Application Testing:
 
You’ve developed 
your client/server application and it works 
great on your local network. But how well 
will it run when users are located across 
town from the server, or on the other 
side of the world? Use the Linktropy 
WAN emulator to ensure your application 
works well under all conditions before 
deployment.
Troubleshooting: 
Your applications 
aren’t performing well and you need to find 
out why. Use the Linktropy WAN emulator 
in the lab to help pinpoint the cause of the 
problem and validate solutions without 
disrupting the production network.
Network Validation: 
You have to choose 
between terrestrial, wireless, satellite, and 
other WAN technologies to connect offices 
across the globe. The cost trade-offs are 
easy to quantify, but how do differing 
delay, jitter, and loss affect performance of 
critical applications? 
Optimization: 
Can tweaks to application 
settings improve performance? How much 
benefit  will  an  accelerator,  traffic  shaper, 
or application proxy provide? Use the 
Linktropy WAN emulator to find out. 
Website Performance: 
See your website 
as your users experience it and make sure 
it’s responsive. Verify that your e-commerce 
system doesn’t leave purchasers hanging 
when their links are slow. 
VoIP and Video: 
IP voice and video work 
perfectly in demonstrations on the LAN, 
but quality degrades with latency, jitter, 
and packet loss. Evaluate quality under 
real-world conditions to verify that they 
meet your requirements before making a 
commitment.
Disaster Recovery and Remote Backup: 
Data at remote offices needs to be backed 
up to a central facility, while centralized 
records have to be moved off-site for 
disaster recovery. Use the Linktropy 
WAN emulator to ensure that bandwidth 
limitations and link latency do not prevent 
the process from completing in the 
available time.
