We need to simulate an unstable network connection to try to debug some connectivity issues in our server/client application and I was wondering if there are any programs out there that can simulate those conditions such as on a faint wireless network.
I’m not just referring to reducing bandwidth, but also reducing reliability, frequent on and off, short bursts of disconnectedness, etc.
Ian’s solution seems like a pretty good long term solution, but sounded a little involved for just some quick testing. (finding another machine, hooking it up, possibly setting up router stuff etc)
I ended up just using Net Limiter and randomly set the limit to something stupidly low manually (like 1 byte/sec) and that seems to be sufficient for our needs.
