- The document outlines a development plan for Respina Shaper to expand globally by adopting shaping technologies to Respina and making a long-term investment in those technologies. - It discusses moving the PHP web application to other operating systems like FreeBSD for legal overseas sales while keeping the Linux version for the Iranian market, and developing comprehensive testing to evaluate competitors' products. - A focus on a vertical market model and less ambitious scheduling is recommended to reduce development time and issues compared to an overly aggressive initial estimate.

1. RESPINA SHAPER
D E V E L O P M E N T P L A N

2. WHERE WE ARE NOW?
A complicated PHP Web Application that sends TC HTB commands over
Linux Shell to perform Bandwidth Shaping operations.

3. WHERE WANT TO GO?
• Global Market
• Competing with Packeer, BlueCoat, Allot
• Problems to legally redistribute Linux and OpenSource software
• Market Standards
• Adopting shaping technologies to Respina, Long term investment in
technologies

4. TASK PRECEDENCE
Web Application
Linux Based Shaper
FreeBSD Shaper
Tests

5. SHAPER WEB APPLICATION
• Most of changes will affect web application.
• There’s two operating systems. Two implementation of Shaper
technology and two database system but one web application.
• Web Application must be extensible, flexible, maintainable.

6. SHAPER LINUX-BASED
• Conceptual version of Shaper
• Iranian version of Shaper, Keeping the Share in Iran market while
developing the more advanced version
• Test of Tests, While we are (almost) sure about the technologies in
Linux we can develop tests for in-house developed FreeBSD version of
Shaper
• Web Application Developer(s) can progress while we are preparing
FreeBSD version.
• Elimination of fancy features, Distinction between feasible and
unfeasible features.
• Exposure of development team to Shaping technologies.
• More relaxed environment to research and develop.
• Reinventing a wheel is a crime!
• Vast of wheel in OpenSource Shaper products.

7. FREE-BSD VERSION
• Legally possible to sale it overseas, sensitive selection of packages
frameworks, database regarding to licenses.
• Token Bucket implementation of Shaping for the first version.
Warm-Up in
Linux
Test
Develop in
FreeBSD

8. IMPORTANCE OF TESTS
• We can not test the Shaper in real network anymore.
• Evaluating competitors products
• Test should cover most of scenarios, protocols.
• Increasing development time (In long run)
• Fine grained testing, e.g Testing specific protocol.
• Unit Testing e.g Testing if old still features while adding a new features.

9. NEW TECHNOLOGY
• If the project involves new technology, add substantially to the schedule
-- 100% or more.
• Be realistic about whether the project is new or well-known. Has this
group of engineers really done something very similar to this several
times? (If not, this is new.)

10. FOCUS ON VERTICAL MODEL
• Easier marketing strategies
• Less development time and less headaches.

11. MOTIVATION TOOLS
• The project is deliberately scheduled too aggressively, as a way to get
people to work hard.
• The hope is that an unrealistic estimate will get everyone moving as fast
as possible.
• Project manager knows the schedule will probably slip, but believes
that the final result will be faster than giving people a more relaxed
schedule in the beginning.
• Reality – For any serious development organization, unrealistic
schedules make projects later.

12. • Development times do not always add and subtract cleanly.
• The total may be more, or less, then the sum of the parts.
• Moral -- New tools (or extra employees) are good, in the long run. They
can save you time on future projects.
• But there is a startup cost associated with new resources. You have to
spend significant time now to save time later.
