Description

I'm trying to simulate a network locally using the --localhost parameter, but it only seems to be setting the RTT, not the packetLoss.

Research direction

Start by locating the command-line entry point that handles --localhost and trace how it applies RTT settings. Check where packetLoss is parsed and whether localhost mode omits it; done means localhost simulation applies both RTT and packetLoss, with an appropriate test or reproducible verification.
