Simulation
- Based on Calculations and Mathematical Formulas
- Does not have to operate in Real-Time
- Mathematically models Real-World Networks
Network Simulation is often confused with Network Emulation but they are not the same thing, and have very different purposes. Network Simulation is used to model the behaviour of a network by calculating the interaction between the different network entities using mathematical formulas. Network Simulators are generally used for academic or research purposes. Unlike a Network Emulator, you cannot usually run real network traffic through a Network Simulator.
Emulation
- Runs Real Algorithms on Real Network Traffic
- Operates in Real-Time
- Mimics Real-World Networks
Network Emulators are used by organizations that need to verify application performance in an environment that accurately replicates the real-world networks. Network Emulators subject real network traffic to network impairments, in order to mimic the experience of a real-world network.
We offer a range of WAN Emulation products to enable you to realistically recreate the conditions of your existing or proposed network in a repeatable and controlled environment. NE-ONE Network Emulators are available on a range of platforms and model options, to best suit your requirements.
Desktop
Rack-Mount
Virtual
Furthermore, using one of the NE-ONE network emulators will enable you to make changes to, and model a network environment in ways that your network manager would simply not allow in the live network or enable you to model how the application will work over new networks that you do not have ready access to.
NE-ONE Network Emulator products can be used to emulate a variety of networks including:
- High Latency WANs
- Jittery Networks
- Networks that lose and/or damage traffic
- QoS based networks
- Routed Networks
and all combinations of these network types.
Typical network types, and network impairments that can be realistically replicated using an iTrinegy Network Emulator include:
WAN
LAN
Mobile (3G, 4G, etc.)
Cloud, Satellite, (A)DSL +More
Bandwidth Restrictions
Delay (Latency & Jitter
Packet Re-ordering, Packet Error & Packet Loss
Traffic Shaping & Traffic Prioritization (QoS) – NE-ONE Enterprise only.
