Server and MeetingPoint 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.
