Server 2.24


Release 2.24

Interface Monitor feature

This feature allows a user to get the statistics of a ByteBlower Interface on a ByteBlower Server.

​​The statistics include:

  • Result data for transmitted and received packets
  • Total number of packets and bytes
  • Minimum and maximum frame sizes
  • Timestamps of the first and the last packet

It also features a result history with:

  • Interval and cumulative results
  • Configurable sampling interval duration and buffer length
  • Batch refresh for synchronous refresh of all result history snapshots

Server Enhancements

  • Added InterfaceMonitor​ to collect per-interface Rx/Tx counters with interval and cumulative histories, filters, and batch refresh support.

Bug Fixes

  • Set DSCP bits correctly for IPv6 TCP flows that use L4S combined with a user-defined TOS/DSCP value.

Deprecations

The ByteBlower server 3100 and 4100 series went EOL in December 2025. This is the first version which will no longer be release for these ByteBlower server series.


Release 2.24.2


Expanded Hardware Support

  • Added support for ConnectX-6 network interface cards, enabling compatibility with newer high-performance NICs.
  • Introduced support for new ByteBlower 5100 hardware revision (5100-gen2-spe platforms).

Driver and Platform Updates

  • Upgraded drivers to ensure compatibility with more recent network interface cards.
  • Added support for TPM 2.0 on Debian-based systems, improving security integration and deployment flexibility.
    • Reduced TPM wear out: Optimized write frequency to TPM hardware for trial licenses, extending hardware longevity and improving reliability.

System Identification Updates

    • Added support for newer platforms and interfaces.

Server Enhancements

  • Resets the next expected sequence number when clearing the counters on an OutOfSequence trigger.
  • To reduce wear on the security dongles, reduced write frequency on TPM hardware for trial licenses.

Bug fixes

  • Improved sequence handling:

    • The next expected sequence number is now correctly reset when clearing counters after an Out-of-Sequence trigger, improving measurement accuracy.
