How flexible are PacketStorm IP network emulators?
The PacketStorm family of IP emulators model each traffic flow independently; in addition, they provide the capability to impair traffic flows based upon fields set inside the IP packets. Other emulators use a “lumped” element model. This limits not only the type of network models available but the ability to perform independent and dynamic IP network models. For instance, the order of impairments can cause different effects to the traffic flow. If the decimate and re-order impairments are used in a network link, the impairment order will matter: Impairment Order Packet Flow Output Decimate, Re-order 3,1,7,5,11,9…. Re-order, Decimate 2,4,6,8,10,12…. The PacketStorm family of IP emulators can create dynamic impairment models that change with traffic, time or the traffic behavior of another traffic flow. An emulator should provide dynamic impairment capability to recreate “real world” conditions.The emulator should be able to reflect slow access during peak Internet usage and fast ac
