Traffic control
------------------------

Setup traffic shaping rules
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Easy to apply traffic shaping rules to specific network:

- Outgoing/Incoming packets
- Source/Destination IP-address/network (IPv4/IPv6)
- Source/Destination ports

Available parameters
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following parameters can be set to network interfaces:

- Network bandwidth rate ``[G/M/K bps]``
- Network latency ``[microseconds/milliseconds/seconds/minutes]``
- Packet loss rate ``[%]``
- Packet corruption rate ``[%]``
- Packet duplicate rate ``[%]``
- Packet reordering rate  ``[%]``

Targets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Network interfaces: e.g. ``eth0``
- Docker container (``veth`` corresponding with a container)

.. image:: docs/gif/tcset_example.gif

Usage
=======
Set traffic control (``tcset`` command)
-----------------------------------------
``tcset`` is a command to add traffic control rule to a network interface (device).

e.g. Set a limit on bandwidth up to 100Kbps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps

e.g. Set network latency
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use time units (such as us/sec/min/etc.) to designate delay time.

Set 100 milliseconds network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 100ms


Set 10 seconds network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 10sec

Set 0.5 minutes (30 seconds) network latency
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 0.5min

You can also use the following time units:

.. table::

    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
    |    Unit    |                Available specifiers (str)                |
    +============+==========================================================+
    |hours       |``h``/``hour``/``hours``                                  |
    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
    |minutes     |``m``/``min``/``mins``/``minute``/``minutes``             |
    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
    |seconds     |``s``/``sec``/``secs``/``second``/``seconds``             |
    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
    |milliseconds|``ms``/``msec``/``msecs``/``millisecond``/``milliseconds``|
    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
    |microseconds|``us``/``usec``/``usecs``/``microsecond``/``microseconds``|
    +------------+----------------------------------------------------------+

e.g. Set 0.1% packet loss
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --loss 0.1%

e.g. All of the above settings at once
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --rate 100Kbps --delay 100ms --loss 0.1%

e.g. Specify the IP address of traffic control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.10

e.g. Specify the IP network and port of traffic control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 100ms --network 192.168.0.0/24 --port 80

Set traffic control to a docker container
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Execute ``tcconfig`` with ``--docker`` option on a Docker host:

.. code-block:: console

    # tcset <container name or ID> --docker ...

You could use ``--src-container``/``--dst-container`` options to specify source/destination container.


Set traffic control within a docker container
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to run a container with ``--cap-add NET_ADMIN`` option
if you you would like to set a tc rule within a container:

.. code-block:: console

    docker run -d --cap-add NET_ADMIN -t <docker image>

A container image that builtin tcconfig can be available at https://hub.docker.com/r/thombashi/tcconfig/

Delete traffic control (``tcdel`` command)
------------------------------------------
``tcdel`` is a command to delete traffic shaping rules from a network interface (device).

e.g. Delete traffic control of ``eth0``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can delete all of the shaping rules for the ``eth0`` with ``-a``/``--all`` option:

.. code-block:: console

    # tcdel eth0 --all

Display traffic control configurations (``tcshow`` command)
-----------------------------------------------------------
``tcshow`` is a command to display the current traffic control settings for network interface(s).

Example
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: console

    # tcset eth0 --delay 10ms --delay-distro 2  --loss 0.01% --rate 0.25Mbps --network 192.168.0.10 --port 8080
    # tcset eth0 --delay 1ms --loss 0.02% --rate 500Kbps --direction incoming
    # tcshow eth0
    {
        "eth0": {
            "outgoing": {
                "dst-network=192.168.0.10/32, dst-port=8080, protocol=ip": {
                    "filter_id": "800::800",
                    "delay": "10.0ms",
                    "delay-distro": "2.0ms",
                    "loss": "0.01%",
                    "rate": "250Kbps"
                }
            },
            "incoming": {
                "protocol=ip": {
                    "filter_id": "800::800",
                    "delay": "1.0ms",
                    "loss": "0.02%",
                    "rate": "500Kbps"
                }
            }
        }
    }
