    ASHISH KURIAN - 2017-02-15

    Dear Folks,

    I am Ashish Kurian and I am doing my masters at Tu Delft (Netherlands). As part of my graduation project, I am doing some latency analysis on the test 5G network at a company. As I want to have a specific traffic pattern and traffic conditions as real as possible as in an actual network, I want to use some network degraders.

    We also have a radio network simulator and I expect to obtain the delays experienced by a particular user from the radio network side due to other users competing for access to the network. The delay experienced by this user can be generated as a text file (or any other possibile ways) as we have full flexibility to this simulators.

    What I want to know is that if I can use WANem to use this text file as an input and apply those specific delays that are experienced at every particular time points (with resolution of 1 millisecond).

    If you need more clarification on my question, please let me know.

    Since WANem largely just interfaces with Linux Traffic Control, I don't see that as possible. I have not seen it as an option anywhere. You may be able to find a combination of delay, jitter and coorelation that matches the 5G network close enough, though. There are options beyond a standard, fixed delay value.
