WAN-Bridge is a live-CD open-source WAN-Emulation alternative that doesn't require complex routing when testing the behavior of applications and network protocols over WAN.

WAN-Bridge can run as a virtual machine or on a standard PC.

With WAN-Bridge it is easy to create fully virtualized or mixed test environments, and benefit from advanced network monitoring and charting capabilities. 

:!: WAN-Bridge Live-CD does not retain any configuration across reboots.

<file>
wanbridge menu
</file>

or (for 5Mbps bandwidth and 8ms RTT):

<file>
wanbridge set 5000 8
</file>

Choose from the default settings options or type ''custom''.

:!: Leave any of the custom parameters blank to remove from emulation limits. E.g. entering only a delay value will not limit bandwidth and will keep native packet-loss.

If the bridge is assigned an IP address (either through DHCP or Static configuration), you may access the network traffic probe (ntop) web interface by browsing to http://WANBRIDGE-IP.
