Hello,
I am trying to use dummynet to simulate different network links and
demonstrate
application level performance for a variety of scenarios. The first
test is three
ftp file transfers over a simulated 56k modem as per below:
iifconfig lo0 mtu 1500
fconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.100
ipfw -q add 1 pipe 1 ip from any to 127.0.0.100
ipfw -q add 2 pipe 2 ip from 127.0.0.100 to any
ipfw -q pipe 1 config bw 33kbit/s queue 0 delay 40ms
ipfw -q pipe 2 config bw 56kbit/s queue 0 delay 112ms
The results seem strange ... larger file sizes seem to have a slower
transfer rate,
where I would have thought that steady-state transfers would have been
reached
for the larger files. Are these results logical? Have I done something
silly with the
pipe configs?
