Hello my Friends,

According to My Boss:

Sattelite Connection have high latency and packet lose and that will effect the work of some servers on the network.

Any Advice will be Appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use WAN-Bridge Live-CD, i use it often.

You can easily set your bandwidth, delay and packet loss percentage.

You can find it there :

also a friend send me this message regarding the same issue

"""

The way to simulate delay is using Linux iptables function.

The linux system will be put in the middle of the link to generate the delay.

We can use PCs which installed Linux  or routers which installed OpenWRT or DD-WRT to do this.

The ports requirements depend on how many links you need to test at one time. For example, test 4 links you need at least 8 ports with linux at the same time.

Here is some commander tips:

! add two ports into bridge.

brctl addbr br_test

brctl addif br_test eth0

brctl addif br_test eth1

!forward all packets

ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up

ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up

!simulate 25ms delay

tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem delay 25ms

so which is easier and give better result ?
