Public bug reported:

If I configure a netem rule with a delay and jitter, the actual network
delay jitter is significantly different from the configured value.

With no netem rules:

Delays >4 seconds are unexpected, the expected delays are approximately
60 - 140 ms.

With netem rule with delay and *no* jitter:

$ sudo tc qdisc add dev wlp4s0 root netem delay 100ms

$ ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=17 ttl=64 time=103 ms

In this case the delays are as expected.

The 192.168.1.2 host is a machine in the local network. The problem
appears with different network interfaces, including loopback (in which
case the delays are doubled) and on multiple machines.
