Version 2.10.2 of the Wireless Endpoints is an important bugfix. We received reports on low performance on the Samsung Galaxy S8. Research showed bad performance, most noticeable in combination with Android 8. One of the system calls did not behave as expected and is behaving on the other platforms. This method was introduced in version 1.1.24.

This forced us to rewrite the core logic for traffic reception and transmission, which required several iterations of development and testing.

A couple years ago we described our impairment node on our blog. We've used this system for functional tests of the ByteBlower server and verification of the latency measurements. This setup has served us well, performance was never a bottleneck. For a new experiment, part of an upcoming blogpost, our colleagues of the DOCIS testing services required a significantly faster impairment

In the summer of 2018, we’ve introduced the option to automatically restart a broken TCP session. This feature provided continuous TCP traffic, even when the network itself encountered hiccups. At that time, this feature was only available on the ByteBlower server ports. In this first major release of 2019, we are bringing this feature to ByteBlower Wireless Endpoint. A big aid to test mobile devices even in difficult Wi-Fi environments.

Watch it in action in this short
