    for emulation (experiments) a good starting point is the RFC 2398 "TCP tools
    for implementators"
    I especially recommend the combinaison of tcpdump/tcptarce/xplot to analyse
    TCP behavior.
    I never try to use delay generators mentionned in this RFC, so I don't know
    if they are capable to generate changing delay.

    For NS, I know there is a TCP stack and some satellite tools. But I never
    play with them.

    Cheers
    Julien
