Abstract. In this paper we show guidelines for performance testing through BRAIN Candidate Mobility Management Protocol (BCMP). At first, we investigate the main issues of our tests, then we describe briefly the applied TTCN-3 based distributed parallel test environment. We present the structure of the network to be tested and the Mobile Node Emulator, the main functional element of the performance test. We describe the actual test and the results. Finally, we summarize our experiences and proposals.
