Description of problem: I got a failed in a tahi test. After server send a reply for release message. Still got a release message. I'm not sure it's retransmit problem. Just ask your opinion here. http://10.66.65.86/DHCPv6_Self_Test_P2_1_1_0_client_fedora/rfc3315/58.html First release message in 12:53:42 Got second release in 12:53:42 ElapsedTime is 109 After this release message test suite send reply to client in 12:53:43 And also in 12:53:43 got third release message it's elapsedtime is 334 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhclient-4.1.1-16.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Client release current address 2.server send reply between the second and the third release message Actual results: Client keep send release message Expected results: Client stop send release message Additional info:
Created attachment 414503 [details] Wireshark packet capture screenshot Hi Yang, I went through the log, but don't know why the client sent the third message. I was testing the situation here and everything looks correct. I'm attaching the wireshark packet capture screenshot from my test, where you can see: 1) In time 0.009438 client sends first Release message. 2) No Reply msg comes from server for the Release. 3) In time 1.007082 (approx. 1000ms after the first Release) client sends second Release msg. 4) In time 1.015104 comes Reply with NoBinding StatusCode. 5) No more Release messages are sent. The only strange thing I see in log from your test are the values of ElapsedTime. The value of ElapsedTime in the second Release should be around 1000(ms), but there's value 109. The value of ElapsedTime in the third Release should be around 3000(ms), but there's value 334.
I read the verify point of this test. "If addresses are released but the Reply from a DHCP server is lost, the client will retransmit the Release message, and the server may respond with a Reply indicating a status of NoBinding. Therefore, the client does not treat a Reply message with a status of NoBinding in a Release message exchange as if it indicates an error." This reply message with status code 3 nobinding. Is it the problem?
Oh I see the screen shot it's also with status code 3. I'll try to find other fail reason.
I find the problem. The time is not correct. The first release sent in 12:52:27 Second release sent in 12:52:28 Third release sent in 12:52:30 But Send DHCPv6 Reply Message: SERVER1 --> NUT at 12:53:43 So actually client send 6 release messages before got reply. So I think this is a test suite problem. Just close it.
