Query Verification Tool and Translation Verification Tool
COPs example:
10.0.0.1 is a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and is configured as an aggregation identification
(AGGR-ID) in the BTS 10200. The goal is to monitor all Common Open Policy Service Protocol (COPS)
messaging to and from the CMTS.
a.
Issue the following command:
# snoop -d qfe0 -o cops.cap host 10.0.0.1 and port 2126 and tcp
b.
Use Control-C to stop the packet capture. Open the file in Ethereal and inspect.
Step 4
Packets can be redirected to a file (not readable by Ethereal) at follows:
# snoop -d qfe0 -x 42 host 10.0.0.1 and port 2427 and udp > mycapt.cap
Step 5
Stop the snoop processes.
# pkill snoop
# pgrep snoop (should not report any process ids)

Tool Requirements
The following requirements are supported in the QVT and TVT:
•
TVT—Provide a tool to find, diagnose, and trace call flow path decisions.
•
Query Local Routing Number (QLRN) Tool—Provide the ability to enter a ten digit directory
number and launch a query to the service control point (SCP) as though it was a called number from
the signal switching point (SSP).
•
Query Tool E800VER Command—Send a database query to the SCP as if it was an 800 called
number from the SSP without initiating a call.
•
Query Tool CNAMDVER and TESTSS CNAMD Commands—Provide the ability to query the SCP
database for the calling name delivery (CNAM) display and privacy status associated with the name
without initiating a call.
