As suggested by VDesmedT, Netlimiter is a great tool. I used it some years ago to not to claim our full corporate internet connection during working hours while downloading big ISO's.

But I would suggest a dedicated box that was build exactly for that purpose, like this one.

http://wanem.sourceforge.net/

It is a standalone appliance (or virtual machine) where you can simulate a WAN line with many aspects like:

  • Bandwith
  • Package Loss
  • Data Corruption
  • Different Up/Download speeds

There are more tools like that out there (search WAN emulator at your favorite search engine) but that one looks promissing, even if I never used it before but only a similar, commercial appliance.
