This extension can be used to simulate special link layer characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original packet size and artificial cell information. packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something else. cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes, based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each. Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead (e.g. 5 byte header per fragment). Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per cell overhead 5 byte): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5 Signed-off-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
