I guess I should be more specific:
The "simulator" is a dual-homed machine running Linux, sitting between a
couple test servers and a bunch of workstations:
Servers------Simulator--------Workstations
Physically, the network is a mix of GigE and FastE.
The delay, loss and bandwidth constraints must be applied to all traffic
going through the simulator. For now, there's no need to differentiate
between the various protocols, addresses, etc. - everyone is equal.
The simulator is a plain router, nothing fancy. At most, it might NAT
the addresses of the servers to IP aliases on the interface facing the
workstations.
