Simulating Network Latency

Hello all,

I'm looking for some way to simulate network latency to test some hardware.
Any help appreciated. NRF

Depending on how much you need (and how much control over it), a few
switches in series might do it. If you need more, you probably could
set up a Linux box as a router and insert some pauses at strategic
points in the code.

Another thought would be to put an old 10Mbps segment in the path, with
a device (e.g. switch or router) containing some storage on either side
of it.

You can try Nistnet. Nistnet is basically a network emulator.
