问题:

I'm trying to test an application that uses a database connection. What I would like to do is throttling the bandwith to, say, 1 MBit or such to get a better feeling for the application under realistic conditions.

I already use Wireshark to have a look at the communication with the DB and I expected Wireshark to have a feature like that but as it seems there is no way to do something like that.

Any suggestions?

Check out WANem. You can download a bootable ISO that you boot up on any system with multiple NICs which you then insert between your client and server. It lets you control bandwidth, latency, jitter, loss, and a few other parameters.

Take a look at Trickle. Also, if you are using a router, commercial-grade router firmware generally has some QoS traffic-shaping services.

If you can test it out at the endpoint you could try using a browser throttler. One example is Firefox Throttle.

A program called BWMeter can do this.

Check your own router, see if there is a Bandwith control or Quality Of Service (QoS) section. That way you can limit all your outgoing/incoming traffic to whatever you want.

TP-LINK has this for example:
