Reducing bandwidth for testing

Question

For testing purposes etc. I need 1) Ways to reduce bandwidth on a connection (each direction) 2) Simulate broken connection. 3) Measure bandwidth, perhaps see whats going through.

I am thinking of something like a proxy or perhaps something plugging into Apache/Tomcat

(Should look like a http URL/URI to the client)
