I'm working on an article about advances in Linux networking (eg, Cake), but with a demonstration anyone can do, to convince doubters.

I therefor need a way to show how crappy someone's network is. I tried Skype "echo" calls and an couple of similar approaches, then tried playing you-tube videos, all while throwing a load on the network.

But it doesn't visibly fail.

What is something that I can make fail, either audibly or visually? Showing my grandmother ping statistics isn't going to work (;-))
