We are looking to simulate latency on the network to test an application in a WAN environment.
Would it be plausible looking to iRules to investigate if this is possible?
Any pointers/tipes would be appreciated.

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set y1 [clock clicks -milliseconds]
for { set x 0 } { $x < 100000 } { incr x } {do nothing}
set y2 [clock clicks -milliseconds]
set time1 [expr $y2 - $y1]
log "For loop time is $time1 milliseconds"
}
This kind of rule can, as you might imagine, introduce serious latency in connections to your BIG-IP, and should only be used in a testing environment.
