Candela LANforge 5.5.3 正式發布

邁訊科技代理的 Candela LANforge 於 2026 年 9 月 26 日正式推出 LANforge 5.5.3。本次版本針對 Wi-Fi 測試平台帶來多項重要功能更新,包含 BBF TR-527 Mesh Test 初步支援、全新 LANforge Manager WebGUI、TR-398 Issue 4 測試更新、Real Application Test 強化,以及 Wi-Fi 7 Intel BE200 / eMLSR 支援改善,進一步擴充 LANforge 在 Wi-Fi 7、Mesh Wi-Fi、多用戶效能與真實應用情境的自動化測試能力。

TR-527 Mesh Wi-Fi 測試支援

LANforge 5.5.3 新增 Broadband Forum TR-527 Mesh Test Suite 基礎支援,測試項目涵蓋:

  • Rate vs. Range
  • Roaming
  • Latency
  • Stability
  • Multicast
  • QoS
  • Multiple Station Performance
  • Maximum TCP Throughput
  • Orbit
  • 32-Station Performance
  • MLO-eMLSR
  • MLO-STR

TR-527 將 Mesh Wi-Fi、Wi-Fi 7 與 MLO 等新一代無線技術納入效能驗證架構,可協助 AP、Gateway、Mesh Router 等設備進行更完整的實驗室自動化測試。

TR-398 測試功能持續升級

本次版本同步更新 Broadband Forum TR-398 測試能力,測試執行及 Pass/Fail 判定已同步至 TR-398 Issue 4 Final Draft 規範。

LANforge 5.5.3 同時開始支援使用第三方實體裝置進行部分 TR-398 測試,目前已驗證 Android Phone,可應用於:

  • Rate vs. Range
  • Band Steering
  • Bi-Directional UDP
  • Maximum Throughput

讓測試環境除了 LANforge Virtual Station 外,也能逐步納入真實終端設備進行驗證。

全新 LANforge Manager WebGUI

LANforge 5.5.3 導入全新的 LANforge Manager WebGUI,提供更簡化的測試設定、執行、視覺化及報告操作介面。

新版 WebGUI 已開始支援 Station / VAP 建立,以及 WiFi Capacity、Port Reset、Client Visualization 等功能,並可直接透過 Web UI 執行 Packet Sniffing 與封包分析。

透過 Web-based 操作介面,可降低 LANforge 測試環境的操作複雜度,並為後續更多自動化測試功能整合提供新的操作平台。

Real Application 與 Interop 測試強化

5.5.3 亦新增 Interop Test Web UI,可透過 Web 介面設定及執行 Throughput、Interoperability、FTP、HTTP、QoS、Multicast、Mixed Traffic、Real Browser、Video Streaming、Ping 及 RvR 等測試。

Real Application Test 則進一步支援:

Zoom / Microsoft Teams Conference Call 與 YouTube Streaming

可在支援的作業系統與實際終端裝置上模擬真實應用流量,使 Wi-Fi 測試不再只侷限於傳統 TCP/UDP Throughput,更能評估實際使用情境下的網路品質。

同時,Android 裝置增加 EAP Enterprise Wi-Fi 連線支援,iOS App 則強化 Layer 4 HTTP/HTTPS 操作與穩定性,macOS 新增 TCP、UDP 及 Multicast 的 IPv6 支援。

Wi-Fi 7 與高密度 Client 測試改善

在 Wi-Fi 7 測試方面,LANforge 5.5.3 支援更新的 Linux Kernel 與 Driver,包含 Intel BE200 version 107 firmware,以改善系統穩定性及 eMLSR 支援。

針對 MediaTek MT7996 平台,Candela 亦改善大量 Station 建立時的 MCU message handling,使單一 Radio 可更快速且穩定地完成最高 108 Stations 的 association,進一步強化 LANforge 在高密度 Multi-client Wi-Fi 測試環境中的應用能力。

此外,Generic Endpoint 現在除了 iperf3 外,也新增 iperf2 支援,並持續改善 AP-Auto、Dataplane/RvR、WiFi Mobility 等既有測試功能。

LANforge Wi-Fi 自動化測試平台

Meshlink 邁訊科技與 Candela Technology 持續提供完整的 Wi-Fi 測試及驗證方案。LANforge 可協助網通設備製造商針對 AP、Gateway、Router、Mesh Wi-Fi、CPE 等產品執行自動化測試,涵蓋 WiFi Capacity、Rate vs. Range (RvR)、RvRvO、Roaming、Mesh、RFC2544、TR-398,以及新加入的 TR-527 Mesh Wi-Fi 測試。

面對 Wi-Fi 7 所帶來的 MLO、eMLSR、STR、320 MHz Channel Bandwidth、4096-QAM 與高密度 Multi-client 等測試需求,Meshlink 與 Candela 將持續提供相對應的測試平台及自動化驗證方案。

如需了解 LANforge 5.5.3 軟體更新、TR-398 / TR-527 測試方案、Wi-Fi 7 測試或 Demo,歡迎與 Meshlink 邁訊科技聯繫。

Release 5.5.3  

  • Core Infrastructure

  • Support 7.2.0+ kernel for latest drivers, including Intel be200 version 107 firmware that improves stability and eMLSR support.
  • Add management path message compression between LANforge Manager and LANforge Resource processes (for many resource OSs, but not all at this time).
  • Add Venue testing logic to make it easier to quickly discover and use many APs all using the same SSID and authentication.
  • Add initial support for HaLow (only in 6.18.44+ kernel, not in 7.2.0+ kernel)
  • Improve MCU message flood with mtk7996 station bringup to allow 108 stations per radio to associate fast and clean. 6.18.44 and higher kernels.
  • Generic enpdoint now supports iperf2 (as well as iperf3).
  • General improvements to AP-Auto, Dataplane/RvR, WiFi Mobility, and other GUI tests.
  • Added IPv6 support for Mac-OS.
  • TR-398/TR-527

  • Add TR-527 Mesh Test suite basic support. Requires software license to enable. Rate-vs-Range, Roaming, Latency, Stability, Multicast, QoS, Multiple-Station-Performance, Maximum-TCP-Throughput, Orbit, 32-Station-Performance, MLO-eMLSR, MLO-STR (This test plan is still under construction at time of release.)
  • TR-398: Support using third-party device (Android phone tested so far) in these tests: Rate-vs-Range, Bandsteering, Bi-Directional UDP, Max-Throughput
  • TR-398: Sync pass/fail and test execution with the final draft of TR398 issue-4 test specification.
  • Interop

  • Added Web UI for configuring and executing Interop tests: Throughput, Interoperability, FTP, HTTP, QoS, Multicast, Mixed Traffic, Real Browser, Video Streaming, Ping, and RvR. Requires software license.
  • Added Real Application Test support for Zoom and Teams conference calls and YouTube streaming across supported OS.
  • Better iOS app support: Layer-4 (http, https and related protocol support), improved stability. Use usb connectivity instead of bluetooth keyboard emulation for at least most of the phone interaction.
  • Better Android app support: Automation to deal with new behaviour from certain Android devices.
  • Android supports enhanced EAP (Enterprise) wifi connectivity.
  • Better Windows application support: Improved install times and stability fixes.
  • Add IPv6 support for MAC-OS (TCP, UDP, Multicast)
  • Add new LANforgeManager web-GUI. Requires software license to enable.
  • LANforge Manager WebGUI

  • Introduced a new LANforge Web UI for simplified configuration, test execution, visualization, and simplified test reports for virtual clients. Requires software license.
  • Added support for Station and VAP creation, and test cases like Wifi-Capacity, Port Reset, Client Visualization.
  • Added packet sniffing and analysis capabilities through the Web UI.
  • Significant Bug Fixes

  • Fix mis-counting of 'tx failed' packets in mtk7996 driver: It was counting retried packets as failures, when instead it should just leave the retry counts in its own counter for higher level reporting to deal with.
  • Fix related tx failed percentage calculating in GUI.
  • Fix (hopefully!) mtk7996 and mtk7915 radio tx hang.
  • Fix a slow memory leak in layer-3 endpoints, introduced by accident around 2023.
  • Fix problem on some Windows where multiple non-existent wlan ports would be reported.
  • Known Limitations

  • 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.
  • Real Application Tests may be impacted by third-party application UI changes or device-vendor variations.
  • Web UI does not currently support iOS controls.
