I appreciate the question and answer about testing configuration. I will be
looking into dummynet. I should be able to compile it and run it in a Linux
environment - correct?

The ASCII graphics below did not appear as intended in my email reader
because of some local application configurations.

Perhaps others have the same problem, so I offer the steps I used to correct
the situation.

In MS Outlook Express 5.5 I did the following:

Per email solution:
0. opened a new window for the email (double click on email entry)
1. email window menu: Format-Rich Text (to allow font selection)
2. highlighted the graphic in the email
3. email window menu: Format-Font, then choose Courier, chose OK/Apply
4. switch back to plain text email format to avoid formatting: select on
menu: Format-Plain Text

Voila! Graphics make sense.

All email solution is:
1. main menu: Tools-Options
2. select "Read" tab
3. push "Fonts" button
4. pulldown menu "Proportional fonts"; choose Courier
5. optional: pulldown menu "Font sixe"; choose <size>
6. push "OK" button

Now you will read all email in fixed font Courier. I looked for a control
that chooses fixed font instead of proportional font as the default font. I
was not successful. THat is why I chose Courier for the proportional font.

These instructions are for Western European settings in Outlook 5.5. YMMV.
The adjustment is probably not unique to MS email readers. Instead, it is a
fixed versus variable font issue.

HTH,
Mike

Dear Sebastian,

there is a perfect tool for making ASCII graphics
called Email Effects, which is available from
http://www.sigsoftware.com

I can only answer (or comment) your question because
the company I'm working for has bought a license
from a well known sofware company so that I can read
the file you have attached.
Please use plain ASCII in future postings, or use at
least .pdf.

What OS are you using. The behaviour is, lets say,
strange (or buggy). I tried the same here with FreeBSD
and MacOS X and I had a correct behaviour. Only the
interface, which was pinged, answered with the correct
address. So your IP layer is strange and that affects also
the SCTP layer.

The testbed I'm using has dualhomed hosts with IP addresses
in different networks and both hosts are connected by two
HUBS/Switches. So both netwroks are physically seperated,
therefore it is easy to produce path failures. More advanced
tests are done using the following setup:


+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| Host A | | WAN Emulator| | Host Z |
| | | | | |
| 192.168.1.1|---------|192.168.1.254| | |
| | | | | |
| | |192.168.2.254|---------|192.168.2.1 |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | |192.169.2.254|---------|192.169.2.1 |
| | | | | |
| 192.169.1.1|---------|192.169.1.254| | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+

The forwarding in host A is configure in a way that all packets for
192.168.0.0 are send to 192.168.1.254 and all packets for 192.169.0.0
are send to 192.169.1.254. Host B is configured in the same way.

The WAN Emulator is a PC with 4 Ethernet interfaces running FreeBSD.
The DUMMYNET package (part of the FreeBSD OS) is used to delay and/or
drop packets. Therefore the packets between host A and host Z will
experience loss, delay, reordering and so on. For more information see
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Michael
