Introduction

Limit the bandwidth of outgoing network traffic.

Prerequisites

The Extension Windows Host needs to be installed on the target system.

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

Parameters

Note: Without specifying a host or ip restriction, the attack would affect all traffic and may lead to broken communication between the Steadybit agent and platform. Hence, either the hostname or IP parameter is required.

Parameter	Description	Default
Duration	How long should the bandwidth be reduced?	30s
Network Bandwidth	How much traffic should be allowed per second?	1024kbit
Hostname	Restrict to which host the traffic is reduced (Hostname or IP Address is required)
IP Address	Restrict to which IP address the traffic is reduced (Hostname or IP Address is required)
Port	Restrict to which port the traffic is reduced, single entry only
