A simple yet fully fledged workspace to play with tc in a docker container.
While watching https://youtu.be/Ylf4J736JIg, I needed a playground to experiment with tc and other commands allowing user-space tweaks of the linux network stack. Docker provides a sandbox beside the network of my laptop, preventing any potential impactful disaster in case an experiment goes wrong. Jupyter Notebook is used as a practical tool to save both the inputs and outputs of all experiments.
