[vfer-users] VFER-0.97 Released

[Ivan B. <iv...@cs...>]

Hello,

We've finally got around to releasing VFER-0.97. This timely release  
includes the long awaited delay based congestion control. The default  
parameters are a GAIN of 8 packets/RTT and a TARGET queueing delay of  
8ms. The code has been run over LAN and WAN links and performs  
relatively well for a user space implementation with experimental CC.

The release also includes quite a number of changes to the VFER  
protocol including data range vector nacks instead of fragment vector  
nacks, an AVL binary tree delay history data structure, and one of  
this summer of code's student's work implementing authentication and  
encryption within VFER. That code still needs work but it has already  
been merged into the main branch and testing is under way for the  
next release which will include authentication support over existing  
user SSH keys. Many bugs have been squashed and features added. There  
are links to the sources .tar.gz file from the VFER website- http:// 
vfer.sf.net


thanks all,

ivan.
