Can I use System.Threading to simulate user connection speed or is there a better way or tool.
Thanks in advance.

Fiddler2 is an HTTP proxy that allows you to simulate modem speeds. (I don't know about throttling tools for TCP, much less UDP)
edit for comment:
It sets itself as the WinInet (system) proxy on startup, captures even localhost requests (see this in case of problems); also, it can reroute requests to a different host (i.e. a request to example.com becomes a request to localhost).
Also, it has a powerful scripting engine which allows you to make custom processing rules.

or even with a period at the end of the IP: http://127.0.0.1. <- note the final period a little out of place and it works :) – balexandre May 07 '09 at 08:24

man, great everything works, but how i can make presets for speeds like DSL, 56 Modem ? – DevMania May 07 '09 at 08:42

@devmania: Check http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-LocalTraffic then - there are several ways of resolving this. – Piskvor left the building May 07 '09 at 10:21

+1. Fiddler is a great tool, worth installing for any web dev work not just throttling. – Steve May 07 '09 at 10:39

@devmania: "but how i can make presets for speeds like DSL, 56 Modem?" Ask SO =D No, really, this warrants a question of its own. – Piskvor left the building May 07 '09 at 13:08

http://www.ozspeedtest.com/ provides a simpler speed testing system than speedtest.net, so it should be pretty easy to run the test from C# (it just involves downloading certain sized images).
I assume you're doing something clientside.
