One way to do this to actually use a slower link - maybe you can run the test over a modem connection? But that starts to get a bit messy if you are simulating lots of users ...!
It might be possible to hook into the sampler output and input code, and insert appropriate delays. I did this a year or so ago using Perl and webchat (LWP) by overriding the I/O routines: Determine the message size, work out how long it should take, and sleep for the appropriate length of time. Not quite the same as a slower link, but the effect on a webserver connection should be reasonably similar. And could be made more sophisticated by sending characters individually. [May not be able to do input this way.] I don't know how easy that would be with Java.

Thanks Dasari :) I'm going to risk the ire of the list by saying that : I believe LoadRunner has the ability to do what you're looking for. I don't use it myself (and never have) but I get plenty of tests pass me by that say '56k user' or '28.8k user' and so on, which I understand is an ability in the LoadRunner Generator to restrict the throughput or something of a test.. LoadRunner is (massively) commercial and is made by Mercury Interactive.

For those interested, a full description is at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnduwon/htm l/d5wast_2.asp?frame=true Although the article says that you can no longer download this tool, the URL below does work. Also, this seems to be a Win2k only tool. The big show-stopper for me, though, is that I have to use the tool to do the test (I think). I wouldn't be able to run the JMeter thru it's throttling mechanism. I guess what I'm really looking for is a kind of proxy that can be run that knows how to throttle. The first link sent, for dummynet, sort of does that, but it may require another machine to do it. Maybe I'll check some perl, python or java archives for such a creature..... -- Regards, joe Joe Casadonte Global Logistics Technologies, Inc.
