Octopus – How It Works

Outlining the Solution Blueprint

Octopus verifies compliance of end-to-end 3GPP procedure in the EPC, converged core, or other combination of setups. Automated to hook up to deployed network and take capture on all the interfaces. Validation of Protocol messages as per specifications for the sequence of messages.

Octopus is configurable to capture packets from various interfaces. They are fed to a sophisticated event engine to detect compliance, failures, and pinpoint them for quicker resolution. The framework works with all popular test generation tools.
