NISTNet

NISTNet is a network emulation package that runs on Linux. NISTNet allows a single Linux PC set up as a router to emulate a wide variety of network conditions.
NISTNet was originally developed at NIST, this is the official page of the project.
Since NIST hasn't updated anything after July 2005 and NISTNet doesn't even compile anymore on kernel >= 2.6.12 but still it is a very well made and useful peace of software I decided to write a patch to let people compile and use it on newer kernels.

NISTNet is distributed under the GPLv2.


This patch enables NISTNet to be compiled on kernels >= 2.6.22 and adds support for Mac filtering.
Two new command line options are provided: -m to add a mac filtering rule and -c to remove a mac filtering rule. Please make me know if something don't work as expected!


This patch just enables NISTNet to be compiled on kernels >= 2.6.12 && < 2.6.22.
No new features are present, just the plain old NISTNet.
