Put a device (typically a Raspberry Pi) inline of your WAN connections, to be used to artifically increase/decrease Latency, Loss, Jitter, or Bandwidth using a web form.
Original idea taken from: http://www.uebi.net/howtos/rpiwanem.htm but this now ports it to an easy executable to be run from any device without a need for any manual configurations.
- Linux
As tcgui utilizes the linux command 'tc', only Linux is supported
For any linux based system just run the command below to install the latest version:
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nopg/tcgui/main/get.sh)"- Just run
./tcguiand the pc/rpi will now be running a webserver, defaults to port 8888 but can be changed: - Run
./tcgui -p 80to use port 80 (likely requires sudo)
You should have a device with 3 separate NIC's. Choose one for your 'out of band' management. The remaining 2 ports will be used to 'bridge' the connection between your WAN and Router:
eth0 (mgmt)
|
WAN <--> eth1 :YOUR DEVICE: eth2 <--> Router
Example /etc/network/interfaces config:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.200/24 # Out of Band Management/Device IP
gateway 10.10.10.1
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth1 eth2
bridge_stp off
address 192.168.250.250/24 # Dummy/fake IP to keep tc happy
gateway 192.168.250.1 # Dummy/fake IP to keep tc happy
