Simulate Network Latency and Packet Drop In Linux

DZone

There may be a scenario when you want to test an application when the network is slow(we also call it high network latency). Or you are reproducing a customer scenario(having high network latency) where some anomalous behavior is observed. In the Chrome browser, we can easily Simulate a slower network connection.
