The Netropy 100G is the most diverse network emulation tool available for validating the performance of 100GbE network equipment and the industry’s first testing appliance capable of emulating 25/40/50/100Gbps WAN links (Quad 25Gbps channels, QSFP28 Optics). The 100G comes with two QSFP28 100GbE emulation ports and can handle an aggregate throughput of 150Gbps. The 100G allows users to quickly deploy test networks and emulate impairments like latency, loss, and congestion through an intuitive, web-based GUI.

Validating the performance of 100GbE network infrastructures, devices, and storage mechanisms that handle mission-critical business applications is essential to deployment success. With the ability to configure and test multiple if/then scenarios under real-world conditions, the Netropy 100G provides a fast, easy, and accurate way to evaluate the effects of network impairments before going live and identify and address issues before it’s too late.

NetropyVE™ is the virtual edition of the Netropy network emulator. It offers advanced capabilities to benchmark, troubleshoot, and optimize the performance of critical applications in virtualized test environments. Every virtual machine can be assigned a unique WAN access profile, and then controlled to insert latency, jitter, packet loss, and congestion.

Simulate Bandwidth, Latency & Jitter, Loss

• Change WAN impairments and view results in real time
• Configure via browser or automate with CLI
• Profile live networks and import into WAN simulation
• Replay capture files as background traffic

Why use the software version of Netropy? Many software development teams run their tests in a cloud or private datacenter where they do not have the ability to install an appliance. With NetropyVE, it is now possible to install WAN emulation between virtual resources. For high bandwidth applications Netropy appliances are available supporting all speeds up to 100Gbps.

NetropyVE can run in VMWare ESXI or KVM environments.
