I believe you’re more interested in solutions for problems when testing Network Address Translation (NAT) routers. This post intends to help you in handling issues when testing (devices behind) NAT...

Rigorously testing a network device or distributed service requires complex, realistic network test environments. Linux Traffic Control (tc) with Network Emulation (netem) provides the building blocks to create an impairment node that simulates such networks. This three-part series describes how an impairment node can be set up using Linux Traffic...
