FreeBSD 9.1 – virtual wan simulator „WANsim“

Sonntag, September 1st, 2013

FreeBSD_logo   For a experiment I needed a wan simulator so I decided to build one – using FreeBSD makes this very easy. Specifically what I wanted was a vmware virtual machine capable of Layer 2 wan Simulation it is easier because theres no routing or subnet changes to mess around with just simply a single subnet with some hosts further away than others. It had to be a VM as my whole lab environment is virtual so it makes sense to just put a vm between 2 vswitches and get the restricted bandwidth increased latency and packet loss
