I have installed xcode 4.3.1 on my machine running Lion.
I can't find the Network Link Conditioner tool anywhere.
I have checked the utilities folder, also the xcode/contents/developer/* directories.. no such luck.
Do I need to install specific components or has this tool been removed or renamed recently?

Network Link Conditioner is provided by Apple on its website. You must be an Apple Developer in order to get access to the tool. You can register to become a developer before you try to download. It is a part of a group of tools called Hardware IO Tools for Xcode.
The Network Link Conditioner can be found inside the Hardware folder. By double-clicking the app you can install the utility in your System Preferences. The application is quite similar to the iOS variant and also contains a list of custom presets. These can be used to simulate a range of Network conditions.
For a device, tethered it to your MacBook, unlock your device and navigate to the Window -> Devices and Simulators menu option in Xcode and you should see your device. Wait for your device to be setup for development, if not already, and then on your device navigate to Settings -> Developer -> Network Link Conditioner.
It's in an additional download. Use this menu item:
Xcode > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools...
and get "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode".
For Xcode 8+, get "Additional Tools for Xcode [version]".
Double-click on a .prefPane file to install. If you already have an older .prefPane installed, you'll need to remove it from /Library/PreferencePanes.

You can also install any of the Hardware IO Tools without installing XCode itself. Simply visit Apple's Download Center and search for "Hardware IO".
