Simulate a low-speed LAN connection

Sometimes I want to manually test my web applications (desktop applications that invoke web services or websites or RIAs) to see how they behave when connected to a low-speed Internet connection (for example, 56 kbps). Is it possible to do this through a network, simulating a lower speed than real? If so, is it also possible to simulate a poor quality connection (something like packet loss, connection drop, etc)?

Found the answer to my own speed question: How to simulate download speed using System.Threading

How about simulating packet loss and connectivity?

I did this with this tool http://bandwidthcontroller.com/purchaseStandard.html

They have a free trial and a cheap full version.

Just be sure to remove it after testing. Because it disconnects your network even when deactivated.

So, this is really a crappy tool, unless you need a slow network.

If you have a telephone line, try using a real modem instead of simulating. You can simply redirect the address you want to test through the modem and use a regular connection for all other traffic.

Try WANem , which is an open source WAN emulator. You can download the image (iso, knoppix live cd) or VMWare virtual devices.
