tcconfig
Table of Contents
A Simple tc command wrapper tool. Easy to set up traffic control of network bandwidth/latency/packet loss/packet-corruption to a network interface.
Apply traffic shaping rules to specific targets:
- Outgoing/Incoming packets
- Source/Destination IP-address/network (IPv4/IPv6)
- Source/Destination ports
Moreover, exclude from shaping rules from specific targets:
- Source/Destination IP-address/network (IPv4/IPv6)
- Source/Destination ports
The following parameters can set to network interfaces:
- Network bandwidth rate
[G/M/K bps]
- Network latency
[microseconds/milliseconds/seconds/minutes]
- Packet loss rate
[%]
- Packet corruption rate
[%]
- Packet duplicate rate
[%]
- Packet reordering rate
[%]
tcset
is a command to add traffic control rule to a network interface (device).
# tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps
You can use time units (such as us/sec/min/etc.) to designate delay time.
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms
# tcset eth0 --delay 10sec
# tcset eth0 --delay 0.5min
You can also use the following units:
- m/min/mins/minute/minutes
- s/sec/secs/second/seconds
- ms/msec/msecs/millisecond/milliseconds
- us/usec/usecs/microsecond/microseconds
# tcset eth0 --loss 0.1
# tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps --delay 100ms --loss 0.1
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.10
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.0/24 --port 80
tcdel
is a command to delete traffic shaping rules from a network interface (device).
You can delete all of the shaping rules for the eth0
with -a
/--all
option:
# tcdel eth0 --all
tcshow
is a command to display the current traffic control settings for network interface(s).
# tcset eth0 --delay 10 --delay-distro 2 --loss 0.01 --rate 0.25M --network 192.168.0.10 --port 8080
# tcset eth0 --delay 1 --loss 0.02 --rate 500K --direction incoming
# tcshow eth0
