Sometimes it useful to be able to simulate a wonky network…
I found a pretty useful piece of software that goes by the catchy title of WANulator, early testing looks promising, and can be booted up from a USB in a liveCD environment on any i386 based PC and supports multiple ethernet ports.
Check it out.

Furthermore it simulates user access line speeds e.g. modem, ISDN or ADSL. For a full list of parameters which can be simulated please have a look in feature list.
