Dummynet ISO
Mike and I were trying to create a network throttling device, and we stumbled upon Dummynet. Everything seemed cheeky until we realized that they only offered a download as a bootable floppy disk image. I don’t know about everyone else, but I haven’t kept floppies in years. We couldn’t find one in the entire house. As an alternative, Mike downloaded a floppy image to cd image tool so we could create a bootable CD instead (the floppy image provides a mini-BSD distro with the tools installed). bin2iso is available here, or if you’re interested in the dummynet cd iso, that can be found here. No guarantees if it will work, as we haven’t tested it yet.

What do you need a network throttling device for out of curiosity?

To test the real time video portion of the swallowing software.

Hehe, I figured it had something to do with “swallowing”
