Comment(by robgjansen):
I would change the Shadow part to the following:
[https://github.com/shadow/shadow Shadow] is a network simulator that can
run Tor through its Scallion plug-in. Although it's typically used for
running load and performance tests on substantially larger Tor test
networks than what's feasible with Chutney, it also makes for an excellent
debugging tool since you can run completely deterministic experiments. A
large Shadow network is on the size of thousands of instances of Tor, and
you can run experiments out of the box using one of Shadow's several
included scallion experiment configurations. Shadow can be run on any
linux machine without root, and can also run on EC2 using a pre-configured
image. Also, Shadow controls the time of the simulation with the effect
that time consuming tests can be done more efficiently than in an ordinary
testing network. The [https://github.com/shadow/shadow/wiki Shadow wiki]
and [http://shadow.github.io/ Shadow website], are good places to get
started.
