TOFFEE-Mocha-1.1.3 TOFFEE-SoftServer v1.2

Written by: Kiran Kankipati - Published: 31-May-2017

To Install: Download the tar-ball and extract the same in your desired location. In the VirtualBox select Machine->Add and select the .vbox file in the VM folder (extracted tar-ball).

NOTE: Before you boot into the same, adjust the VM's CPU cores (and RAM) according to your host system's hardware capabilities/specs. Optionally you can also set multiple LAN ports for each specific purpose.

NOTE: For basic overall documentation you can refer one of the old releases over HERE. You can ignore the installation steps specific to that version or release format. But the rest of the steps will give you a complete picture.

NOTE: For more information about my lab VM setup kindly refer my video article DOCUMENTATION :: Setting up a WAN Emulator within VirtualBox.

Due to the TOFFEE-Mocha delay set (in this case bandwidth jitter) the rate of data-transfer is limited and often mimics poor quality of network service.

Diagnosing network performance.

Due to the TOFFEE-Mocha jitter you can see fluctuating performance. In this case it is fluctuating between 1ms-5ms at a jitter factor of 1. Jitter factor of 1 denotes more frequent turbulence/jitter.



Changing the Jitter factor, min and max delays results in a different WAN performance curve. Notice the way it is different than the previous network performance curve.
