Intuitive & Intelligent Pictorial Web GUI

At the heart of NE-ONE Professional’s ease-of-use is its intelligent user interface which is designed to make setting up and running a real-world test network achievable in a few minutes. NE-ONE Professional eliminates the need to spend hours learning complex tools with cumbersome tabular interfaces and scripting. Instead, use your preferred browser (no plug-in required) and select the required values using pre-populated network parameters from drop-down menus.

Predefined Link Types & Associated Properties

Drawing on our expertise, we have populated the NE-ONE Professional with representative latency, loss, bandwidth and other network characteristics, to reflect Excellent, Good, Average and Poor link qualities typically encountered in real networks. However, for more experienced users or where specific conditions need to be configured, NE-ONE Professional has a comprehensive library of impairment options.

Dual Hop / Last Mile Emulation

Frequently real networks comprise more than a single uniform segment i.e. Dual Hop. There is often another significant portion of the network chain, including a “last mile” hop. For example a data center to a branch office could include a WAN and Wi-Fi in the data path. NE-ONE Professional’s Dual Hop feature allows you to pictorially configure these hops quickly and easily to provide an overall experience to test with.

Geolocation Network Latency Calculator

Imagine you need to emulate a link from New York to London but you’re unsure of what latency to use. NE-ONE Professional comes with a catalogue of over 42,000 locations, so simply choose the required start and end point locations and NE-ONE Professional will calculate and insert the base latency for you.  

Multiple Concurrent Links (Paths)

NE-ONE Professional’s multi-link feature can simultaneously emulate up to 20 different network links (paths) between the end points, each link with its own characteristics, helping to save valuable testing time. For example, you can set up three links for 3G, 4G, 5G mobile networks and concurrently compare their application performance. NE-ONE Professional’s Link Qualification Criteria enables you to define what IP Addresses, Applications or VLANs use which link.

Real-World Network Conditions

When used in Advanced Mode, NE-ONE Professional provides access to more than 50 network impairments that provide accurate, realistic, repeatable and controllable network conditions. Each of these are further customizable to enhance the realism of your test setup. Please refer to the “NE-ONE Professional Emulator Impairment Data Sheet” for more information.

Graphs, Statistics & Packet Capture

NE-ONE Professional’s built-in graphing feature allows you to view and compare key network performance metrics in the GUI. Statistics can be exported for use in analytical tools enabling you to visualize and understand how the applications are being affected by changes in the network.

Network Scenario Builder

The unique Network Scenario Builder & Player, along with the scenarios themselves, are one of the key features available across the NE-ONE family that allow for a fully automated test network. Providing almost unlimited possibilities for recreating what happens in the real-world it lets you easily create time-based network scenarios to test how applications handle variations in network quality and availability.

Reports

NE-ONE’s Professional Reports provide you with instant visibility into how the test network was configured and how it was used. The ability to instantly see key performance metrics allow you to quickly identify application inefficiencies and reduce the amount of time troubleshooting.

Multi-User

Multiple simultaneous users can access the NE-ONE Professional enabling effective collaboration on configurations, graphs and test results.

External Integration

Packet Capture

Full packet capture in pcap format provides pervasive application visibility, analysis and troubleshooting for use with other tools including Wireshark.
