Limiting the Network bandwidth by software

Hello ,
My application uses network resources extensively ; it
should work under different bandwidth loads (according to the customer
bandwidth allocation) : under fixed 10 KB/sec , under fixedmax KB/sec,
and under fixed 30 KB/sec.

This means that the ADSL user,which uses this application,
is allocated a fixed bandwidth.

I need to test my application in this different bandwidth values.
I do not have hardware tool to test this.
Is there a tool for limiting the Network bandwidth by software,
which can set an upper limit to the max bandwidth a station
can transmit ?

It might be overkill, but Squid can do something like that. I don't know how
well it will work with non-browser traffic though...
