Description
This document
(.pdf) explains how we have been able to put NetEm at work in our NFSv4
testing environment.
{NetEm is a tool (derived from NIST-Net) aimed to emulate a network
with several tunable parameters (delay, packet loss, packet reordering,
packet duplication, ...).}
Our conclusion is that this tool is easy to put at work with
fresh kernels already patched with NFSv4 from CITI and that it provides
useful features for
testing NFSv4 over (an emulated) WAN.
NetEm requires you to add one computer (plus 2 network boards) in
your testing environment and to define route tables. Quite easy: the
document explains everything for people with only basic skills in
networking (if not, please let me know).
