All,

Here's another tool for the Wiki, http://caia.swin.edu.au/tools/teacup ("TCP Experiment Automation Controlled Using Python")

We built TEACUP to automate many aspects of running TCP performance experiments in our local testbed. It enables repeatable testing of different TCP algorithms over a range of emulated network path conditions, bottleneck rate limits and bottleneck queuing disciplines. A number of different researchers/students have since replicated their own TEACUP-based testbeds, so perhaps it has wider utility.

The URL above provides background, some pictures and links to tech reports for TEACUP v1.0

Public source, additional patches and docs under creative commons license are at https://sourceforge.net/projects/teacup

cheers,
