How to setup environment to test latency of publisher and subscriber scenarios

1

I want to setup an environment where I can check latency of different publisher and subscriber scenarios in different architectures.How can I do it??

Here is a recent 2018 paper from Robotics and Autonomous Systems that touches on this topic:

In order to reproduce the network scenarios described before (localhost, Gigabit ethernet and WiFi networks), we take advantage from Linux NetEm [46]. This module allows the simulation of network delays. Moreover, we are able to simulate bandwidth and packet loss.

Looks like they’ve also released there code for the experiments here:
