Hi, i have a question if linux is able to do the same thing that commercial wan simulators do (which cost 7000 $ or more). Basicly i want to use the following setup. Linux Router Machine 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1 Eth0 192.168.10.1 Eth5 192.168.2.1 Eth1 192.168.100.1 WEB Server. 192.168.3.1 Eth2 192.168.4.1 Eth3 192.168.5.1 Eth4 --------------- |Incoming Interfaces Ext If |Test Clients | -> | Eth0 256 kbit, 250 ms lat Eth5 -> 100 mbit net |_____________| | Eth1 512 kbit, 100 ms lat Eth5 -> 100 mbit net | Eth2 1 mbit, 50 ms lat Eth5 -> 100 mbit net | Eth3 2 mbit, 40 ms lat Eth5 -> 100 mbit net | Eth4 10 mbit, 10 ms lat Eth5 -> 100 mbit net Basicly i want to be able from the test client to access a web application on the 100 mbit network but with a latency and bandwidth that simulates different WAN links. So for instance i want to be able from the test client to set default gw, any of the incoming interfaces in the linux machine. Then i want to send a HTTP request from 192.168.0.1 Client to 192.168.100.1 Server, and get the bandwidth restricted and also that the linux box shall add latency on all packets going through. Another "Wish/Feature" is that from the test client, it shall be possible to send the Web Request against any of the incoming interfaces with a PORT specification, for instance 192.168.4.1:8080 and it will be rerouted to192.168.100.1:8080 with the added latency and bandwidth restriction. Am i completely lost here, or is it so that this is possible to do in Linux ??
