[Coral-dev] CoralReef 3.8.3 released

[coral-info@caida.org]

CoralReef 3.8.3 is now available at
http://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/coralreef/.

CoralReef is a comprehensive software package from CAIDA for passive
monitoring normal network interfaces as well as special purpose ATM
and POS interfaces, and reading "crl", "tsh", pcap (tcpdump), and
dagtools tracefiles.  It includes FreeBSD drivers for Apptel POINT
(OC12 and OC3 ATM) and FORE FATM (OC3 ATM) cards, the ability to
work with drivers for Endace DAG (OC3, OC12 and OC48, POS and ATM)
cards on linux, programming APIs for C and perl, and software
applications for capture, analysis, and reporting of ATM, IP, and
TCP/UDP traffic.

This is a bugfix release.  Differences between 3.8.2 and 3.8.3 include:

* Fixed misinterpretation of DAG loss counter that caused CoralReef
  applications to underreport lost packets or occasionally report a negative
  number of lost packets from a DAG interface.  (The correct values were
  always recorded in trace files by dagsnap or crl_to_dag, so fixed versions
  of CoralReef apps will report correct values when run on old traces.)
* Fixed: in crl_* commands with rotating output files with a ".gz" suffix,
  the output was not automatically gzipped (although it could be forced with
  the -Cgzip option).  (broken in 3.8.1)
* Fixed bugs in new dropinterval interval option that could kill process
  in first or second dropinterval.
* Fixed 'actual pkts' output of crl_flowest to give proper values.
