NAME

tcpnice - slow down TCP connections on a LAN  

SYNOPSIS



tcpnice [-v] [-I] [-i interface] [-n increment] [expression]
 

DESCRIPTION

tcpnice slows down specified in-progress TCP connections on a LAN via "active" traffic shaping (useful for sniffing fast networks).  

OPTIONS

-v
Verbose mode.
-I
Forge ICMP source quench replies in addition to tiny TCP window advertisements.
-i interface
Specify the interface to listen on.
-n increment
Specify an amount by which to "nice" the connection. The imposed latency can be adjusted over a range of 1 (normal speed) to 20 (the slowest).
expression
Specify a tcpdump(8) filter expression to select the connections to slow down. If no expression is given, all TCP traffic on the LAN will be artificially delayed.
