I have installed tc in my linux

Describe what happened (or what feature you want)

I have installed tc in my linux server. however, when i run a network delay command, i get this error I have the blade installed under /chaosblade folder instead of /root folder.

Error message below : /bin/sh -c /chaosblade/chaosblade-1.3.0/bin/chaos_tcnetwork --start --type delay --interface eth0 --time 500 --offset 10 --debug=false --local-port 3000: cmd exec failed, err: /bin/sh -c tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:4 handle 40: netem delay 500ms 10ms && \ tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: prio 4 protocol ip u32 match ip sport 3000 0xffff flowid 1:4: cmd exec failed, err: Error: Specified qdisc not found. exit status 2 exit status 1

Describe what you expected to happen

I have installed tc in my linux server. The blade should work from any folder where it is installed, if i have sudo root access . However, i get the error above.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

[Super-long]

The magic of injecting network latency is based on netem, which is a kernel module.

You can run grep '^CONFIG_NET_\(SCH_\|CLS\)' /boot/config-$(uname -r) to see if your machine has this module loaded.
