Hi All,

Does anyone happen to know of software that can be used to throttle a
network connection, so you can see how long a pageload would take on a
slower connection?

For instance, let's say I wanted to watch how long it took for my page
to load on a modem. If I had software that could throttle my network
interface down, I would then request the page and watch it.

Bonus points if it can throttle the loopback device, because then I can
request the page from localhost and it will still work.

Running XP Pro.

I know one can determine the total amount of data downloaded, then
detemine speed at which a 56k modem would download it... but I think it
would give me a better sense of load times if I could actually throttle
the connection and *see* how long it takes.

Any suggestions?
