It would be useful to extend the current UDP model with the following features:

  • Randomized packet corruption/truncation
  • Randomized packet duplication/retransmission
  • Randomized packet reordering - this can be accomplished by having some jitter assigned to each packet.
  • Preferring new packets instead of old on full receive buffers - currently we drop new packets on full buffers but this isn't usually what network stacks do or what applications expect. - turns out this is exactly what stacks do - see Drop oldest udp message when buffer is full #128 (comment)
  • Setting the MTU for a path and being able to drop and/or truncate packets larger than that value
  • Simulate bufferbloat (i.e. latency increases by some function as the number of packets being buffered increases).
