Simulate Network Faults
This document introduces how to use Chaosd to simulate network faults. The simulations can be completed by modifying network routing and traffic flow control using iptables, ipsets, tc, etc.
note
Make sure the NET_SCH_NETEM module is installed in the Linux kernel. If you are using CentOS, you can install the module through the kernel-modules-extra package. Most other Linux distributions have installed it already by default.
