We are pleased to announce DIFFUSE v0.2, our second release of a system enabling FreeBSD's IPFW firewall subsystem to classify IP traffic based on statistical traffic properties and separate flow classification and treatment. This release contains a number of bug fixes as well as a number of new features. Most notably version 0.2 contains tools to build classifier models, and a feature module and classifier model to classify Skype traffic. Furthermore, there is a Linux version of DIFFUSE now. The project site is http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/diffuse and the source code can be downloaded directly from http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/diffuse/downloads.html. The software was developed as part of the DIFFUSE research project at Swinburne University's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures. The project has been made possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley. We welcome your feedback and hope you enjoy playing with the code and tools. Cheers, Sebastian Zander and Grenville Armitage http://caia.swin.edu.au
