Is anyone aware of useful resources for packet loss over large LANs

Our testing teams are trying to simulate expected network conditions

parameters would be nice.
Depending on what you want, you could use something like smokeping or
owamp to measure your network. (Both can be easily found via the goog).
There are also commercial packages (eg: firehunter) that can be
utilized as well to measure your network.
