Database Downgrade Protection
With Release 4.0.x, CTC prevents restoration of a database written by a software version newer than
what the TCC, TCC+, or TCC2 is running. CTC issues a warning, but allows you to proceed, when
reverting to an older software version.

Proxy Server Port Reduction
In previous releases, CTC was able to manage nodes behind routers that performed network address
translation (NAT) but required that intermediate routers allow connections on many ports. Additionally,
these intermediate routers needed to be configured to allow connections to be initiated from both CTC
and the GNE. With Release 4.0.x, CTC can now manage nodes behind routers that perform NAT or port
address translation (PAT). Intermediate routers need only be configured to allow connections from CTC
to the GNE on ports 80 (HTTP) and 1080 (SOCKS) and packets for established connections from the
GNE to CTC. The superuser can enable this functionality on the node level Provisioning > Network tab.

Ethernet Tx and Rx Utilization
The node view port utilization values for Release 4.0.x now separate transmit values from receive values.
This affords you a clearer picture of actual utilization levels in this view, even when levels are very small.

DCC Expansion
An important benefit of the TCC2 card offered with Release 4.0.x is that each node in which TCC2s are
installed can terminate up to 32 section DCCs. Routing abilities of the system are also enhanced to
ensure that the TCC2 can effectively manage the increased amount of DCC traffic resulting from the
change in the number of possible DCC terminations. This gives your network greater capacity for
creating and administering path protection configurations.

BLSR J1 CTC
In Release 4.0.x, several enhancements have been made to improve support for C2 and unmatched J1
path trace with BLSR protection switching. In summary, the following have been addressed.
