Dummynet
web: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/
Licence: free
Platform: BSD, MAC OS X
Description: dummynet is a tool originally designed for testing networking protocols, and since then used for a variety of applications including bandwidth management. It simulates/enforces queue and bandwidth limitations, delays, packet losses, and multipath effects. It also implements a variant of Weighted Fair Queueing called WF2Q+. It can be used on user’s workstations, or on machines acting as routers or bridges.

Cisco IP SLA
web: IP SLAs Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15M&T
Licence: closed
Platform: Cisco IOS
Description: IP SLAs allows Cisco customers to analyze IP service levels for IP applications and services, to increase productivity, to lower operational costs, and to reduce the frequency of network outages. IP SLAs uses active traffic monitoring–the generation of traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner–for measuring network performance.
N
NetNORAD
Licence: open source
Platform: *nux,
Description:
netem
web: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/netem
Licence: free
Platform: *nux,
Description: netem provides Network Emulation functionality for testing protocols by emulating the properties of wide area networks. The current version emulates variable delay, loss, duplication and re-ordering.
O
Omnet++
Licence: free
Platform: Win,
Description: OMNeT++ is an extensible, modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators. “Network” is meant in a broader sense that includes wired and wireless communication networks, on-chip networks, queueing networks, and so on. Domain-specific functionality such as support for sensor networks, wireless ad-hoc networks, Internet protocols, performance modeling, photonic networks, etc., is provided by model frameworks, developed as independent projects. OMNeT++ offers an Eclipse-based IDE, a graphical runtime environment, and a host of other tools. There are extensions for real-time simulation, network emulation, alternative programming languages (Java, C#), database integration, SystemC integration, and several other functions.
P
perfSonar
web: https://www.perfsonar.net/gtk_whatis.html
Licence: OpenSource
Platform: Linux
Description: perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths, and help to establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed world wide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance. This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilizing network resources.
R
RipeATLAS
Licence: hardware distributed free of cost, RIPE sponsored
Platform: proprietary hw probes, centrally managed
Decription: RIPE Atlas employs a global network of probes that measure Internet connectivity and reachability, providing an unprecedented understanding of the state of the Internet in real time.
W
Wanem
web: http://wanem.sourceforge.net/
Licence: open source
Platform: linux
Decription: WANem is a Wide Area Network Emulator, meant to provide a real experience of a Wide Area Network/Internet, during application development / testing over a LAN environment. Typically application developers develop applications on a LAN while the intended purpose for the same could be, clients accessing the same over the WAN or even the Internet.
