WANem is a great free tool over at sourceforge that simulates a wide area network.  This tool comes in handy when you want to see how an application is going to perform on a wide area network.  WANem allows you to simulate network delay, packet loss, packet corruption, disconnections, packet re-ording, and several other characteristics.  You can currently download the program as a live cd or a virtual appliance for VMWare.  Check out this great tool and let us know what you think.
