Hi.
I work in Internet software development. We need to simulate 10+ users accessing simultaneously our software via a modem, but are all contected to a LAN.
I was wondering if there is a piece of software somewhere that we can run on each client that will simulate a modem connection (ie, increase latency, lag, packet loss...) on a LAN connection.
We are using Windows 32, mainly 2K and XP, but even a Win98 solution would help tremendously.
Actually, we publish multiplayer internet games. Up to now we have been doing board games, so network speed and conditions were not important at all. We are moving up to arcade games (soccer, tris-like...), for which Internet connections ARE a very limiting factor.
Though we have designed our own bandwith-throttling, packet-dropping, latency-creating tool, we would like to double-check with another tool. These tests need to be made under load, buying 20+ modems and phone lines is definitely NOT practical, and there are only a couple of modems in the office right now.
Best Regards, Olivier
