Bandwidth Throttle?

But since mine's rf, all I have to do to throttle it is to persuade a flock of birds to fly in front of it, or position a potted plant between my antenna and the access point. I can vary the speed by regulating the amount of water I give the bush.

Does anyone know of a bandwidth throttle that could be used to slow down your bandwidth? That is, I would like to be able to test 28K and 56K speed connections but I only have a 1.5 megabit cable modem. Is there anything that I can run with would all me to set a bandwidth locally coming in and out of the machine? Rocky Moore <><

NIST Net can throttle bandwidth and simulate higher latencies. http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/itg/nistnet/

The ruleset is ip/port based and the filter driver lacks application level filtering unfortunately, but I hope that they'll add those features in the future. If you ever find something better than this, please let me know :)

This brings me good memories of the 286 computers that had the "Turbo" button, to slow down the machine, so you could still play your games that had a fixed timing loop to make it run at a proper speed. :) Running things at 10Mhz that were supposed to run at 4.77Mhz was fun.

It's true! When I first set this up, the access point was 8 miles away or so in another state. Out here in the middle of the desert we have few trees, and the only thing visible on the horizon was one scrawny palm tree growing directly in my line of sight about 4 miles away. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it rained and my signal began dropping. We eventually figured out that the dormant palm was a nuisance, though not serious, but once the sap began to rise in the trunk after water made it to the roots it became a ground rod. Grounded objects look like bright shiny mirrors to microwaves. Redirecting my antenna to a new access point solved the problem, but I was sorely tempted for a time to sneak out in the night with a chain saw.:)

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls;
