I should find the way to drop few packets in the same window (is > there any traffic generator like SOCK that allows me to drop some > packets?). To simulate what you want you could first try with a small queue size (because TCP is bursty), then you could even do minor modifications to dummynet to set some histeresys on the queue -- drop once above the high water mark, and keep dropping until the queue goes below low water. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
