How do I increase my ping time?

Post by righteous_trespasser »

This may seem like a strange request, but I would like to find out how I can greatly increase my ping time over our network. I am busy testing our software and it runs through a network in some places which have real slow LAN connections, I would like to simulate that on our local network but I don't know how I can do that ...

Try running 2 firewalls in one computer at the same time.

If I understand correctly ping gets the lowest priority when it comes to latency so I'm not sure you will really get accurate information to finding a trouble spot in the network by using ping.

Can someone correct me if i'm wrong?

you'll need some sort of appliance that can emulate network congestion, etc. At my last job we used a product by Shunra called Storm Console that let you simulate various network conditions, generate packet loss, storms etc. using visio to construct your scenarios. Pretty cool stuff but fairly expensive.
