Hi All,

I would like to be able to simulate network congestion and delay on
tcp/udp connections between two hosts. I would need to simulate packet
lost and packet delay.

I think I would need to use a Linux box with two network cards to act as
a pass-through ethernet bridge. Is it the case? Does this how-to guide
provides good information in this area?

Hi Stef and others,

Thanks. The NISTNET looks like a very decent package. I have tried it briefly on a Red Hat 7.2 and it seems to work fine.

I have another basic question and I would if anyone could help me out.

Basically, I am trying a setup a Linux router between two local subnets, 192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.1.1/24. My Linux box has two ethernet cards, eth0 has IP address 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and eth1 has IP address 192.168.1.1 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0). Now I wish my Linux box to be able to route traffic between eth0 and eth1.

I have modified '/etc/sysctl.conf' to,

# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

However, it doesn't seem to work right now. Is there anything else I need to do? I wish to set it up quickly and would appreciate any advice!

Thank you.

Tony Cheung
