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.

Here is a complete chart comprising popular communication data network standards and their respective transfer rates. I hope this reference chart will help network engineers and network software developers while performing networking tests and experiments, building WAN/network products, building WAN simulated networks of a specific standard and so on. This may also helps us to track technological advancements of communication data networks.

Introducing TOFFEE-Butterscotch - Save and Optimize your Internet/WAN bandwidth ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
TOFFEE-Butterscotch yet another variant of TOFFEE can be used to save and optimize your Home/SOHO Internet/WAN bandwidth. Unlike TOFFEE (and TOFFEE-DataCenter) TOFFEE-Butterscotch is a non peer-to-peer (and asymmetric) network optimization solution. This makes TOFFEE-Butterscotch an ideal tool for all Home and SOHO users.

Building my own CDN - Finally Completed - Update: 17-Dec-2017 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Today I finally completed building my own private CDN. As I discussed so far in my earlier topics (Building my own CDN), I want to custom build the same step-by-step from scratch. And I don't want to for now use/buy third-party CDN subscriptions from Akamai, CloudFlare, Limelight, etc as I discussed earlier.

VPN Network Optimization via TOFFEE WAN Optimization ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
VPN Networks may degrade network performance due to various packet processing overheads such as encryption and by adding extra network protocol header(s) (such as IPv4/IPv6, IPSec, etc). This may inflate near MTU sized packets and causes excessive packet fragmentation. Here are the few examples of packet processing involved in a VPN (or a VPN like) Tunnel. With TOFFEE you can optimize these packets even before they get processed on to a VPN device. TOFFEE optimizes packet contents (application payload and transport headers) so that these TOFFEE optimized packets when they get processed by VPN devices (or VPN software stack) they may never need further packet fragmentation. Here is a deployment scenario of TOFFEE with VPN devices.

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.

TOFFEE (and TOFFEE-DataCenter) deployment in Large Infrastructure and or ISP Networks ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Large Infrastructure or ISP setup: In case if you are an ISP and interested in deploying a large customer WAN Optimized network or an add-on enhanced (WAN Optimized) network for select few customers, then you can deploy something as shown below. Although this case is not meant for hobby/DIY users. This is a feasible solution for high-end professional application and the same can be deployed.

TOFFEE-DataCenter Live Demo with Clash of Clans game data - 30-Aug-2016 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Today I have done a test setup so that I can able to connect my Android Samsung Tab via TOFFEE DataCenter. Below is my complete test topology of my setup. For demo (and research/development) context I configured TOFFEE DataCenter in engineering debug mode. So that I do not need two devices for this purpose.

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.
