Well,
I came here with a strange problem.
Let''s have the following topology.
Equipment A (IPAddr 192.168.1.x) - Interface 1 Linux Router
(192.168.1.1)-Interface 2 Linux Router (192.168.2.1) - Equipment B (IPAddr
192.168.2.x)
Quite simple, isn''t it?
What I want...
I want a program onto the Linux Router which can modify the values of ping
and packet loss which are obtained between equipments A and B.
I want to ... shuffle the packets, to make, for example, that always packets
5,6 and 7 from a raw of 8 packets sent from device A to B to reach device B
after the arrival of packet 8, etc.
Whats the point?
I want to inform the customers which are using those equipments/applications
that if the ping is increasing, let''s say, over 180 ms, or, if the
packet
loss is increased over 30% or the jitter, or... they will loose
connectivity/they will experience [...] problems.
And, in order for me to have this informations, I have to emulate diferent
aspects of a real network.
So... how can I do this?
Any ideas?
BTW - it''s not a matter of bandwidth here...
Bandwidth used can be something between 64k and 256k, for example, but I am
not interested in increasing trafic over the interfaces in order to emulate
network losses/problems.
BRGS,
