From 661b79725fea030803a89a16cda506bac8eeca78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:04:21 +0000 Subject: netem: revised correlated loss generator This is a patch originated with Stefano Salsano and Fabio Ludovici. It provides several alternative loss models for use with netem. This patch adds two state machine based loss models.
