you misunderstand, it runs on a seperate machine acting as a router

so your server is on one side, and your client is on the other side of the machine [with two network cards, running linux and that tool]

it looks like it requires a fair amount of linux [and networking] experience...
thanks for the link

One way to simulate a network is a tool like VMware. Its not free but it allows you to install multiple instances of any operating system and run them at the same time. They can then be networked together using the VMware simulated network.

I've started work on a proxy app, which will forward packets from one address/port to another address/port with settings for packet loss, delay (lag) and duplication. It's just for udp and not finished tho...
