M5 simulates the network at the Ethernet layer, so any protocol supported by Linux will work (udp/ip, tcp/ip, icmp, ...).
You could generate artificial cpu loads under m5 just as you would on a real machine (by running a dummy program that eats cpu cycles). That would chew up a lot of simulation time though. A more efficient approach that might be useful (depending on what you're studying) would just be to slow the cpu down by running it at a lower frequency.
