Knowing How Networks and Devices Will Behave Under Real-World Conditions
All too often, we see devices and applications come to market or deploy on a network without having faced the rigors of the real networks they must support. This makes for an unpleasant experience for the organizations using these products and their network end-users alike.
Whether in the lab or pre-deployment, effective testing requires a real-world environment that reproduces realistic network conditions and behavior. All software and hardware should be subjected to a realistic test environment before deployment.


Real-World Network Impairment Testing
Network Emulator 3 is a precision test instrument for 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE, and 10GE Ethernet impairment. The device allows users to accurately emulate the real network conditions that occur over live production LAN/WAN networks. By emulating realistic and worst-case network conditions in the lab, users can validate and test the performance of new hardware, protocols, and applications to prevent failures in production networks.
The Network Emulator 3 offers a rich feature-set to allow testing in a controlled lab environment with repeatable and predictable impairments.
