Hello, Travelling as a stranger in the strange land of WindowsNT I have encountered a problem I'm hoping my faithful friend FreeBSD can help me solve. We have an application demonstrating less than impressive performance over a wide area link. There is a configuration I belive will help but for various reasons am unable to test without undo difficulty. I would like to test the solution locally using a FreeBSD machine to introduce the ~80ms latency of the 512K WAN into a local TCP link. I am writing to request suggestions as to how to procede. I am considering tweaking the system to buffer packets and forward them after a specified delay, or perhaps dropping incoming packets with probability P. A pointer to an existing package or related document would of course be highly desirable. I am not much acquainted with TCP/IP networking internals but am an experienced Unix/C programmer willing to 'dive in and break things'. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks gps George P Swanton CSC/BIW-LPD17 (207)-442-3021 gswanton@biw.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
