Wide Area Network (WAN) emulation can be accomplished by introducing a WAN Emulation device on the Local Area Network (LAN) that imitates the network conditions of the environment being emulated. The device incorporates a variety of network attributes into its emulation model – including the round-trip time across the network (latency), the amount of available bandwidth, a given degree of packet loss, duplication of packets, reordering packets, and/or the severity of network jitter.
It’s not easy to ensure the performance of applications and services in today’s complex enterprise environments. Computrad Europe Ltd predict – with precision – how applications will perform once they’re deployed in any production network environment. By understanding network-application issues in advance you can determine which modifications to applications, services, network or infrastructure are needed to improve performance, robustness and scalability, eliminating the need for lengthy field trials and fix-as-you-go rollouts.
