Re: Looking for a tool to simulate unreliable network connections

Hi,

Yes, use "tc" command from iproute package.

Or you can make a script to:

- Enable/Disable kernel forward in you router.
  echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
- Add/Drop static routes.
  route del default
- Reduce TTL in the MANGLE table.
- Enable/Disable firewall rules.
  The last two using iptables.

Depending on frequency of this command you can simulate a slow connection.

Bye!!!
