# Preconditions:
# Library pcap-ct (not libpcap, not pylibpcap, not pypcap)
#
# Version 2022-08-14:
#  - Selection of interfaces ok
#  - Sniffing of the SLAC-request ok
#  - Transmission of a demo message ok
#
# Test results 2022-10-15
# 1. GET_SW.REQ broadcast is answered by both TPlinks, while the first is connected to eth, the other via PLC at the first.
# 2. Step 1 works also, if we use a different MAC address than the original laptop ethernet MAC.
# 3. CM_SET_KEY addressed to the correct destination works, with the following results:
#     - there were cases, when the TPlink responded "negative", but with a "valid" none (each time it used a new mynonce, and correctly
#       reflected our mynonce.
#     - but also there is "positive" response, also with correct nonces.
#     - also the Devolo reponds positive and with correct nonces.
#     - not yet checked, whether the NMK is really set
# 4. CM_GET_KEY with wrong NID is refused by the devolo. But at least it delivers the NID (e.g. d57c1fe9544e01), and if we use this NID in the next
#     request, it responds with KEY_GRANTED, Keytype=NMK, and a key 7f19ba0261892d59b7ea42aed875d2320000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
#     This key delivers exactly the NMK, which we have set in the CM_SET_KEY.
#     But: There are some pitfalls:
#       The CM_SET_KEY responds in some cases (wrong request) positive, but does not apply the NMK.
#       If the CM_SET_KEY is well-formatted, including the correct NID, we get a false-negative response, and
#       we see the LEDs on the adaptor shortly going completely off, completely on, and back to normal state. This
#       is the sign, that the new key was accepted. It means, the
#       adaptor is making a reset, to apply the new key.
# 5. CM_SET_KEY and CM_GET_KEY works also when sent to broadcast address. For both, devolo and tpLink.
# 2022-10-18 further tests
# 6. The devolo reports the SLAC_PARAM from the standalone-IONIQ to the wirkshark. Even in the case, when the devolo is paired to a tpLink.
# 7. The tpLink does NOT report the SLAC_PARAM to ethernet. Bad.
# 8. The tpLink has software from 2017, maybe the SLAC was removed at this version.
