Run it like
throttle -p 3000 -d 1000ms -s 256Kbit/s start
d - network delay you want
s - speed
Earlier quoted context omitted.
tc
Excellent. I sort of expected an utility like this to be part of a "standard installation". Are there good examples of using tc to emulate a crappy connection?
You don't need an app for this. I wrote a shell script which uses ipfw for exactly this purpose (Most probably this app uses ipfw too) here is the script- https://gist.github.com/1409218 Run it like throttle -p 3000 -d 1000ms -s 256Kbit/s start p - Port d - network delay you want s - speed

This is really nice, thank you. Just curious though, any reason why you don't make a full featured github repo for it so people could follow updates in future, suggest changes etc?

For designers working with css, going to the command line can be daunting. So you could wrap this in a nice app on the dock or the menu bar, and maybe you'd like a couple of euro for your time and writing some support documentation..
I used to use the ipfw commands directly. I didn't want the client to remember the syntax and also starting and stopping the throttling involved a couple of commands which can go wrong. So I wrote this and also had some default values so that he can just do throttle start and throttle stop

It's called the "network conditioner" and it does lag, packet loss, latency, bandwidth limiting, and more. And it's free.
At least this guy has the decency to point out that it's already built into OS X right there on the landing page ;)
If you need to do this stuff to a saturated gigabit pipe in both directions, then may I suggest the superbly named 1U Network Nightmare, yours for only $9999.
