[Lanforge] LANforge Release 4.4.6

[Ben Greear]

The latest 4.4.6 release is up on the web page.

The release notes are found below:

Release 4.4.6
     *  Take serialization delay into account when using LANforge-ICE
        WAN emulator.  For instance, on a T1 link, it takes about 8ms
        to transmit a 1500 byte packet.  LANforge-ICE will now add that
        8ms to the latency.

     *  Fix small bug in SIP VOIP that caused the received PCM to always
        be written to disk.  Was a drag on performance.

     *  Optimize SIP VOIP to cache RTP encodings to improve performance,
        especially when using codecs such as g729 which use significant
        CPU to encode/decode.

     *  Use 64-bit bits-per-second counters and configuration to support
        10Gbps ethernet adapters.

     *  Support NFS over virtual interfaces (Linux only).

     *  Improve spread-sheet file generation in the LANforge-GUI.  Files
        use commas instead of tabs to separate the columns now.

     *  Support data-generating interfaces using the same subnet as
        the management interface.  This allows one to use MAC-VLANs
        to create VOIP calls using in-band management, for instance.

     *  Beta support for LANforge on 64-bit Intel and AMD systems
        (linux only).
