How to limit internet speed?

Question

linux

Need to simulate low internet speed on Ubuntu. To test downloading content from the network in case of connection problems. How can this be done programmatically?

Answer 1

How is the connection implemented, through a router / server? If yes, then in the settings of the router / server, cut off the speed of the desired client.
If through directly, then maybe you should think about buying a router (in 2016 then), but seriously, read here or here , maybe this is what you need))
