Proxy to Simulate Unreliable TCP Connections

[Christopher Popp <ch...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any proxy software out there that can simulate unreliable 
TCP connections?

I have a client and server, and I want to introduce a proxy so that even in a 
LAN environment things become unreliable.  Client connects to proxy and proxy 
connects to server.  Proxy might throttle some connections, occasionally hold 
packets longer than it should, and occasionally drop one side of the connection.

Should be pretty easy to write one with limited functionality, but I thought it 
is something that might already exist.

Thanks,
Chris

I think WANEM (http://wanem.sourceforge.net/) might do what you want.
