## Motivation
We have explored tooling which will help us simulate different network issues. In #50855 we have found http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-netem.8.html
This tool allows to introduce packet losses, increasing network delays, etc.
As SLE 15 installer heavily depends on the network, we should know problematic areas and make sure that YaST handles this properly.
## Acceptance criteria
1. SLE 15 SP1 or SP2 installer is tested with simulated network issues
2. Ticket for automation with detailed description of the suggested scenario is created in case worth it
## Suggestions
1. Check if installer can properly handle network disconnection (and reconnect)
2. Check if installer can properly handle packet losses
3. Check if installer can properly handle delays in responses
These scenarios are relevant for the packages installation (with remote addons) and registration, as those depend on the network mostly.
Another area is NTP configuration, as we have options to sync time and test connection to the server.
