Summary
tcconfig <https://github.com/thombashi/tcconfig>
__ is a tc command wrapper. Make it easy to set up traffic control of network bandwidth/latency/packet-loss/packet-corruption/etc. to a network-interface/Docker-container(veth).

Traffic control
Setup traffic shaping rules
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Easy to apply traffic shaping rules to specific networks:
- Outgoing/Incoming packets
- Source/Destination IP-address/network (IPv4/IPv6)
- Source/Destination ports
Available Parameters
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following parameters can be set to network interfaces:
- Network bandwidth rate
[G/M/K bps]
- Network latency
[microseconds/milliseconds/seconds/minutes]
- Packet loss rate
[%]
- Packet corruption rate
[%]
- Packet duplicate rate
[%]
- Packet reordering rate
[%]
- Packet limit count
[COUNT]
Targets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Network interfaces: e.g.
eth0
- Docker container (
veth
corresponding with a container)

Usage
Set traffic control (tcset
command)
tcset
is a command to add a traffic control rule to a network interface (device).
e.g. Set a limit on bandwidth up to 100Kbps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps
e.g. Set network latency
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use time units (such as us/sec/min/etc.) to designate delay time.
Set 100 milliseconds of network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms
Set 10 seconds of network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 10sec
Set 0.5 minutes (30 seconds) network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 0.5min
You can also use the following time units:
.. table::
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| Unit | Available specifiers (str) |
+============+==========================================================+
|hours |``h``/``hour``/``hours`` |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|minutes |``m``/``min``/``mins``/``minute``/``minutes`` |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|seconds |``s``/``sec``/``secs``/``second``/``seconds`` |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|milliseconds|``ms``/``msec``/``msecs``/``millisecond``/``milliseconds``|
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
|microseconds|``us``/``usec``/``usecs``/``microsecond``/``microseconds``|
+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
e.g. Set 0.1% packet loss
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --loss 0.1%
e.g. All of the above settings at once
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps --delay 100ms --loss 0.1%
e.g. Specify the IP address of the traffic control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.10
e.g. Specify the IP network and port of traffic control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.0/24 --port 80
Set traffic control to a docker container
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Execute tcconfig
with --docker
option on a Docker host:
.. code-block:: console
# tcset <container name or ID> --docker ...
You could use --src-container
/--dst-container
options to specify the source/destination container.
Set traffic control within a docker container
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to run a container with --cap-add NET_ADMIN
option
if you would like to set a tc rule within a container:
.. code-block:: console
docker run -d --cap-add NET_ADMIN -t <docker image>
A container image that builtin tcconfig can be available at https://hub.docker.com/r/thombashi/tcconfig/
Delete traffic control (tcdel
command)
tcdel
is a command to delete traffic shaping rules from a network interface (device).
e.g. Delete traffic control of eth0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can delete all of the shaping rules for the eth0
with -a
/--all
option:
.. code-block:: console
# tcdel eth0 --all
Display traffic control configurations (tcshow
command)
tcshow
is a command to display the current traffic control settings for network interface(s).
Example
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
# tcset eth0 --delay 10ms --delay-distro 2 --loss 0.01% --rate 0.25Mbps --network 192.168.0.10 --port 8080
# tcset eth0 --delay 1ms --loss 0.02% --rate 500Kbps --direction incoming
# tcshow eth0
{
"eth0": {
"outgoing": {
"dst-network=192.168.0.10/32, dst-port=8080, protocol=ip": {
"filter_id": "800::800",
"delay": "10.0ms",
"delay-distro": "2.0ms",
"loss": "0.01%",
"rate": "250Kbps"
}
},
"incoming": {
"protocol=ip": {
"filter_id": "800::800",
"delay": "1.0ms",
"loss": "0.02%",
"rate": "500Kbps"
}
}
}
}
