NOTE: If you are looking TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulator for Intel x86_64 platform, you can find it HERE.

Here is my VLOG Youtube video of the same which includes details about version release notes, future road-map and so on.

Software Development Updates corresponds to this TOFFEE-Mocha release version:
NEWS :: TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 18-June-2016
NEWS :: TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 17-June-2016
NEWS :: TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 16-June-2016

User Guide (Documentation)
The TOFFEE-Mocha release is highly optimized and customized for Raspberry Pi 2/3 hardware platform. TOFFEE-Mocha for Raspberry Pi2/3 is built within the standard Raspberry Pi Raspbian Operating System (version: 2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.img).

NOTE: For more details regarding TOFFEE-Mocha hardware test setup and deployment kindly refer: TOFFEE-Mocha WAN emulator Lab deployment and topology guide

NOTE: For more details regarding TOFFEE-Mocha test-cases and test-results kindly refer: TEST CASES :: TEST RESULTS :: Raspberry Pi WAN Emulator TOFFEE-Mocha-1.0.14-1-rpi2

Installation Unlike the x86_64 version, TOFFEE-Mocha Raspberry Pi version is a complete disk image of Raspberry Pi Raspbian OS in which TOFFEE-Mocha is ported, built and pre-installed. You can download the binary (the install image above), un-tar it and install on a microSD card which is around larger than or equal to 8GB capacity. Since this is the size of the microSD card upon which I built the TOFFEE-Mocha image.

If you are new using Raspberry Pi hardware, you can follow the standard official Raspberry Pi guide: Installing operating system images

If you are using a Linux system you can do via dd command as shown below. Assume in this case the empty microSD card is "/dev/sdc"

kiran@desktop-i7-5820k:~$ sudo dd bs=4M if=TOFFEE-Mocha-1.0.14-1-rpi2.img conv=sync,noerror of=/dev/sdc

Hardware: Additional NIC Card Installation You can use a USB2 to 100Mbps NIC card so that you can get totally two network ports as shown below. Once it is installed you can check by booting the Raspbian OS and confirm via ifconfig command.

Configuration Configuration of TOFFEE-Mocha Raspberry Pi version is as same as x86_64 version, you can refer the Configuration section of the TOFFEE-Mocha-1.0.14-1-x86_64 Documentation.

PiPG - Raspberry Pi Network Packet Generator ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
PiPG is a powerful and yet simple Raspberry Pi Network Packet Generator. With PiPG you can now fabricate custom network packets and send via any Network Interface. Supports all kinds of standard Network Ports (Linux Kernel driver generated) such as Physical Network Interface ports, and an array of virtual ports such as loopback, tun/tap, bridge, etc. indispensable tool for: Network Debugging, Testing and Performance analysis Network Administrators Students Network R&D Protocol Analysis and Study Network Software Development Compliance Testing Ethical Hackers you can generate the following test traffic: L2-Bridging/Slow protocols: STP, LACP, OAM, LLDP, EAP, etc Routing protocols: RIPv1, RIPv2, IGMPv1, IGMPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, HSRP, VRRP, etc Proprietary protocols: CISCO, etc Generic: IPv4 TCP/UDP, etc Malformed random packets

TOFFEE (and TOFFEE-DataCenter) deployment with VPN devices ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
In case if you need to deploy TOFFEE along with your existing VPN devices you can deploy the same as shown below. This will allow your VPN devices to encrypt your TOFFEE WAN Optimized network data. NOTE: Make sure about the VPN deployment topology done in the right order. Else TOFFEE (LAN side) may get VPN encrypted packets which may not be possible (and or difficult) to further optimize. Hence always make sure to deploy them in a topology suggested below so that TOFFEE devices are out of VPN tunnel.

CDN Hosting ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
It is quite interesting that there are few web hosting firms are offering direct CDN based hosting services. Since it is a direct CDN based hosting, it is cheap, extremely easy or transparent CDN service. It is transparent, since each time you publish your content in the hosting web-server (origin server), it is immediately is in sync automatically in the user-serving CDN caching machines. Since the hosting vendor and the CDN vendor are all the same, it is also easy to use their services. There is no incompatibility issues, interoperability issues, and better integrated analytics, are all the benefits of CDN Hosting services.

Live demo - Data Transfer - High bandwidth to Low bandwidth ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
I always wanted to do some real experiments and research on packet flow patterns from High-bandwidth to Low-bandwidth networks via networking devices. This is something can be analyzed via capturing Network stack buffer data and other parameters, bench-marking, and so on. But eventually the data-transfer nature and other aspects is often contaminated due to the underlying OS and the way Network stack is implemented. So to understand the nature of packet flow from Higher to Lower bandwidth and vice-versa such as Lower to higher bandwidth, I thought I experiment with various tools and things which physically we can observe this phenomena.

First TOFFEE Code Release ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
I started working on the new TOFFEE project (which is the fork of my earlier TrafficSqueezer open-source project) starting from 1st January 2016 onwards. Ever since I was busy in research and altering certain old features so that it is more minimal than TrafficSqueezer, a more focused agenda, deliver refined code and a broader vision. I have lined up more things to follow in the upcoming months. I want to focus about all aspects of WAN communication technologies not just on core WAN Optimization research and technology.
