The Importance of Choosing a Hardware-Based Network Emulator
Download to learn about the difference between Hardware-based and Software-based Network Impairment Emulators.
- Repeatability
Without this, you lack trust in test results, and it is not possible to isolate the source of problems or prove problems are resolved prior to deployment.
- Realism
Without this, it is not possible to accurately predict real-world performance, and you lack confidence that what you see in the lab will translate to a real-world deployment.
- Control
Without precision control of delay, packet delay variation (jitter), and impairment conditions you lose visibility into issues, and can not quickly resolve performance or functional issues.
