Re: latency in a lab scenario [7:6453]

Daniel,
   There are different modular interfaces you can purchase for the RDS.
i.e.. we have RS-449 and RS-232. The RDS sits between two routed interfaces
and acts as the DCE. The cables you need are DTE for the router and the
interface style you purchase for the RDS (should be the standard cables you
use now). The bandwidth and latency are changed through dip switches on the
front panel of the RDS.
The only downside we found was the bandwidth speed that tops out at
2.048 Mbps. Adtech has a more advanced product that can scale up but the
price difference is hefty.
We have been very happy with the product and it allows us to test
applications to specific what if scenarios. The tech support at East Coast
Datacom's was also very responsive any time we called in with questions.

Hope this helps
Aloha
Shawn

 Did this connection reqire any special cables or configuration? It appears
 to use standard V.35 DTE cables. Where does the line clocking come from?
 TIA

 Hi,

 I'm looking for ideas to induce latency in a lab scenario.
 More specifically to simulate latency between nodes in Seattle,
 Los Angeles, and Baltimore.  Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Francis

If your routers are connected serially, lower the clockrate on the DCE
interface to the desired speed.  If you want to introduce variable
latency, I'd have to think about it for a bit.  A simple way would be to
do FTP transfers or large extended pings from time to time to simulate
traffic.  There's probably a more automatic way to do it but my brain
hasn't quite engaged today.  

HTH,
John

Several companies make boxes that create latency in a serial link. The
really neat ones can also induce jitter, packet drops, and other likely line
faults. An affordable one is:

FWIW The manufacturer sells at list price. Some time after inquiring with
them an outside Rep called me and quoted about 70% of list. Sorry, I don't
have his name handy.
