Traffic Shaping Blues


Hi,

I mailed this list a while ago asking about how to simulate a 64K leased
line on one linux box (e.g. routing between two ethernet cards). I have set
up kernel 2.1.66 to do Traffic Shaping and IP forwarding. Unfortunately the
TS only seems to act a a bandwidth limiter, i.e. it does not simulate the
31mS latency I get on pings over a diginet line.

At the moment I am resorting to the following setup

  X.Y.10.0          X.Y.11.0
    --------       ----------
           |       |
       eth0|       |eth1
         ---------------
         |             |
         | Machine B   | 
         |             |
         ---------------
           |       |
       ppp0|       |ppp1  (Null modem lines)
           |       |
         ---------------
         |             |
         | Machine A   | 
         |             |
         ---------------
               |eth0
               |
               |X.Y.12.0

Does anyone know a better way to do this?
