How to drop packets on purpose?

[Ilya Migal]

Hello.

Is it possible to make a node drop packets from time to time on purpose?

After looking through classes and functions (Doxygen) i found only Drop, DropPacketWithDst.

If anybody has any info i would be very grateful. 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It depends where and why do you want to drop the packet.

You can implement it on any layer/protocol you want. The idea is to find where you receive each packet for every layer and where it is forwarded to the next. You can put a random variable there that will decide to pass it to the next or not.

See this graph for example
