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:
$ ping 192.168.1.2

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=10 ttl=64 time=102 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=102 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=12 ttl=64 time=103 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=13 ttl=64 time=102 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=14 ttl=64 time=102 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=103 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=16 ttl=64 time=103 ms
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.
