This bash script offers quick shortcuts to simulate slower network connections. It is useful when you need to simulate a wireless network on a Linux network server, especially when you are using a virtual machine guest on your local machine or in the cloud.
slow 3G # Slow network on default eth0 down to 3G wireless speeds
slow 3G -l 600ms -p 10% # slow network on eth0 and setup latency to 600ms packetloss to 10%
slow reset # Reset connection for default eth0 to normal
slow vsat --latency=500ms # Simulate satellite internet with a high latency
slow dsl -b 1mbps # Simulate DSL with a slower speed than the default
