Defense Communications Agency Upper Level Protocol Test System Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Remote Driver Specification

Abstract

This document is part of a software package that provides the capability to conformance test the Department of Defense suite of upper level protocols including: Internet Protocol (IP) Mil-Std 1777, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Mil-Std 1778, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Mil-Std 1780, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Mil-Std 1781 and TELNET Protocol Mil-Std 1782. This manual describes the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Remote Driver (RD) for the protocol test system. Section 2, The Protocol Test System, summarizes the testing procedures used by the protocol laboratory. Section 3, Remote Driver Functions, contains guidelines for developing a RD for SMTP where an implementation under test (IUT) resides. In addition, Section 3 describes the commands this RD must interpret and execute to be capable of SMTP testing. The response packets the RD must send back to the Central Driver are also specified.
