NEWS & UPDATES 》 First TOFFEE-Mocha Code Release

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.

Hence I wanted a dedicated WAN emulator software which does simulation of a real WAN like network such as packet delays, packet drops and few other features. Eventually I started the project titled TOFFEE-Mocha on 1-Jun-2016. I thought it may take a month to build the first phase of the same and eventually make it ready for release. But quite fortunately I completed the same way before my expected schedule. And hence I am releasing the first TOFFEE-Mocha today !

Here are my TOFFEE-Mocha software development updates which I posted earlier:

I suggested in my posts (news updates and videos) that I may release the TOFFEE-Mocha on 1-July-2016 on Raspberry Pi. But since I completed the phase-1 software development and system-level testing, etc, eventually I decided to release prior to the scheduled release date. There are few issues/delays in preparing Raspberry Pi TOFFEE-Mocha version, so I did first x86_64 TOFFEE_Mocha release (23-Jun-2016) and later followed by Raspberry Pi TOFFEE-Mocha (24-Jun-2016).

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

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.

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.

A study on Deep Space Networks (DSN) ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
When you are dealing Deep Space Networks (DSN) one among the most challenging parts is the Interplanetary distances and communicating data across such vast distances. This is where we are not dealing with common Internet type traffic such as HTTP/FTP/VoIP/etc but it is completely different when it comes to DSN so far. So optimizing data in DSN becomes mandatory. For example if you think one of the Mars Rovers, they have used LZO lossless compression.

TOFFEE-Mocha WAN Emulation software development - Update: 16-June-2016 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
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.
