Question

I’m decoding video get via http using gstreamer. To do that I’ve stored multimedia files (ogg, mp4) in my apache htdocs directory. And then I can decode them with gstreamer using the following pipeline command :

gst-launch souphttpsrc location=http://localhost/data/ ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconverter ! autoaudiosink

In order to simulate the lost of paquets in an heavy load network connection. I wounder if it is possible to configure the trafic of the Apache web server to drop some specific paquets (from ogg or mp4 for example) or slow down the flow?

What I need to do in order to archive that.

I’m using Apache 2 install in xampp.

thanks for any reply.

Finally it get the answer from this other question here. It’s not the web server to do that but the system and in my case It’s Linux who will do that using the command tc

sudo tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem loss 0.1%|

for example
