NEWS & UPDATES 》 Introducing TOFFEE-Fudge - Network Packet Generator

TOFFEE-Mocha is my dream project which I thought working on it since several years. I want to make a WAN emulation software which is straight forward and simple to use. I used tc scripts along with iptables for testing my TOFFEE (and TrafficSqueezer before TOFFEE) and I am not quite satisfied with the same. As one can understand these scripts are not meant for WAN emulation.

This is my next software development update of TOFFEE-DataCenter which I am working since past few weeks. I was very busy in implementing the core TOFFEE-DataCenter components along with prototyping, benchmarking, implementing and testing the same. However today is the first time ever I did a fresh new CLI interface for the upcoming new TOFFEE-DataCenter.

Download TOFFEE-MOCHA-2.0.3-0-10-nov-2018-x86-64.iso via Google Drive share: Live bootable x86-64 Debian Stretch 9.5 with light-weight LXDE UI ISO (includes source-code): TOFFEE-MOCHA-2.0.3-0-10-nov-2018-x86-64.iso You can find the source tar-ball in the /root folder. To know more about the project kindly refer TOFFEE- Mocha: News and Updates - Documentation. To know more about current specific release, objectives, features, release notes/updates, quick demo and future road-map, you can watch my video below.

If you want to deploy TOFFEE along with a web-proxy cache (such as Squid Proxy) you can deploy the same as shown below. TOFFEE does not cache files. TOFFEE does packet level network optimization. So if you want caching your web content you can use transparent mode web-proxy cache intercepting your WAN links. A web-proxy may reduce amount of data being processed (optimized) within these TOFFEE devices and so reduce the CPU overheads and improve its performance.

Here is my first software development update of TOFFEE-Butterscotch. In my first TOFFEE-Butterscotch news update I have introduced about TOFFEE-Butterscotch research, project specifications, use-cases, etc. Introducing TOFFEE-Butterscotch Alerts: These are simple packet counters which corresponds to the filter type. For example if the incoming TCP-SYN packets are blocked then its corresponding alert counter will increment whenever such a packet arrives and gets filtered (dropped).
