We're setting up a testbed which will be used for simulting our WAN and testing pending changes before pushing the changes out to active remote equipment in other cities (hmmm... we have 2 labs in Calgary, maybe Theo could be our pleasant help desk guy there... ha! ;))
Anyhow, I really want to add delay to the links which simulate the WAN runs. Searching around I see a lot of references to dummynet for FreeBSD but I was hoping for more of a built-in OpenBSD solution, something built into pf would be cool. Most of our labs connect through CANARIE (think Internet2 in the US) and have gigabit links out with few at 100 Mbit. We could fake some crap bandwidth with altq but that wouldn't be realworld, I really want added latency not an arbitratry upper limit on bandwidth with queues. I'd prefer to not go the FreeBSD-dummynet route but if it's the best tool for the job it'll have to do. Packetstorm's "IntarWeb-In-Teh-Box" simulators are overkill for our needs and wallet. Any suggestions? Gord
