Anyone know if there is something like a commercialized tool for dummynet? Or maybe some pretty front end software? I've just learned about something at <day-job> that would be perfectly suited for dummynet. We want to be able to simulate consumer-grade network connections (e.g. 5 Mbps up, 512 kbps down) over a corporate LAN that's all Gbps ports. Command line changes to ipfw rules is going to be beyond the capabilities of the users. And it would be super nice if users were able to do things like enable-disable the throttling themselves, not always go through an admin. It seems well beyond using some of the GUI firewall front ends that I'm aware of. Does this kind of thing exist? And no, we don't really have the time or resources (mostly time) to develop such a thing ourselves. -- Crist J. Clark
