Tcconfig – Simple tc wrapper, easy to set up network traffic control

A tc command wrapper. Make it easy to set up traffic control of network bandwidth/latency/packet-loss/packet-corruption/etc. to a network-interface/Docker-container(veth). - thombashi/tcconfig

Tcconfig – Simple tc wrapper, easy to set up network traffic control launched on March 1, 2016 with 34 votes, #1,854 of 4,409 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Tcconfig is a command-line wrapper that simplifies network traffic control on Linux systems. It allows users to easily configure bandwidth limits, latency, packet loss, and packet corruption on network interfaces and Docker containers without using complex tc commands directly. The tool is designed for developers and system administrators who need to simulate network conditions for testing purposes.

    Sping – An HTTP/TCP latency tool that's easy on the eye2025 · dseltzer.gitlab.io · ▲178

    I've frequently found myself using [nvitop](https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop) to diagnose GPU/CPU contention issues. The two best things about it are: - It's easy to install if I can access pip in the container - It makes a compelling screenshot (which helps me communicate with coworkers.) With those two lessons in mind: Here is Sping! Purpose: Help observe and diagnose latency issues at layer 4+ (TCP/HTTP/HTTPS) Two good things about it: - It's easy to install if you have pip.

  • Tunnelling TCP through a file2024 · github.com · ▲180

    This program can be used to tunnel TCP connections through a file. People have used it for interesting things: - Bridging connections which would otherwise be blocked by a firewall - Tunneling through RDP (similar to an SSH tunnel) - Exposing a localhost web server to others Key features I put effort into: 1. The shared file is restarted every 10 MB, so it doesn't grow indefinitely. 2. Optimisations for latency & bandwidth. (800 Mbps on a Gigabit LAN. 108 Mbps if file tunneling through RDP) 3. Synchronisation between two sides (each side can be started and restarted in any order) I'd love to…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
