One of the TestLab² customers recently asked for a detailed test of his custom installer with optional run-time downloads on various Internet connections. It was a pleasant surprise to see that our default wired and wireless connections are too good to cause any issues with the downloader, so we went for special tools. For some reason, software emulators are way less popular then hardware ones (which are cool, of course, but totally out of budget).
One of them became a favorite: WANem. I’d like to make an overview of it and provide a quick start-up tutorial.
