"Real-world" network booting

The ability to boot a PC from the network has been around since the 90's, standardized by the PXE specification published by Intel.  It leveraged DHCP and TFTP to enable devices to request and receive boot images from a server, which we've used for years with Windows Deployment Services (successor to the Remote Installation Server), Microsoft Configuration Manager, and many other OS deployment tools.But can you do it quickly and efficiently?

Simulating "real-world" networking

We spend a lot of time at 2Pint working with networking.  As our home page currently indicates, that is "no matter the network condition, infrastructure, cloud, or vendor."  Nothing beats real-world experience with this stuff, but it's still useful to be able to simulate something that is at least close.  How do you do that?
