Re: about Packet loss in wireshark

[Martin Visser <martinvisser99 () gmail com>]

Wireshark only discards traffic on an interface on the basis for the capture
filters. There are no random discard filters (or other math-like ones that
would be suitable.

If I want to simulate a lossy network, I use the "netem" functionality built
into to the Linux kernel to good effect. (Basically you setup a Linux box as
a bridge and then use the "tc" commands to alter the traffic control
paramters of the interfaces.
