Also, in FreeBSD there is a utility called Dummynet, I did a mini-thesis on this not long ago. A floppy can be downloaded to configure the dummynet (search google for PicoBSD). This will let you simulate many conditions including bandwidth, losses, delays and mutlipath probabilities (simulating many routers). Allan
