Abstract

The domain name system (DNS) is one of the most basic Internet infrastructures. Therefore, the IPv6 conformance testing is very necessary for accelerating the deployment of IPv6. This paper proposes a conformance testing framework for IPv6 DNS, in terms of the features of IPv6 DNS specifications. This framework employs the extended finite state machine (EFSM) model to describe the control and data flows of dynamic behaviors of IPv6 DNS, and configures the relevant variables and data files by a configuration module which can reduce the test cost.
