Simulating Network Latency?

Posted by Cliff on from the network-testbed-technology dept.

ixmo asks: "I've just come around an interesting problem: to simulate low-bandwidth network links without buying expensive WAN simulators, I can connect two old Cisco routers back to back with serial cables, and control the bandwidth via the 'clock rate' IOS command, but how can I simulate network latency? Is there some OS tool or patch (for Linux/OpenBSD) that allows for tuning of network delay? Any hints?"

    "BTW....wouldn't have taken more than 2 minutes to Google that!"

    The point is to discuss it, not to be a human Google. Read some of the other posts that were modded up.
