NetDisturb is an IP network emulator software that can generate impairments (latency, delay, jitter, limited bandwidth, lost and duplication packets) over IP networks. NetDisturb allows the user to disturb flows on an IP network (IPv4 or IPv6), and thus to study the behavior of applications, devices or services in a disturbed network environment.
NetDisturb is inserted between two Ethernet segments (on the same IP network or two different IP networks) and operates bi-directional packet transfer on Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit network interface cards.
Product requirements
► Platform: PC running Windows 2000, XP or 2003 Server and at least 512 MB Ram. ► PC multiprocessors and hyper-threading supported. ► Display: 1,024 x 768 min. resolution. ► Two Identical Network Interfaces Cards (NIC): Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network interface card.
Configurations
Based on a Client-Server architecture, the NetDisturb software comprises of two parts Server and Client where the Server handles the impairment characteristics and the Client manages the Server using a simple graphical interface
This allows two configurations where the Server and Client parts may be installed on the same PC host (local control) or the Server part resides on one PC and the Client part resides on a second PC (remote control). In this second configuration, the Client dialogs with the Server by using a Wan (for example: PSTN or ISDN) or LAN link.
Both configurations require two identical Ethernet Cards for the Server.
Key features
n Client-Server Architecture n 16 configurable IP flows per direction n Unidirectional or bidirectional packet impairments with pre-defined mathematical laws or user defined files n Connections per IP flow: impairments are applied to the IP flow or to each connection of the IP flow n Ethernet / Internet modes (desequencing of the packets) n Easy to use and intuitive Graphical User Interface n Statistics display
