Hey gang:

I've been using VBox successfully for a long time.  It's been an
invaluable asset as I have been studying for my Masters Degree in MIS.

One semester I created a virtual network and used Open source hacking
tools to try to hack other boxes on the network.  I made extensive use
of snapshots and really hammered the virtual networking stack and
everything I tried worked flawlessly.  Thanks for a great tool.

Now on to my request.  This semester the project is a little
different.  I want to create much the same virtual network with a mix
of OSes, but I want to simulate various network faults and
troubleshooting techniques.

As an example of a scenario I had in mind, I thought it might be
interesting to create a couple of virtual network segments and stick a
firewall problem between them and watch open source troubleshooting
tools figure it out.

Here is my problem:  I'm just not sure if VBoxes virtual networking
stack is as configurable as I would need it to be to make this work.

So I figured this was the place to ask: Can I use VBox in this way?
What tools would you recommend for fault simulation, like virus
traffic simulation or whatever?  Is there a better tool for this.  I
know that there are network load simulators, but I want a fault
simulator.
