Network delay simulation

"tc" and "iptable" both can be used for network control.
"iptable" is dangerous as one can accidently block ssh port. "tc" provide extra level of customization for traffic control.

1) for adding delay:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms  
if "tc" command not found, then you can install it:
 
yum -y install tc
 
Note:name of device "eth0" can be found running "ifconfig" command
The name eth0 can differ in various system.
 
for checking if delay is introduced or not, run:
tc -s qdisc
 
for removing all "tc" rules, run this command:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root netem 
and again verfiy :
tc -s qdisc
 
 
2) for adding delay in statistically distributed fashion:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 150ms 50ms distribution normal
note: if it gives error "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" then run: 
tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem delay 150ms 50ms distribution normal
 There are 3 type of distribution available:  normal, pareto, paretonormal
normal distribution looks like this:
 
 and  pareto distribution:
 
 
 
3) for dropping packet:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem loss 1%
it wil drop 1% of tcp packets.
note the "add" part. It will give error if any qdisc rule is already added.
In that case use: "change"
i.e.  tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem loss 1%
 
 
4) for limiting bandwidth:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 100kbit  burst 16kbit latency 500ms
if you get error:"Invalid argument" then delete the previous rules:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root netem
 
5) don't forget to cleanup by running:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root netem
and verify it:
tc -s qdisc

On Divisibility of Numbers

There are some rules to check that a given number is divisible by a number without actual division. e.g. to check if a given number is divisible by 2, you have just check the last digit is even or not. Similarly for 3 , if the sum of digit of any given number is divisible by 3 then the number will also be divisible by 3. One day I was thinking that if there is some generalized rule for every number. Here is some interesting thing I found out. Suppose we have to test divisibility by 17. Let us check whether 4913 is divisible by 17 or not. Here is the rule:- Step 1) :- found out multiple of the number( in this case 17) which ends with 1 or 9. 17 X 3 = 51 ends with 1. Step 2) :- strip the last digit . so we got 5 here. Step 3) :- take the last digit of 4913 which is 3. multiply it by 5 3X5=15. Remove the last digit from 4913 and subtract 15 from it. 491-15 = 476 again repeat this on 476 47 -...

Retirement Pension calculation

Calculation of how much you need  to save for pension  is not magic. It can be expressed by a simple equation like this: Assuming 4% inflation* and your current monthly expenditure is 1 lakh. for calculating life expetency you can refer: https://twitter.com/srikundansingh/status/1147423727753187328 This is table for monthly saving you need: Current Age Retirement Age life expectancy Interest rate % Monthly saving needed 30 40 80 6 612216 30 40 80 8 443951 30 40 80 10 333052 30 40 80 12 255669 30 40 90 6 962869 30 40 90 8 690015 30 40 90 10 513540 30 40 90 12 391969 30 40 100 6 1487250 30 40 100 8 1056611 30 40 100 10 781885 30 40 100 12 594362 30 40 110 6 2272055 30 40 110 8 1603538 30 40 110 10 1181492 30 40 110 12 895401 30 45 80 6 331079 30 45 80 8 226990 30 45 80 10 160033 30 45 80 12 114896 30 45 90 6 527922 30 45 90 8 356871 30 45 90 10 249194 30 45 90 12 177667 30 45 100 6 821839 30 45 100 8 549996 30 45 100 10 38...
