I'm looking for a (Linux) tool to allow me to simulate high latency IP communication between two machines.

Machines A and B are on the same LAN (<1ms latency).
Goal: My Java app, machine A, should experience high latency (~500ms) when talking TCP with a service on machine B.

Comments:

  1. I'm looking for fine grained control over the individual IP packet latency (controlling just the overall bandwidth doesn't cut it).
  2. I would rather not slow down the entire network, just the communication between machines: A+B.
  3. I mainly care about Linux and I rather use a freeware tool, though a Windows/commercial tool might also do. I Googled, but found nothing.
