September 2nd, 2021

V1.0.0.152 - V2.0.0.86 - V3.0.0.86 - V3.1.0.86 - V4.0.0.37 - V5.0.0.37 - V5.1.0.37 - V6.0.0.37

• General

Authorisation interval no longer dependent on task poll interval

• Route Test

Now report Differentiated Services Field (DSCP & ECN) for each hop where known.

• Satellite server

Ipecho response now includes Firmware Version
TCP stats logged after loading web files from server to identify any link problems

• Speed Test

Fixed possible divide by zero in GetPercentileSpeedKbps calculation.

• UDP Capacity Test

Removed bytes and times detail from report

• VoIP Test

Removed bytes and times detail from report

April 20th, 2021

V1.0.0.151 - V2.0.0.85 - V3.0.0.85 - V3.1.0.85 - V4.0.0.36 - V5.0.0.36 - V5.1.0.36 - V6.0.0.36

• WebServer

Removed satellite server cache’s dependency on server IP to cater for load balancers.
When serving a .pds file, the content-type was specified as test/html rather than application/octet-stream. This could cause the pds file to be corrupted by the network.

• SIP Test

CSeq incremented when authenticating in accordance with RFC 3261.
RDid not send Contact header (client and server).
SIP client also accepts SIP/2.0 response in addition to RTSP/1.0.

• DNS Test

If IP of DNS server unspecified use DHCP to try to obtain a DNS server

• Speed Test

Implemented "suspend logging" and "detail report" options
Implemented percentile calculations and best result reporting.
Now report up and down route speeds as route speed now determined from RTT and number of sessions.
ACM V3.0.0.84 would crash during a downstream speed test

• Firewall Test

Added ability to test to a 3rd party TCP target

June 4th, 2020

V1.0.0.150 - V2.0.0.84 - V3.0.0.84 - V3.1.0.84 - V4.0.0.35 - V5.0.0.35 - V5.1.0.35 - V6.0.0.35

• General

Parsing of lastmod time would fail if directory name contained a digit
Mis-entering a web page such as myspeed/admin as myspeedadmin would display a corrupt admin web page
For support the login page now shows Embedded MCS version and any processor id

• Reporting

Devices now report Connection type "Ethernet" when posting test results
Report relay did not include User Agent security feature so reports were blocked by new MCS 11 security
A maximum segment size less than 1000 bytes could cause the device to restart when POSTing reports

• Route Test

WhoIs lookups did not include User Agent so requests were blocked by new MCS 11 security
WhoIs lookups now also done by client tests

• VoIP Speed Test: Use of static variables could corrupt data times in audit when running multiple VoIP tests simultaneously
• Firewall Test: Tests with timeout to dedicated UDP ports (SIP, VoIp, Capacity) would fail
• DNS Test: Did not report query name if look up is not specified and defaults to the test server
• DHCP Test: Added support for this test

January 22nd, 2020

V1.0.0.149 - V2.0.0.83 - V3.0.0.83 - V3.1.0.83 - V4.0.0.34 - V5.0.0.34 - V5.1.0.34 - V6.0.0.34

• When posting a report, the external client IP is now the one seen by the test server rather than the parent server.
• Hourly network statistics now sent to "satellite" plugin rather that the act quality plugin.
• Extended "restart device" logic to accept a delay parameter.
• Ticket logic extended to include diary support (SWO strings).
• Added support for "actions" plugin.
• "Finished" signal sent to server when finite work order complete.
• Copyright changed to 2020.

May 23rd, 2019

• TCP Speed Test: Could cause exception if failed to calculate weighted modal pause
• Firewall Test Server:

Detect and respond to Firewall test packets on UDP management port
Changed firewall test packet detection to allow packets larger than four characters (cf timeout check packets).
Note, UDP ports in use do not support firewall timeout checks.

• VoIP Test:

Added option to calculate jitter according to RFC3550
Fixed memory leak in UDP SIP test server

• Proxy Detection:

Added detection of proxy between client and server.
Added reporting of above proxy in reports.

• Authorisation interval now only limited to task poll interval if authorised
• Webserver

Set-Cookie: uid no longer deterministic.
Added ability to set custom headers in MCS
Added /myspeed/ipecho URL to webserver (for load balancers etc to test to)
Improved hack defense:- reset any connection requesting a page without /myspeed
