Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to use Powershell commands to add network latency to my Windows Server systems to simulate application behaviors in production.

Something similar to the tc command with netem provided by Linux would help ...

Thanks.

Hi Moinak,

Netem appears to be a Network Emulation Tool. PowerShell doesn't offer you anything out of the box. You might have to write a script or get some tool capable of doing it.

Here are some:

Hi,

NTttcp*.exe will require download and then setting up firewall rules via UI to be used from command line, right? Is there any way it can be invoked silently in non-interactive mode, like what SSH does in Linux?

Thanks.
