Distributed applications that communicate over local area networks usually enjoy highly reliable communications with minimal latency. However, as the trend to larger scale distributed systems continues, applications are likely to have to tolerate the reduced performance that is inherent in wide area networking. During application development it is often impractical or inconvenient to evaluate system performance under real wide area network conditions. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of the Delayline tool which provides a fully configurable mechanism for emulating wide area network communications on a local area network.
