Netropy TrafficEngine Traffic Generation Application Virtual Edition

Description

Ensuring network performance and resiliency at scale has become increasingly challenging as networks grow more and more complex. With its modern, wizard-driven test approach, TrafficEngine allows users to benchmark the raw packet level performance of networks and devices with classical performance measurements. Quickly and easily assess complex network topologies by generating line rate stateless traffic and emulating up to a million traffic flows. Ensure network performance, QoS policies, and resiliency at scale by stress testing under the most challenging scenarios. Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks in the lab, before you go live.

TrafficEngine is available on high performance appliances and virtual machines. Configure tests with ease on the feature-rich, browser-based GUI or with our comprehensive RESTful API for increased automation. Run multiple tests at once and keep them running in the background, collaborate with your team, and easily connect and perform tests from anywhere.

Netropy TrafficEngine Virtual Edition Features:

Load Profile and Traffic Scheduling
Using the Load Profile and Traffic Scheduling Wizard the user can specify the ramp up, ramp down, total duration, number of Iterations and also specify the Traffic Stream Distribution. This is helpful in simulating real-world network traffic patterns like: Daily Peak Period, Weekdays versus Weekend, Fixed Daily Measurement Interval (FDMI), and other peak events.
Traffic Distribution
Traffic Distribution Wizard lets you configure the utilisation of bandwidth per stream.
Real Time Statistics
TrafficEngine provides real time aggregate statistics on per port and per stream basis.
Latency and Jitter Calculation
Real-Time aggregate and per stream of min, max, and average latency and jitter calculation.
Stream Based Traffic Generation
Create custom streams using the Stream configuration wizard. Mac address, VLAN, IP Address and other parameters can be randomised or incremented in a set pattern.
Scale
Create up to 512 unique streams per port where each stream can have 1 million flows.
Scripting and Automation
Comprehensive RESTful API’s for test automation.
Packet Editing
Edit packet header fields and payloads on the fly with increment, decrement, repeat, fixed, or user defined criteria.
Real-Time Flow Filtering and Detection
Filter and single out the best or worst performing flows based on tracking settings with user defined criteria.
