For all protocol tests with TAHI, you do not need (and should not have) any
other node than one testing node (TN) and one node under test (NUT) on the
network, maybe with more as one network interface (e.g. for router tests).

All different TN in the testtopology are emulated by the one testing node.

Please read INSTALL.ct carefully, all you need is described here.


Only for the interoperability test you need more nodes with different IPv6
stacks (but here is no interoperability test for DHCPv6 so far I know).
