The wrapper makes the tool. It may not be perfect, and it would be nice to have more of a "random but stochastically representative degradation" option, but it's the tool I know and it works well. Can you suggest a better one for simulation? On OSX there is Apple's Network Link Consitioner[1], but on Linux? Characterizing a bad connection is great, but that isn't a tool. It's super hand wavy to say "what specific capabilities your OS of choice has for simulating or generating those conditions". My OS doesn't have capabilities I can access easily, and importantly, disable easily. Building on Comcast to add simulation improvements seems like a viable option.
