Introduction

Limits bandwidth for all matching egress network traffic.

Prerequisites

If you are not using our container images for the extension, you need install the tc (from the iproute2 package) tool to use the attack.

Use Cases

• Understand your service's performance under load
• Test your service's resilience to network attacks
• Test your service's resilience to decreased bandwidth
