2. Benefit?
Various preset profiles: 3G, 4G, Wifi, Bad/Medium Network, etc.
Help developers to simulate various network conditions (Download/Upload Bandwidth, Packets Dropped rate, delay).
Easier to test your app under a particular network condition.
Apply for system-Wide or certain domains.
Network Conditions v1 does not allow you to customize a profile. We will implement it in v2.
To better simulate the real-life, the download/upload bandwidth is not fixed, it might randomize in a given range.
