Have a look at NistNET for a comprehensive Network Emulation Tool that can not only do bandwidth shaping, but also simulate delay, error characteristics etc. See http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/itg/nistnet/

In that latter stages of the project, one server will placed in a server farm with a 256k (eventually upgarded to 512k) connection. Hence they need a proof of concept that there won't be problems with data transfer restricted to 512k. I know there is hardware that can do this but I wondered if a linux box could be used instead (and show to certain management types that Linux is wonderful). I've found rshaper which may do what I want it do. I have a Linux box doing nothing with two NICs installed. My theory is using rshaper on one NIC (which would be connected to the server that would be at 512k in real life) I can give them what they want. Has anyone used rshaper and if so, would my scenario work?
