The network emulator module ("netem") does it very nicely. The problem is, it's a traffic control queue discipline, and thus only works on egress traffic. Actually, after having found some more docs, the whole business of nested qdiscs is starting to make more sense. A classful qdisc just chooses among a number of sub-queues when a "dequeue" request from the device for more data to send arrives. The result is a tree of qdiscs, with classless qdiscs at the leaves. But this means that it makes no sense to have a child of a classless qdisc. And yet the netem examples are full of such things, e.g.: ttp://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Netem#Rate_control When does netem ever pull from the "child" queue? _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
