Yes, I want to simulate network load. – Vish Jan 22 '13 at 04:58

I am thinking of Java, but I am newbie in Java. – Vish Jan 22 '13 at 04:58

Then why would you think Java? – Matt Ball Jan 22 '13 at 04:59

Because it can run multiple threads at once, whereas php is only one thread and also it can timeout. – Vish Jan 22 '13 at 04:59

You could open a few thousand `Keep-Alive` connections. – Blender Jan 22 '13 at 05:03

Make a huge file and make it publically accessible then just make a page which loads the image and then calls itself.
(Note this is an infinite loop so you should probably put something in to be able to stop it such as a time constraint or a counter)
Something like this idea might do:
<?php
//waster.php
header('Connection: close');
header('Content-Length: 0');
file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/hugeimage.jpg');
file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/waster.php');

In order to waste bandwidth you don't need a continuously running php script. It will waste processing not bandwidth. Just write a PHP script to Display a large Image file and write a utility or script (unix) in a local machine to continuously call that url and download the image and perhaps delete it.
Anyway seems like something evil is going to happen :)

Depending on what you are trying to do, you could use a tool like Fiddler to simulate network latency or slow connection speeds.
