Just wanted to highlight Luigis point that the profile method of adding delay, refers to MAC overhead delay not latency/RTT. I asked him about this a while ago when I was trying to do doing what you are doing, and what you'll find is that application performance with 200-1300ms profile delay will be MUCH worse than with 200-1300 propagation delay. This is because with profile, the delay is applied before the packet gets queued in the pipe, making the hop unavailable for that amount of time, while the 'normal' delay setting is applied after the packet is queued in the pipe, simulating delays that occur after the packet leaves the bottleneck. Unfortunately I still haven't found a good way to emulate variable RTT with dummynet.
