Use Linux Traffic Control as impairment node in a test environment (part 3)
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...
Measuring throughput: effect of used TCP settings
Measuring throughput using TCP seems an easy task: just send data over a TCP session and the protocol will automatically seek the maximum network capacity for you. If you’re in luck this will give you satisfying results, but what if it doesn’t? Exactly which parameters should you play with to...
