With that out of the way – I wanted to spend some time in this post talking about the command line tool found on linux systems called
tc
. We've talked abouttc
before when we discussed creating some network/traffic simulated topologies and it worked awesome for that use case. If you recall from that earlier posttc
is short for Traffic Control and allows users to configureqdiscs
. Aqdisc
is short for Queuing Discipline. I like to think of it as manipulating the Linux kernels packet scheduler.
