You sometimes say packet and sometimes say package. Either package means a bundle of packets or you should be saying packet in all cases.

What are the options for this? I think you would need to simulate the network latency, which seems like a task for which tools will exist, but I don't have experience with them myself.

`lldb` <-> `proxy / buffer / router / random chaos generator` <-> `lldb-server`

I wonder what effort is required for that vs. putting this into lldb itself.
