NETEM is part of the Linux kernel, so you can find that wherever your preferred Linux distro is stored and/or kernel.org. You might want to start by looking at the iproute2 package, which is the user-mode tools.

However, I will also suggest that NETEM might not be what you want. What it "emulates" is not so much network topology as particular network conditions (shaping, packet delay/loss, traffic priorities, etc). You still need real network interfaces (hardware and/or software) on the box to use it.
