Module Delay Fixed Delay

The fixed delay module adds a configurable delay to each packet. The module has inputs and outputs in both directions to apply the same delay value to both directions of bidirectional traffic. Both directions are handled independently.

Changes to the delay value are applied immediately by comparing the sojourn time of the packets with the configured delay. Therefore, when increasing the delay, packets that are already waiting inside the module are keep for longer. When decreasing the delay, all packets that are waiting inside the module for longer than the configured delay are released in a burst. No packets are lost when changing the delay.
