SPECIFICATION
Throws away occasional incoming packets. Used to exercise the
recovery mechanisms of other protocols.
SYNOPSIS
VDROP sessions throw away incoming packets at regular intervals. By
default, this interval is set in a somewhat random fashion at session
creation time, though it can be set explicitly on a per-protocol basis
via a ROM option (see CONFIGURATION below) or on a per-session basis
via a control operation.
VDROP has no effect on outgoing packets.
VDROP should probably allow sessions to have more interesting distributions of drop intervals than ``once every N packets.''
REALM
VDROP is in the ASYNC realm.
PARTICIPANTS
VDROP passes participants to the lower protocols without manipulating
them.
CONTROL OPERATIONS
CONFIGURATION
VDROP recognizes the following ROM options:
vdrop/xxx interval N: Instantiation xxx of VDROP will use N as the drop interval for all of its sessions.
