Augmented Traffic Control
Augmented Traffic Control is a network condition simulator and Linux traffic control interface. It emulates latency, packet loss, and bandwidth limits to test how applications perform under various network qualities.
The project provides a remote network shaping manager that allows users to apply and store network shaping profiles in a database for consistent simulation. This is accessible via a web-based management dashboard and a remote interface, removing the need for a local client installation.
The system covers kernel-level traffic shaping to constrain outgoing traffic and includes database-backed profile storage for saving and reusing predefined network configuration sets. It also includes a traffic shaping API for programmatically controlling bandwidth and latency.
Features
- Traffic Shaping - Implements mechanisms to control data flow by limiting bandwidth and increasing latency.
- Network Connectivity Testing - Evaluates how applications load and function across different network speeds and connectivity levels.
- Simulation Profiles - Enables saving and reusing predefined network constraint sets to quickly switch simulation scenarios.
- Remote Network Shaping Managers - Ships a remote interface for applying and storing network shaping profiles in a database.
- Kernel-Level Emulations - Interacts with kernel networking primitives to emulate packet loss and bandwidth constraints for all outgoing traffic.
- Traffic Control Interfaces - Provides a dashboard for manipulating Linux kernel-level networking rules and traffic control (tc) settings.
- Network Condition Simulation - Emulates latency, packet loss, and bandwidth limits to test application performance under poor network quality.
- Database-Backed Configurations - Uses a persistent database to store and deploy predefined network configuration sets.
- Traffic Shaping Control - Allows adjusting bandwidth and latency rules via a networked API from a distant machine.
- Remote Traffic Management - Provides a web dashboard to manage network shaping rules and configurations remotely.
- Shaping Profiles - Stores predefined network configuration sets in a database for quick reuse.
- Web-Based Configuration Dashboards - Ships a browser-based dashboard for configuring network conditions without requiring a local client.
- Web-Based Traffic Control - Provides a web dashboard for managing network shaping without requiring a dedicated client installation.
