Description
It would be interesting to add special transports for thing like:
- packet loss
- latency
- bandwidth limits
with parameters specified as the address.
Something like:
/ip4/1.2.3.4/testloss/0.7/udp/1234 # 70% packet loss
/ip4/1.2.3.4/testlat/0.250:1/udp/1234 # + ~ N(0.25, 1) s of latency
/ip4/1.2.3.4/testbw/10M:1M/udp/1234 # bandwidth ratio limit: 10Mbps down : 1Mbps up

Research direction
Use the three example multiaddrs as the initial behavioral scope and clarify how packet loss, latency, and bandwidth parameters should be represented. Done means an agreed design and implementation plan for these transports, including parsing and observable behavior; the payload names no files or tests to run.
