The Hurricane V IP network emulator provides WAN emulation and network simulation for very high data rates. The Hurricane V emulates any network condition in a repeatable and controllable lab setting. To re-create any network condition, the emulator can impair IP and non-IP traffic, provide dynamic, time-varying impairments, and use a fully independent and flexible GUI architecture. Data generation provides network simulation without utilizing network resources or equipment.

The Hurricane V is our low cost network emulator for very high data rates. Network emulation is implemented by using the following impairments: Delay, Jitter, Decimate, Drop, DropNOW, Reorder, Throttle, Duplicate, Burst Drop, Bit Error, Packet Accumulate & Burst, FEC Aware, and Active Video.

Using the Hurricane V is very easy. The user connects to the network emulator either by using a web browser or a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Hurricane V provides check boxes to create impairments and network links. The filter and impairment parameters of every link are displayed during emulation for ease of use. Configuration settings can be stored and recalled. Packet Capture allows the user to capture on emulator port. Lastly, dynamic network emulation can be implemented by making impairment parameter “changes-on-the-fly” or by setting up a dynamic profile before network emulation has started.
