the ethernet, or shim ethernet, device seems like a better place for this.
ip is not the only protocol! that's what loopback(3) does, but without
the real network. it would be good to plug loopback or similar into a real
ethernet. it's also worth looking at loopback's implementation strategy,
which allows for µs delays. sleep is just too course-grained for my
testing.
dialing up random reordering would seem to me to be a feature at
this level.
