I should have said "salticid", not jepsen, but they are related.
For those who haven't seen it, Kyle Kingsbury has a lovely series of posts on
how to test the consistency and availability claims of many data stores: riak,
cassandra, postgres and many more.
(http://aphyr.com/posts/281-call-me-maybe-carly-rae-jepsen-and-the-perils-of-network-partitions)
salticid is Kyle's little wrapper over iptables to create network partitions or
slowdowns, and to heal them.
This solution is linux specific, and I thought it would be useful to have it
part of nanomsg as a mock testing tool for arbitrarily creating delays and
dropping connections, packets etc.
