The downside of tc is that it is kinda weird and tricky to get it to operate on incoming packets.
I had to write my own emulator once to simulate a specific commercial satellite terminal. The terminal had the behavior of queuing up packets until they hit a certain threshold or exceeded a time limit and then bursting them out in a big blob. It also "helpfully" reordered small packets to the front of the queue for better latency, which made TCP stacks very cross.
- bogomipz 3y agoI thought tc only worked on outbound. How did you get it to work on inbound packets?
- jandrese 3y agoThere is a way to do it by setting up another queue and redirecting inbound packets into that queue, but I don't remember the specifics. I do recall quite a bit of trouble getting it to work. If you search for it you should be able to find some topics on the subject.
