I have now integrated checking+truncating of the bssmap message length, there is no TTCN3 test yet.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-bsc/+/13306 osmo_bsc_bssap: check bssamp length field
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-msc/+/13307 a_iface_bssap: check bssamp length field

The two patches for the length check, which I proposed look good in review. However, I have problems creating with TTCN3 for this since TTCN3 seems to let me only generate valid CLEAR COMMANDs. The best would be if I could somehow send a hand crafted SCCP payload, however, I do not know if this is possible.

1) Normal option

Normally, You'd need to use the SCCP_Emulation directly, without the BSSMAP_Emulation on top.

2) Hackish option

Alternatively, you could extend the BSSAP_Conn_PT (port betwene BSSMAP_Emulation and ConnHdlr)
to accept something like 'octetstring' (in addition to PDU_BSSAP, etc.) and extend the
BSSMAP_Emulation.main() function with a

    [] CLIENT.receive(octetstring:?) -> value oct {
        BSSAP.send(oct);
    }

you'd also have to extend BSSAP_CODEC_PT similarly, implementing somethin like a
"type record BSSAP_N_DATA_RAW_req" which uses "octetstring" instead of PDU_BSSAP.

However, I guess at that point it all becomes too complex. So I'd suggest to simply
go for yet another way:

3) BSSAP_Adapter without "ops"

When you call f_bssmap_init with an "omit" argument as BssmapOps, then you basically
get the entire SIGTRAN stack up to SCCP, but without any BSSAP/BSSMAP on top.

You would then have something like a

modulepar {
    BSSAP_Configuration mp_bssap_cfg := { ... }; /* like BSC_Tests.ttcn */
}

component RAW_SCCP_CT {
    BSSAP_Adapter g_ba;
    port SCCPasp_PT SCCP;
}

function f_init() runs on RAW_SCCP_CT {
    f_bssap_init(g_ba, mp_cfg, "RAW_SCCP", omit);
    connect(self:SCCP, g_ba.vc_SCCP:SCCP_SP_PORT);
}

from that point onwards, you can then use things like

testcase TC_foo() runs on RAW_SCCP_CT {
    f_init();
    SCCP.send(t_ASP_N_CONNECT_req(called, calling, omit, omit, '01020304'O, conn_id, omit));
    SCCP.receive(tr_ASP_N_CONNECT_res ....

You may need the attached patch to fix a bug in BSSAP_Adapter.ttcn
