Re: Simulating network throttling

Hi,

I would like to test my Git repository in case the network is throttled
(that is the network speed is reduced from its full speed). For example,
I would like to test git clone under maximum download speed of 9.6 KB/s
(GPRS speed).

I know how to test for throttling in browser, but since Git is
command-line application, is there any way to simulate network throttling?

I've had some luck using toxiproxy[1] to MITM the connection, at least
over plain HTTP. It's worth noting a warning brian m. carlson has
given others in the past about this sort of thing, though, which is
that many MITM solutions are not fully transparent, which can result
in protocol errors and other abnormal behaviors from Git. Your mileage
may vary.
