TR398v4: Update pass/fail for the Rx Sensitivity test to match the
updated TR398i3-c1 document. The original TR398i3 document had incorrect
pass/fail in the test specification. Please ensure that the pass/fail
configuration in the Rx Sensitivity test in LANforge TR398 are set to
the 'Default' values after upgrading, as the old defaults have now changed.
Internal fixup to work around the test-spec problem have been removed.
TR398v4: Support running most tests at different spatial stream count
and different packet sizes to allow users to customize to test beyond
the official TR398 specification.
TR398v4: Initial support for eMLSR test using 5Ghz + 2.4GHz bands
(as well as the previously supported 5GHz + 6GHz bands test).
TR398v4: Add MLO STR (MLMR) test case support.
WebGUI now supports Dataplane, Hunt, Rate vs Range and some other
Chamber-View test suites.
Support 6.15 kernel for latest drivers and bug fixes and tri-band MLO-STR MLMR support
when using the Mediatek 7996 radio.
Dataplane: Optimize (re)configuring wifi configuration when running
with outter loop being Attenuation.
Dataplane: Ongoing improvements and optimizations to work with IOT
devices and android devices running iperf.
AP-Auto: Improve tri-band converage and general bug fixes and improvements.
AP-Auto: Improve hunt and related test options and performance.
Audio Quality: Improve report, allow configuring internal delay to make latency
report more accurate.
Intel be200: Support 6Ghz puncturing feature in US and CA regulatory domain.
Mediatek 7996: Initial support for 34 virtual stations per radio per band is
available in 6.15.6+ kernels.
Fix IP checksum offload in mtk7996 driver for improved upload throughput.
Cell-Emulator: Add test case for Ethernet to 4g/5g cellular backhaul failover.
This utilizes LANforge integration with ALifecom LTE/5g cell emulator, plus
other equipment to make a complete and self-contained cellular backhual
testbed.
Windows: Support setting QoS/ToS in layer-3 TCP and UDP connections.
Windows makes this harder than expected, but now it works!
Interop: Add support for Windows-ARM machines (Surface)
Interop: Add support for iPad
Interop: Improve Android app logic to re-connect to the LANforge manager
when wifi connection is lost.
LANforge-Manager: Add 'Aux-Mgt-Lite' feature to more easily manage Interop
testbeds over LANforge manager's data generating interfaces (AP, Ethernet, etc).
This makes it easier to manage complex Interop testbeds.
Provide RPI5 kernel patched with Candela patches for extra stats and
features.
Support forceably disabling 40 and/or 80MHz bandwidths when STAs associate to
APs supportion 80+MHz. This is probably against the wifi specification, but
feature was requested and it may be useful for certain tests.
Significant Bug Fixes
TR398v4: Fix disabling puncturing at end of the test (when using helper
script. As work-around, helper script can use 'puncturing' as well as
'puncture' for the key.
Known Limitations
Multiple stations on the 'combined' phy on mtk7996 radios
has stability problems, especially after many admin up and down.
These problems are not seen when using the single-phy radios.
There was no combined phy at all in earlier releases, so while we
do want to fix this, it is not really a regression.
Virtual stations (more than one station per radio) have problems
when connecting to AP that does OFDMA. Work-arounds include disabling OFDMA
on the AP or forcing the virtual stations to support only VHT instead of AX.
This is probably a hardware limitation and is unlikely to be fixed with currently
available radios.
