Hi Lars,

netem is an option, see http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/netem.
The papers at the end of the page are very informative.

There used to be a PHP based GUI for it, called phpnetemgui, but that is hopelessly outdated.

Another outdated and buggy option is NISTnet.

So, basically the pluming is there, now only if we could have some decent controls.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hello,
 
anyone knows a good network impairment generator software?
One that is using a PC with two NICs, on which you relay packets from one NIC to the other with user defined packet loss, jitter etc.
I used to use Netdisturb some time back.
Does anybody know something else? Possibly free software?
Windows or Linux based.
 
thanks,
Lars Ruoff
