Traffic Shaper XP Changelog

What's new in Traffic Shaper XP 1.21 Beta 6

May 8, 2008
  • Fixed server lockup when maximum number of statistics were reached (1000).
  • Changed traffic window so that inter-LAN connections are displayed. In previous versions they were only shown when there was a rule that covered the traffic stream.
  • Removed address range 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 from the list of private address ranges. The private address ranges are used by the product when detecting LAN-facing and Internet-facing adapters after installation. Even though the 10.x.x.x range is technically a private IP address space, it is used by many cable companies to provide public IP addresses to users. The fix prevents WAN adapter from being falsely detected as LAN.
  • Fixed local and remote port columns not being displayed in the traffic window.

New in Traffic Shaper XP 1.14 (Mar 10, 2007)

  • Fixed an issue when updating line speed on a peer, the new speeds would not be updated correctly for other peers in the mesh.
  • Fixed server fault where the service would load too quickly after bootup, possibly before the IP stack was fully initialized. Proper ervice dependencies have been added.
  • Fixed fault where peer broadcast was not occuring under some circumstances. This meant that peers would not always connect to form a proper mesh.
  • Fixed listen adapter being set incorrectly on DHCP clients. The server was reverting to localhost and the client was attempting to connect to the old DHCP address which became invalid if a new lease was obtained.
  • Added 'force uninstall' feature which allows the server to be removed even if the install path is not found in the registry.
  • Released free version of the product (Personal Edition).
  • Added Deep Packet Inspection to Enterprise edition. Added 'content' field to connections window which shows the Layer 7 properties of the traffic (FTP, HTTP, IMAP etc.).
  • Added dynamic triggers to Enterprsie edition which allow limiting users to a lower rate after a specified number of megabytes are transferred.
  • Fixed distributed mode fault where IP address 0.0.0.0 was being displayed in the list of connected peers.
  • Fixed 'recvfrom() failed' fault in Standard edition distributed mode.
  • Fixed error 303136 during installation, caused by having a dial-up connection active during the install.
  • Set new maximum internet speeds. Personal edition: 3,689 kb/s, Standard edition: 24.5 Mb/s, Enterprise edition: 2,547 Mb/s. They are the maximum rates for both upload or download directions.
  • Fixed uninstaller to completely remove all files, rather than leaving uninstall.exe and the program files folders behind.
  • Added 'Keep rules and event log' to uninstaller to allow full removal of storage files.
  • Created new 'Queue' tab in rule properties. Moved queue limit and queue type from advanced processing tab into the new one.
  • Fixed warning for unknown adapter types 'ndiswanbh', 'ndiswannbf' and some others. The server was binding to those adapters but they are artificial network adapters like Microsoft Network Monitor which are not meant to be throttled.
  • Fixed user interface fault that caused flashing when changing tabs, just below the tab control.
  • Added uninstall link to start menu for server only install. Also fixed an issue with the uninstall link not being removed during uninstall for server-only deployment.
  • Fixed user limit being filled too soon because it was identifying broadcast packets as users.
  • Fixed issue with statistics import if 'remove existing objects' was selected. The existing objects were not removed and the imported statistics were not replacing existing ones.
  • Changed import and export process for statistics and scheduling to enforce rules to also be imported / exported if they are selected.
  • Fixed invalid XSLT file being used for statistics storage.
  • Fixed pre-defined values in the 'rate effect' field in the scheduling window. They were being added twice.
  • Statistics are now reset for a rule if direction, dynamic queue type or network adapter fields are changed.
  • Fixed server shutdown fault if there was an error writing to XML storage.
  • Added statistics recording for traffic that is not covered by any rules.
  • Added IPSec protocol support to Enterprise edition.
