in transmitting silent packets. This causes the test case to fail.

Impact The test case fails. Workaround Try not to be silent during the “non-silent” period of the test. Disposition Spirent is investigating a solution to this issue.

Verizon LTE RCS The following issue is applicable to the LTE RCS test packs.
