"trickle" can be used to fake low bandwidth (and possibly latency, I
don't remember) on dynamically linked software that uses libc for
socket access. However IIRC it does not have the ability to simulate
failure modes.

If you're considering writing your own perhaps check it out and
consider augmenting it. The nice thing about it is that it's so dead
simple and practical to use with any random application (web
browsers!) without special root access, gateway access or anything
else.
