Does this project match completely BonjourConformanceTest?

Hi, Does this project match all requirements by the Apple BonjourConformanceTest?

thank u

I want to explain the problem in a better way.

I'm using BonjourConformanceTest from Apple developer website, but it stops with a failure at step I.5 (Link-Local Address Allocation - Subsequent conflict).

This is the log:

The documentation is available inside the .dmg of the Bonjour Conformance Test BonjourConformanceTest1.3.2.dmg, and it's called Conformance Test Outline.txt.

This is what Apple says (so the author of this piece of doc is Apple, Inc.):

I.5 Subsequent Conflict

The test tool will wait ten seconds, and then issue two ARP replies, six seconds apart, for the address the device is using.  The test tool verifies that the device then picks a new address and probes/announces again.  If the device does not wait for the second ARP reply before choosing a new address, instead probing immediately after the first conflict, a warning is generated.

Are you able to do this test alone with an Airport device (configured in a local network without internet as requested by Apple) + a macbook with macOS High Sierra?

What do you think about this topic?

PS I'm really interested in this project and If you want I can try to help you, also doing tests.

Oh wait probably I made a mistake. What is failing is test "SUBSEQUENT CONFLICTS" Phase I.5 and not I.3.
I updated the previous comment and removed another one because wrong.

Tests are done with a different order then "Conformance Test Outline.txt"

Cool, I actually hadn't heard of bonjour's conformance test. That seems like a great way to verify correct behavior! Thanks for letting me know about it.

I do have access to a hackintosh mac to run the tests, but I haven't run them yet. I'll look into it more and let you know.

[Ks89]

Perfect.

I'm sorry but I discovered that the tests were failing because of avahi, pre-installed on raspian. Tomorrow I'll check again and I'll update you
