Simulating network latency
We have a proprietary application which will not work properly over our WAN, even though there is more than enough bandwidth. It works fine on a LAN. We suspect a latency problem, mainly because we can't think of anything else it might be. We are not getting any help from the vendor. Is there a way to set up a machine with two network cards, which will simply forward every packet from one card to the other, but will introduce an arbitrary delay period? Ideally, the delay period should be adjustable, and optionally different in the two directions. Or is there some other way to do the same thing? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We've done it in our lab here for that purpose. KeS ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
