Testbed: simulate delay and packet loss

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I do not own a MikroTik router, nor the RouterOS. I searched the FAQ and the forum, but couldn’t find an answer to my question. I would like to use a MikroTik to cause packet loss and simulate delay between two Ethernet interfaces, each on a unique subnet. The product I’m testing is in the satellite world, so I need to create delay of approximately 600ms to 1.8 seconds. For packet loss, I would like to be able to specify a particular Bit Error Rate, say somewhere between 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 1,000,000.

I currently do this work with a Soekris router running monowall, but the software lacks the features of a “real” router like the MikroTik. Thanks for any advice.

Robert

Hey there,

Can you give me a brief on how you do this with monowall and I can then try and tell you if that same technique is possible with mikrotik…

Sure. I do it by editing this screen.
