TestWhat it doesResult
test_five_nodesMAQAN's vertex set is its five deployed key-holding q.Node sites, two at SETS Chennai, a trusted-node network (TSDSI TR 60XX v1.0.8) with the IITM-ERNET span present.✅ pass
test_installed_lossThe three published spans give 1.5625, 1.8182 and 0.6250 dB/km, a 2.9x spread, each above the 0.35 dB/km ITU-T category B figure for installed G.652 cable.✅ pass
test_loss_sources_differTable 1's 3.5 dB and Fig. 2's ~3.2 dB for SETS-NIC differ by 0.3 dB, moving that hop's secure key rate by 7.1%.✅ pass
test_phase_reference_onlyEvery MAQAN hop is a q.Link running COW or DPS, the two protocols the paper says it exclusively integrates.✅ pass
test_reroute_alarmsEvery hop and the NIC to IIT Madras widest path clear the deployed controller's 10 kbps reroute threshold, and SETS-2 to NIC its 20% QBER threshold.✅ pass
test_tender_capsEvery hop's derived QBER is under tender STF/TD/002/2025 Table 1's 25%, and the paper's mu <= 0.2 under 0.25.✅ pass
