This reminds me of the time I wanted to test packet loss for a VoIP app and used `tc` to introduce 95% packet loss on the office gateway and because of the packet loss I could not ssh into the box to turn it off... on Google scale.
- bowmessage 7y agoHow did you end up resolving your issue?
- xenospn 7y ago"Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?"
- vbsteven 7y agoThe gateway was running on a linux box in a closet somewhere in the building so I was able to go there physically to resolve the issue.
