In some unix flavours you can emulate a slow network connection to, say 4KB/s using
sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 4KByte/s
sudo ipfw add 100 pipe 1 tcp from any to me 80

Is there an equivalent in Windows?

Several different methods are discussed here[^] however they are all to do with testing websites... assuming this is what you want to do, you could probably find one you like!

Looks like Sloppy is the go. Thanks
Chris,

In my last project I was trying to setup a slow network to test the website performance but I didn’t succeed, due to some policy restriction I was not able to install the 3rd party software.

I am not sure if any inbuilt tool available in windows for this, but definitely there are some third party free tools which can slow connection on TCP port.

You can have a look at this thread.

No luck in getting this to install in Win7. I'll keep plugging away though.
