L5500-2M
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 the emulation. No software to install, 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 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:
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 Fiber Interfaces:
The 5500 and 8500 are available with
either copper or SFP ports.
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 8500 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
confidenc
e — 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.
