Description
Emulate Network Latency
Linktropy allows you to simulate latency from 0.1 ms up to 10 seconds in a constant, normal or uniform distribution in either direction. You can also specify loss as either a packet loss rate, bit error rate or both. By using Linktropy‘s background traffic emulation, you can determine congestion effects on bandwidth and jitter-sensitive applications. Confirm that applications can adequately handle anomalous packet reordering and duplication conditions without creating performance or stability problems. You can easily integrate Linktropy with any test network as either a bridge or a router. Throughput graphs and link statistics provide a visual display of the current traffic, and you can download up to 24 hours of statistics for analysis. Automated testing is available using the Linktropy Scheduler or the command line interface.
Our network delay simulator tools provide repeatable, precise results for a wide range of uses, such as:
- Pre-deployment testing
- Network validation
- Application optimisation
- Troubleshooting
- Disaster recovery and remote backup
Emulate Any Complex Network Scenario with Netropy’s Advanced Feature Set
- Easy to Use: Linktropy WAN emulators are a snap to install and configure. Just plug in the Ethernet cables, specify your link conditions, and begin emulating networks. No complex software to install and no training needed. The Linktropy GUI combines the responsiveness of an application with the convenience of a standard web browser.
- Bandwidths up to 1 Gbps: Emulate links of any speed from 300 bits per second up to 1 Gbps.
- Delay up to 10 seconds: Emulate network latency from 0.1 ms up to 10 seconds in each direction in a constant, normal, or uniform distribution.
- Error Emulation: Specify loss as a packet loss rate, bit error rate, or both.
- Congestion: Determine the effects of congestion on bandwidth and jitter-sensitive applications by utilizing Linktropy’s background traffic emulation.
- Advanced Emulation Parameters: Linktropy’s state of the art application performance testing tools helps verify that applications properly handle anomalous packet reordering and duplication conditions without inducing stability or performance problems.
- Bridging/Routing: Install the Linktropy WAN emulator as either a bridge or router for easy integration with any test network.
- Copper or Fibre Interfaces: Available with either copper or SFP ports for easy integration into any network.
- Flexible Capacity: Pay only for the bandwidth that you need to emulate now, and upgrade later if you ever need to emulate higher speed links.
- Capture and Replay Live Network Conditions: Capture live network conditions with the Linktropy Recorder and replay them through the Linktropy WAN emulator to reproduce the varying characteristics of the actual network in a repeatable test environment.
- Traffic Monitor: See a visual display of the current traffic, including throughput graphs and link statistics. Download up to 24 hours of statistics for analysis.
- Multiple Links: Emulate multiple links with the 8510 model. Four separate pairs of Ethernet interfaces make simulation of multiple links as easy as a single link.
- Automated Testing: Take advantage of the Linktropy Scheduler or the command line interface to automate a series of tests.
- Unsurpassed Precision: Test with confidence — Linktropy WAN emulators offer unsurpassed precision to ensure accurate and reproducible results.
- Everything You Need: Everything you need is included in the compact, rack-mountable Linktropy WAN emulator. No additional hardware, software, or training required.
