I've written some applications than heavily use network, and I would like to test it over a slow network. I'm looking for a tool to simulate these kind of connections.
I'm only interested in Windows tools.

Fiddler is a(nother) web proxy that can be used to degrade your connection.
Clumsy seems to be a promising new tools for testing with degraded network performance.
I've used Traffic Shaper XP on my XP dev box at work. It seems to handle any connection (not just HTTP). It wasn't perfect, but worked well enough for the tests I was doing. If you're on Windows maybe it'll do enough for you.
If you are trying to do HTTP throttling Charles Web Proxy is absolutely great for this. Please do have a look at it.
How about this tool (network Traffic Generator) ?
You're right. dummynet works only in FreeBSD, it's actually built into the kernel.
What I did when I used it was grab an older PC nobody used anymore and install the FreeBSD distribution.
