Test for Low bandwidth Networks

Question

Hi I have made a game and I have used OpenGL for its graphics.the OS is ubuntu 10.04. The game is multiplayer.For its testing I am unable to find any tool/software for low bandwidth and high latency.I mean I want to find the appropriate network conditions so as to run my game !

Can sm1 please tell me any good links to go to !!!!or any software that can ease my work ! thnx.

Do you want to a) simulate internet access across a LAN or b) simulate internet access on just your machine (via loopback)? — graham.reeds, Oct 22 '10 at 10:28

I started making a list, but found a few duplicates already on stackflow, like this one:

How do I simulate a low bandwidth, high latency environment?

In addition to tools/techniques there, I would also add my favorite:

NetLimiter - http://www.netlimiter.com

The wiki page for NetLimiter lists a few other options as well.

hi kaliatech .... on the first link u have given to me I had already used NetEm for linux for testing.But I could not find a way on how to test for Low Bandwidth Networks. – Mark Taylor Oct 23 '10 at 04:14
And as far as netlimiter is concerned it is for Windows and not for Unix like OS(ubuntu specifically). – Mark Taylor Oct 23 '10 at 04:15
Sorry, I completely missed that it was an Ubuntu client. I thought you could do rate limiting with NetEm? I did quick search and came across a potential problem with NetEm documentation regarding rate limiting. Perhaps this would help you: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/netem/2010-May/001388.html ? – kaliatech Oct 23 '10 at 13:31
