NetDisturb Impairment Emulator Software for IP Networks (IPv4 & IPv6) |
 |
Key Features
 |
NetDisturb software is available in
two editions: |
 |
 |
|
Common Key Features for the Standard and Enhanced Editions |
| - | Simultaneous support of IPv4 and IPv6 |
| - | Client-Server architecture based on the SOAP mechanism which uses the HTTP protocol and the XML format for the exchanges between the Client and the Server |
| - | NetDisturb is an Ethernet bridge to avoid any network configuration |
| - | use of standard Ethernet Network Interface Cards up to 1 Gbps |
| - | Symmetric or Asymmetric bandwidth limitation with router simulation |
| - | Very easy to use and intuitive Graphical User Interface |
| - | 16 configurable flows per direction |
| - | Aggregates of flows can be defined (set of flows sharing the same Delay & Jitter characteristics |
| - | User-defined rules for disturbances: pattern trigger, starting time after delay or number of packets received, stop impairments after number of received packets or elapsed time, loops and more... |
| - | Predefined filter parameters based on the main protocol header fields (MAC, MPLS, VLAN, IP, TCP and UDP headers) and user-defined pattern filter |
| - | Unidirectional or bi-directional packet impairments |
| - | Impairments: Latency, Loss, Duplication, bandwidth limitation, Delay and Jitter, Content impairment (mathematical laws or user-defined files) |
| - | Change the impairment law on-the-fly for a flow |
| - | Ability to impair the remaining network traffic that could be either only the IP packets or all the Ethernet frames |
| - | Connections per flow: impairments are applied to the flow or to each connection of the flow |
| - | Ethernet / Internet modes (Out-of-Sequence packets) |
| - | Command Line Interface (CLI) to use NetDisturb in test beds |
| - | Ethernet Jumbo frames supported (payload up to 17,976 bytes) |
| - | Statistics display and export detailed statistics into a file |
| - | Accuracy = 1 millisecond resolution |
|
Specific Key Features for the Enhanced Edition |
| - | Impairments based on
protocol primitives:
|
||||||||||||||||||
| - | RTP and FTP data flow automatic discovery | ||||||||||||||||||
| - | Detailed event log window per flow viewing the events and application of the impairments according to the user-defined rules |
|
Comparison between NetDisturb Standard Edition and NetDisturb Enhanced Edition |
| Features |
|
|
| Impairment of IPv4 & IPv6 packets, ARPs and Ethernet frames | Yes | Yes |
| Filter parameters
to define a flow: * Activity rules: - Start/Stop after a time limit or a packet counter or a pattern trigger - Loop to reapply the rule with delay between each iteration * Packet filters: source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol, DSCP DiffServ (ToS), MPLS, VLAN, MAC address... * User-defined pattern filter based on Ethernet packet content |
Yes | Yes |
| 16 User-defined flows to impair using filters and other flows to impair without using filters | Yes | Yes |
| Dynamically modify impairments on-the-fly per flow in each direction when running | Yes | Yes |
| Aggregates of flows (set of flows sharing the same delay and jitter characteristics) | Yes | Yes |
| View Per-Flow statistics and NICs statistics | Yes | Yes |
| Accuracy = 1 millisecond | Yes | Yes |
| Standard
