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.

TOFFEE with Hardware Compression and Decompression Accelerator Cards ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
You can build a basic TOFFEE WAN Optimization hardware completely in software layer (i.e its networking data-plane and control-plane). And if you are a product manufacturer you can make commercial WAN Optimization products with TOFFEE with software layer alone. And if you choose to improve its performance, you can use any third-party PCIe Compression Accelerator cards.

Detect and Monitor Failing Harddrive in Linux - My Seagate 500GB HDD Died ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
My 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM hard-drive suddenly started making mild clicking noise. I found this happening since morning. I was suspicious that something wrong in this drive and when I opened the Linux Disks app, I can find the cause of this issue. The disk is increasingly getting read errors. Besides I can see various other parameters such as Power-On Hours, Temperature, Head flying hours, etc.

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

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.

TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 17-June-2016 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Now I supported and finished complete GUI support of these parameters so that you can configure, store, reboot and the same will restore upon reboot. Besides I complete the TOFFEE-Mocha Big-Picture page. The Big picture is an interface where you can find all the configuration (or settings) of the TOFFEE-Mocha. This is almost similar to CISCO device show all command but in graphical representation. Sometimes a network admin can also print the Big Picture page and paste it near to the device to refer its settings.

TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 20-Oct-2016 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
I was doing some specific tests in my TOFFEE and TOFFEE-DataCenter (WAN optimization) scenarios such as variable upload and download speeds. And I was also doing some experiments with speedtest.net and I did some of these tests with TOFFEE-Mocha. I realized there is a case that I can introduce asymmetric constant delays so that you can get different download speed and a different upload speed. And in some cases much faster download speeds and relatively slower upload speeds.

TOFFEE Benchmarks :: TOFFEE-1.1.28 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Here is the TOFFEE WAN Optimization benchmarks of the TOFFEE version: TOFFEE-1.1.28. This is the current TOFFEE development version till date (2-Jul-2016). This is a HPC TOFFEE variant meant for high-end custom build servers and high-end desktops (i.e High Performance Computing a.k.a HPC). TOFFEE built this way often needs customized kernel compilation and build such as processor specific and hardware specific tune-ups since it is highly CPU intensive (if not offloaded via Hardware Accelerator Cards).

Power consumption of my Home Lab devices for research ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Here is my power-consumption measurements of various devices deployed within my home lab. I measured via my kill-a-watt sort of power-meter which is fairly reliable and accurate. I checked its accuracy with various standard load such as Philips LED laps and other constant power-consuming devices to make sure that the power-meter is precise.
