[Bug 486518] Re: kopete with Jabber: unrecoverable error in the protocol, frequent disconnection

[Julian Hsiao]

For those like me who don't want to compile KDE from source, but also
don't want to switch to a different IM client.  The following workaround
works for me.  As root, run:

DEV=<Ethernet device>
SERVER=<Jabber server IP>
tc qdisc del dev $DEV root
tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1: prio
tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:3 handle 30: netem delay 500ms 50ms distribution normal
tc filter add dev eth1 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 3 u32 match ip dst $SERVER/32 flowid 1:3

This artificially delays packets sent/received to/from the server.  In
my case half a second seems to work well.
