What I would typically do is setup netem on an inbound qdisc and whatever
is under test on the outbound.

even then, care is needed to ensure netem itself is not the bottleneck, has
an appropriate packet limit (I use millions), and that you are not running
out of cpu. For example it is really hard to pull 4gbit on cheap hw with
default qdiscs.
