Integrating of Network Tester and Impairment Emulator

The increasing complexity of networks puts forward higher requirements and challenges for the testing of network equipment and network systems. In more and more scenarios, the verification of a network system requires the participation of multiple test equipment to complete, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of testing the system. The Ethertone integrates multiple function modes , can solve the above problems and make a significant cost saving.

Ethertone has multiple function modes including the mode of network tester, Ethernet impairment emulator and redundant link tester. All function modes can be switched flexibly and quickly. With the success of Ethertone, it become the multi-functional testers having the functions of Network Tester, Impairment Emulator,and redundant link tester and so on.

Ethernet Impairment Emulator Mode
	The Ethernet Impairment Emulator combines comprehensive network emulation to enable you to create impairments in an accurate and repeatable way that occur in a real WAN including latency, misorder packets, loss of packets, duplicated, errored and modified packets, background traffic and bandwidth control.
Network Tester Mode
	Ethertone Network Tester provides 10/100/1000M port wire-speed traffic generation with up to 64 streams per port, supports two test modes of high performance and high port density, and supports RFC2544 testing, which is available in a variety of network equipment test scenarios.
Redundant Link Tester mode
	The redundant link tester provides automatic link on-off capability and accurate switching time measurement capability, which can realize automatic alternating switching of primary and backup links, which can easily verify the switching performance of primary and backup links, and provide sufficient basis for verifying and improving redundant network systems.

For the scenarios that require the simultaneous use of Network Tester and Impairment Emulator, Ethertone's Network Tester + Impairment Emulator integrating mode can meet the test needs. Ports 1-4 of the equipment in this mode form two Impairment Emulator links, which have all the network Impairment Emulator functions in the network Impairment Emulator mode, and ports 5-8 have standard network test functions, which can be used to generate traffic, and the impairment emulating and traffic generating can run in one equipment at the same time.

Scene 1

Scene 2

Through the multiple functional modes provided by Ethertone, developers can quickly simulate various real scenarios in the network in the laboratory environment, construct a variety of test traffic and simulate various network impairments, fully verify the functionality and stability of the system before the system is delivered, and find and solve defects and hidden problems in the system in advance. Provide full guarantee for the smooth delivery of the equipment.
