iPhone Simulator - Simulate a slow connection?

Question

Is there a way to slow down the internet connection to the iPhone Simulator, so as to mimic how the App might react when you are in a slow spot on the cellular network?

Answer 1

I would argue that a slow connection isn't enough to simulate real-work mobile data network behaviour - since there is also much more packet loss, higher latencies and more dropped connections too.

Here is a handy script to configure the firewall to emulate these parameters:
