[Lanforge] LANforge version 4.4.8 is released.

[Ben Greear]

LANforge version 4.4.8 has been uploaded to the web page.  This
release includes support for injecting bit and byte errors in the LANforge-ICE
WAN emulator, authenticated SIP in LANforge-FIRE, linux kernel 2.6.16.16
and other changes.

A new product:  LANforge-WiFIRE is also supported.  This is an 802.11a/b/g
testing device.  Each device can support up to 31 virtual stations and
is targetted at those wanting to emulate lots of wifi clients for testing APs
and wireless network configuration.  The WiFIRE device is based on the LF0200
platform with 2 antenna mounted to the back.

For pricing and more info, see the CT520 on the 'Systems' page

The full change log is below:

Release 4.4.8
     *  Support SIP gateway authentication.

     *  Support calling to a specific SIP phone number, instead of
        automatically using the Peer's number.

     *  Support injection of bit-errors in LANforge-ICE.  Up to
        six errors may be specified.  Each error has a min/max
        offset into the packet.  The bahaviour can be:
        byte-overwrite, random-byte-scribble, bit-flip, and
        bit-transpose.  If the packet is UDP or TCP and spans only
        a single ethernet frame, the IP and TCP or UDP checksums
        may be re-calculated to make the corruption look authentic
        to the TCP/IP and UDP/IP stacks.

     *  Support LANforge-WiFire wireless station emulator.  Requires
        Atheros 802.11a/b/g NIC and custom driver from Candela.
        Supports emulation of up to 31 Virtual Stations (vSTA).
        128 bit WEP supported, and all normal LANforge-FIRE protocols
        supported for each vSTA, including VOIP, UDP, TCP, HTTP, etc.

     *  Fix license related problem with 'switch' for WanLinks.

     *  Enable license keys that are valid forever.

     *  Upgrade to latest PESQ library, should make some PESQ results
        improve a small bit.

     *  Fix regression bug that caused port aliases to not be
        displayed correctly.


Thanks,
Ben
