Hi,
I'm looking for a network testbench / simulator to stimulate known
networking conditions to test out a component for a product at work.
I was wondering if there was a network simulator available (preferably
open source) that's FreeBSD / Linux compatible which I can simulate as real
of a network as possible on a virtual machine / network.
Dummynet or ALTQ might be good starting points, as is netgraph, depending on
just what you're trying to do. There are also userland benchmark/analysis
tools like flood pinging, netperf, & ab ("apache bench").

Hmmm... ok, expanding on that what I was looking for was a means to simulate
semi-realtime delays across a virtual network with 4+ virtual machines. Is it
possible to use Dummynet in this case, or do I need to look into something else?
Other conditions I planned on imposing are non-locking NFS (causes a lot of
issues here with files at work), and have SUSE 32-bit clients (host OS of
choice at work) if possible connect to the host machine and with one another,
executing make jobs.
Any further suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks,
-Garrett
