CT963
LANforge-ICE 1Gbps WAN Emulator
The CT963 is an excellent choice for a 1U rackmount network emulator supporting speeds up to 990Mbps (bi-directional) or 1Gbps when traffic load is not maxed out in both directions.
The CT963 fits into a standard rack and is only 14 nches deep. It supports standard VGA, Keyboard, and Mouse interfaces for easy console/desktop access.
The CT963 is relatively noisy, so it is better suited for data center deployment than a desktop environment. The CT962 hardware can support up to 3 concurrent WAN emulations with aggregate bandwidth of about 1.6Gbps bi-directional.
Rack-Mount
Software Features
- General purpose WAN and Network impairment emulator.
- Able to simulate independent DSL, CableModern, Satellite links and other rate-limited networks, from 10bps up to 1Gbps (full duplex). Total aggregate throughput will not exceed 1.6Gbps
- Can modify various network attributes including: network speed, latency, jitter, packet-loss packet-reordering, and packet-duplication.
- Supports Packet corruptions, including bit-flips, bit-transposes, and byte-overwrites
- Supports WanPath features to allow configuration of specific behavior between different IP subnets, MAC addresses, or other packet filters using a single pair of physical interfaces.
- Supports routed and bridged mode for more flexibility in how you configure your network and LANforge-ICE.
- Supports WAN emulation across virtual 802.1Q VLAN interfaces.
- Supports WAN-Playback, allowing one to capture the characteristics of a live WAN and later have LANforge-ICE emulate those captured characteristics.
- Allows packet sniffing and network protocol decoding with the integrated Wireshark protocol sniffer.
- Includes comprehensive management information detailing all aspects of the LANforge system including processor statistics, test cases, and Ethernet port statistics.
- GUI runs as Java application on Linux, MAC, and Microsoft Operating Systems (among others).
- GUI can run remotely, even over low-bandwidth links to accomodate the needs of the users.
- CIncludes easy built-in scripting to automatically iterate through bandwidth, latency, and other settings.
