You know, this tiny... - skintight project was made for two reasons:
1. Provide possibility to limit bandwidth of any internet adapter to consume lesser Internet. I know, i know… Nowadays it is - absurd. But…
2. Allow to simulate very slow and unreliable connections for testing web-app behaviour.
- MacOS 10.8.x, but i beleive - version does not matter as everything is based on pure
ipfw
TODO:
-
Basic Implementation. Set bandwidth. Revert changes. Show status.
-
Add linux wondershaper support
-
Add linux tc support
-
Cover with tests
-
Add option to zip command to add
You are more than welcome to take this unitard and do whathever … stahp! stahp! Not this, oh mercy…
p.s. the name of the gem is so cool, so, obviously i will reuse it later for something else :)
