Linktropy 7500 PRO WAN Emulators

Linktropy 7500 Pro

Overview

The Linktropy 7500 PRO, the WAN Emulator brings with it an impeccable accuracy at irresistible prices. It simulates wide-area network bandwidth, delay, jitter, packet loss, congestion, and other important link impairments at speeds of up to 1 Gbps per link. It can emulate up to 4 separate individual links at the same time with a throughput of 4 Gbps, this makes it a perfect match for multi-link configurations and multi-user labs as well.

It's well adapted to terrestrial, wireless, satellite, Internet and other wide area networks. Fast to install and easy to use, with its browser-based graphical interface you can be up and running in no time.

Features - Apposite WAN Emulation Appliance Model, Linktropy 7500 PRO

General Features

Easy to Use: The Linktropy 7500 PRO WAN Emulators are easy to install and configure. All you need to do is to plug in the Ethernet cables, specify your link conditions and start off with the emulation process. Moreover, neither do you need to install any software nor is there any training required. The responsive GUI interface makes it easier to use.

Bandwidths up to 1 Gbps: You can Emulate WAN bandwidths up to 1 Gbps in each direction, per link across 4 separate links to an aggregate of 4 Gbps and 3 million packets per second.

Delay up to 10 sec: Emulate latency ranges from 0.1 millisecond up to 10 seconds for all the directions in a uniform distribution.

Error Emulation: It offers the facility to specify loss as a packet loss rate, bit error rate, or both.

Congestion: It allows you to assess the impact of congestion on bandwidth as well as jitter-sensitive applications by specifying the background link utilization and associated burstiness.

Advanced Emulation Parameters: This feature allows you to verify whether the applications and networking equipment effectively handle anomalous packet reordering and duplication conditions smoothly or not and without compromising on performance. Moreover, it lets you adjust the framing overhead and maximum queue depth to simulate real link behavior.

Copper and Fiber Gigabit Ethernet: You can connect it using either copper or modular fiber/copper Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the Linktropy 7500 as it allows for an easy installation on any local network.

Unique Linktropy Scheduler: Emulate any combination of parameters to vary over time such as, making link outages, variable bandwidth links, satellite rain fade, wireless interference, etc.

Traffic Monitor: This feature enables a visual representation of the current traffic, with the help of graphs and link statistics.

Bridging/Routing: You have the choice to install the product as a bridge or as a router, as per your requirements.

Automated Testing: With the Linktropy Scheduler or the command line interface you can automate a whole array of tests.

Unsurpassed Precision: The product offers a high precision and accuracy of results.


Network Emulation

Terrestrial: Lets you emulate the bandwidth, delay, and loss characteristics of T1, E1, T3, E3, OC-3, ATM, xDSL, Frame Relay, and dialup modems.

Wireless: Use Linktropy to find out if a wireless solution fits your needs.

Internet: Use Linktropy to find out in advance, the impact of busy Internet connections and plan appropriate countermeasures.

Satellite: Assess how long delays and high error rates of satellite networks can impact the protocols and applications.


Applications

Product Development: It can help you assess how the networking equipment, software, and client/server applications developed by you work in different conditions. Moreover with this product you have the ability to emulate 4 independent links, which means that 4 individuals can use the device at the same time.

QA Testing: Efficiently and economically let your QA team to execute 4 sets of tests side by side.

Network Validation: WAN emulation through Linktropy 7500 PRO can help you to judiciously make a choice about how you want to connect across the globe (through viz terrestrial, wireless, satellite, and other WAN technologies) by enabling you to analyze how delay, jitter, and loss affect performance of critical applications.

Product Demonstrations: Successful Demonstration is the key to instilling confidence in your customers about your products. Once you show them the performance of your products in a variety of different network conditions, your sales are sure to show an increase.

Product Benchmarking: Test and compare the performance of 4 different products simultaneously, and analyze the difference between competing solutions for video, voice, and other applications.

Troubleshooting: If Your application's performances are taking a hit, you can use this product to pinpoint the cause of the problem and fix it. All this without disturbing your normal operations.

VoIP: If you plan to deploy Voice over IP you can test it beforehand for quality degrades with latency, jitter and packet loss.

Video and IPTV: You can make use of the Linktropy 7500 PRO to help you assess whether the transmission and reception of Video and television over the IP networks work well enough with loss and congestion.
