A new option (trace) has been added to the netem command. If the trace option is used, the values for packet delay etc. are read from a pregenerated trace file, afterwards the packets are processed by the normal netem functions. The packet action values are readout from the trace file in user space and sent to kernel space via configfs. Sorry, yesterday, this was the old version, this here is now the new version! After our patches from 2nd and 22th of August we have integrated the comments from Stephen and hope we are on the right way now. We are looking forward for any comments, feedback and suggestions!
