Candela LANforge New Release 5.4.6

Release 5.4.9  

• Support AtXtel 3D positioner.
• TR398v4: Add Upload MU-MIMO test case.
• Support LANforge CT718 8-portand CT714c-at attenuator, both of which are especially useful for side-mounting on RF chambers.
• Support 3-D positioner in Rate vs Range test to provide Rate vs Range vs Tilt.
• TR398v4: Support enabling MLO for Max-Cx 32 station test.
• TR398v4: Improve wifi-7 support, including for AP-Coex and ACS tests.
• TR398v4: Limit some high-speed pass/fail thresholds in case where AP supports Ethernet that is lower than those limits.
• TR398v4: Take Ethernet limits into account for tests needing WiFi backpressure: Air Time Fairness, QoS.
• TR398v4: Improve Latency reporting by adding high resolution CDF graphs to several tests.
• Update WiFi IP ToS defaults to be compatible with RFC-8235
• Support HTTP3 (QUIC) protocol using layer-4 endpoints.
• LANforge-GUI generated reports now use relative paths for sub-directories, to make it easy to rename and copy the reports to new locations.
• LANforge-GUI enables the http (JSON scripting) feature by default.
• AP-Auto test gains various features and bug fixes, including better WiFi-7 and 6Ghz band support.
• Scale test has many bug fixes and reporting improvements.
• Mesh test now supports 6GHz stations.
• Improve MLO Link stats, requires 6.11.11+ or higher kernel.
• Improve MLO Link stability in Intel be200 by calculating beacon signal in the driver instead of depending on firmware to report accurate values.
• Interop: Add support for Apple IOS 18
• DFS: Improve RADAR emulation to support additional patterns.
• Support integrated zoom meetings in the Generic tab.
• Support integrated YouTube streaming on LANforge Linux and Windows machines (support already exists on the LANforge Interop app).
• Android Interop gains ability to automate connecting to APs using Enterprise encryption and requiring 'TOFU' click through in Android.

Significant Bug Fixes  

• Fix regression that broke quiesce-endpoint logic. This made the transmitter keep transmitting so that DUT does not drain the pkts. Work-around would be to manually set tx-rate to zero (I think). And we can do a point release for older releases that have this bug as needed.
• Fix regression in at least 6.10 and higher kernels where txpower was not configured properly (it would have stayed at NIC defaults.)
