WAN Emulation

Our customers use Anue Systems Network Emulators in test labs to emulate a wide area network (WAN). WAN emulation allows application to be tested and validated under real world conditions. For example, if you’re troubleshooting WAN performance issues during a maintenance window, you will not be able to observe how your applications respond during peak traffic times. With the Anue Network Emulator emulating your WAN, you can address performance issues before deployment and proactively recreate scenarios to troubleshoot and resolve issues after deployment.  

Key Benefits

  • Increase confidence that deployed network applications and services will perform as required
  • Prevent under/over-engineering by precisely characterizing minimum required service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Emulate your WAN for post-deployment troubleshooting and problem resolution  

Anue Network Emulators

  • Run 100% line-rate traffic
  • Provide delay of 250ms+ and impairments at all bit rates
  • Automate or operate interactively, locally or remotely
  • Provide path-level delay and signal delay to allow technologies such as VCAT/LCAS/GFP to be tested  

Hardware Platforms

Anue Network Emulators are available on two platforms, Maui and Hawaii. Both Maui and Hawaii consist of a 2U rack-mount chassis.

  • The Maui platform supports up to four blades and data rates up to 2.6Gbps
  • The Hawaii platform supports up to two blades and data rates up to 11.3Gbps
