NEWS & UPDATES 》 TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 16-June-2016

I started TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development on 1-June-2016. I took the existing TOFFEE components as a base. Although the TOFFEE-Mocha is entirely an independent fresh Open-Source WAN Emulation solution. Ever since I am in the process of defining and inventing features. So far I come up with the most important feature which is expected to be present in any WAN Emulation software is the packet delay option.

First I supported what is called as "Constant Packet Delay" to introduce per-packet (or inter packet) delay in the combination of milli-seconds and micro-seconds. This feature once I fully implemented I tested with file-downloads (via TCP) and bulk ping (ICMP) 1000-bytes packet size and found it is working flawlessly as expected. But what I need is also an innovative feature with which we can control the packet rate based on its size. Such as more delay for a packet which is around 1000-bytes and less delay for a packet which is just around 100-bytes. So I introduced another feature called as "Packet Dynamic Delay". With this feature now I can dynamically control the rate of the packet flow proportional to the size of the packet. And with the packet-dynamic-delay-factor variable you can also adjust its delay factor. Higher the delay-factor set, lower is going to be the packet dynamic delay and vice-versa. And you can also set delays combination of constant and dynamic packet delay parameters.

As one can understand these are cases which we cannot easily configure via any existing Linux tools (user-space and or kernel-space features). And if you need a highly versatile WAN Emulation testing software you need features such as these. I may continue to work on probably couple of more feature before my first TOFFEE-Mocha release which is scheduled on 1-July-2016. Until then stay tuned.

If you have any feature requests expected to be supported on TOFFEE-Mocha software you can kindly send me your ideas and suggestions.

First TOFFEE-Mocha Code Release ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
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.

Benchmark Raspberry Pi and other embedded SoC with TrueBench ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
TrueBench is an unique open-source benchmarking system in which the core system performance and efficiency parameters are measured at extreme high resolution in the order of several million/billion ยต-seconds for a given specific task. TrueBench is a part of The TOFFEE Project research. With TrueBench Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi 2B and Raspberry Pi 2 are benchmarked and you can do a comparative analysis with standard mainstream x86 devices.

Why TOFFEE is forked from TrafficSqueezer ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
TrafficSqueezer is an open-source WAN Optimization project. TrafficSqueezer is mainly a research project which is started around mid-2006. It is initially started as a research (or prototype) code even before it is officially registered in Sourceforge.net. But this code is just primitive user-space raw socket modules. This is later refined and a pre-alpha version is created. Followed by which Alpha release. This prototype code is moved from user-space to Linux Kernel (Kernel Space) and then the journey begin in terms of making a serious WAN Optimization solution. Once the pre-beta and beta releases are complete the mainstream series is started.

Here is my home lab monthly power-consumption readings for research. This will help to measure and monitor the overall power usage and assess the power requirements. This will help me in future purchases such as UPS, battery upgrades and so on. And as well remove replace old obsolete hardware with new less power-consuming devices.
