What's new in Mausezahn 0.40
Jul 8, 2010
- Important bugfixes and some interesting new features:
- Configured packets can now be grouped to 'packet sequences', optionally with additional delays between each packet chain. Use the 'sequence' command to enter the sequence configuration mode. Only in interactive mode.
- IP auto-fragmentation is now supported in interactive mode. For every IP-based packet you can configure a 'fragment-size' and optionally a 'fragment- overlap'.
- Direct mode, jitter measurements: Now uses consistently the ssrc option to distinguish different RTP streams.
- Corrected PVST+ spanning tree packets in both direct and interactive mode (and exhaustively tested).
- Direct mode: Loose Source Route option works now correctly (tested it in Cisco network).
- Interactice mode: 'start' command has been renamed to 'run'. Also improved packet selection with this command, using IDs or names. Also sequences can be started that way.
- Lots of bugfixes, more and less critical.
New in Mausezahn 0.39 (Mar 9, 2010)
- Fixed 100% CPU-consumption bug, occurring when Mausezahn is used in interactive mode or RTP-measurement mode and the system has a recent libpcap-dev library.
- Added RTP support in MOPS.
- Improved RTP measurement mode (more efficient, some bugs fixed, internally nanosecond resolution for future and hi-end machines).
- Fixed sporadic clean-up bugs (NULL-pointer verification).
- Updated man pages.
New in Mausezahn 0.34.5 (Oct 31, 2008)
- This is an unplanned bugfix release before the next major release (0.35) comes out.
- Ranges (ports and/or addresses) can now be used even when no payload is specified.
- Two new features are included: RTP packet drop count and disorder count (the number of permutations needed to regain the correct sequence).
- These values are printed on the command line at regular intervals.
New in Mausezahn 0.34 (Sep 24, 2008)
- IP options (general interface, as well as loose and strict source route) and ICMP improvements (echo request/reply, unreachable) were added.
- The clock for the jitter-measurements was improved, so there are no artifacts when a host synchronizes with NTP-servers.
