Simulate bandwidth throttling and network degradation attacks using tc, iperf3, and Scapy in authorized lab environments to test QoS controls, application resilience, and monitoring detection of traffic manipulation. Use when validating how VoIP, video, or other real-time applications and network monitoring tools respond to degraded bandwidth or slowloris-style throttling attacks.

# Performing Bandwidth Throttling Attack Simulation
## When to Use
- Testing application resilience to degraded network conditions during authorized security assessments
- Validating QoS policies detect and mitigate unauthorized traffic shaping on the network
- Simulating network slowloris-style attacks that degrade bandwidth rather than causing complete outages
- Assessing the impact of bandwidth-based attacks on VoIP, video conferencing, and real-time applications
- Testing network monitoring tools' ability to detect abnormal bandwidth utilization patterns
**Do not use** on production networks without authorization and a maintenance window, for causing denial-of-service conditions, or against critical infrastructure without safety controls.
## Prerequisites
- Written authorization for bandwidth manipulation testing
