Packet Loss Attack
The Packet Loss Gremlin randomly injects a percentage of packet loss (or packet corruption) into IP packets at the transport layer, targeted by supplied port and host arguments.
Linux
The Packet Loss Gremlin uses existing Quality of Service (QOS) and Differentiated Services (diffserv) facilities in the Linux kernel to emulate natural packet loss (and optionally packet corruption).
This Gremlin does not interact with <span class="code-class-custom">iptables</span>, and so it does not interfere with any existing <span class="code-class-custom">iptables</span> rulesets.
This Gremlin requires the <span class="code-class-custom">NET_ADMIN</span> capability, which is enabled for Gremlin by default at installation time. See capabilities(7)
