There seems to be a man page an ipfw but I can't find what package I have to install to use ipfw / DummyNet. Any hints?

Are you needing ipfw/dummynet specifically, or is there a requirement that can be fulfilled with a different software package or packages? – belacqua Feb 22 '11 at 17:23

ipfw is the freebsd firewall package.
Dummynet however is available for Linux and must be usable somehow from iptables. I haven't yet found a tutorial on how to use it with linux. I'm sure it'll exist somewhere.
Looks like you have to compile it yourself.
See README file that comes with the dummynet source.

Hm, it doesn't work on Ubuntu 10.10. insmod ./dummynet2/ipfw_mod.ko complains about an incompatible module. – Jan Deinhard Feb 18 '11 at 08:14

You might need to ensure you have an identical kernel version to the one listed on the dummynet homepage. – hookenz Feb 19 '11 at 03:24
