well you could always set up a 2mb connection using a serial DB60 back to back.
Then run it at MAX with WRED set up in the default class referencing a child policy which does the shaping.

now you need to manipulate the random-detect to always random drop regardless of queue size, if you set the minimum size to 0 I believe now you are in business, you may need to put in a low bandwidth statement to fool MQC.

Whats the general opinion ?

Interesting to lab it.

One thing, trying to recreate the .25 second delay for hitting the satellite and the .25 for the return will be a lot tougher ... unless you have a very long serial cable (he he)

IP over satellite links? That sounds soooo 70's... :)

Hi guys,
 I have an OT that seems a bit interesting.
 A guy at work is writing a paper for his Master's thesis about
Satellite link communications. He has to build a demonstration of the
link, and we are looking for something where we can simulate a 2meg link
with random packet loss and traffic shaping. The traffic shaping is no
problem... but how does one introduce random packet loss into a link?
Has anyone needed to do this before? Also, does anyone have a
recommendation for a detailed book covering TCP/IP? Thanks

Daniel Sheedy
