One of the design ideas behind the three sections of #TNCLabNet is that the three headquarters are spread around the globe in follow the sun ☀️ and / or moon 🌙 support, ideally in time zones that are eight hours apart.

@gumnos brings up a good point. I should try to incorporate (artificial) latency to emulate things on separate continents.

I bet there is something in QoS on Linux that could do this.

I wonder if there is anything in IOS that can induce similar latency.

It seems like there might not be a Cisco IOS solution for adding latency to connections.

I can’t say as I’m surprised. After all, QoS is about adjusting priority and reordering use of existing resources.

That being said, I think that I can likely punt out to Linux and add some artificial latency with the `tc` command.

@drscriptt of course you can use tc to simulate delay, packet loss etc. Look at "tc netem". I used it many tines to simulate traffic delays etc. of GEO satellite links

@LaF0rge Ty for confirming. 🙂

I was fairly sure I could. But I’ve not looked at tc in a LONG time.
