Test and Optimise Performance Before Launching
Netropy Network Emulator
  • Concurrent Testing: Multiple emulation engines (Netropy N91, 10G2, 10G4) enable simultaneous performance testing for complex scenarios.
  • Packet Filtering: Assign packets to specific links using IP address, VLAN, or other identifiers for precise testing.
  • Bandwidth Emulation: Simulate links from 100 bps to 100 Gbps, accommodating diverse network environments. Throttle bandwidth speeds to identify how much bandwidth an application needs, which can prevent over-purchasing.
  • Realistic Latency: Emulate delays up to 20 seconds in each direction, with jitter control in 0.01 ms increments, dropped packet simulation, and more.
  • Interface Flexibility: Supports copper and SFP ports, with dual-rate 1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports for seamless integration.
  • Packet Loss & Corruption: Test the impact of random, burst, or periodic packet loss and corruption on critical applications like video and VoIP.
  • Capture & Replay: Record real-world network delay and loss characteristics, then replay them for accurate performance analysis.
  • Background Utilisation: Simulate congested networks without additional traffic generators or client machines.

Emulate Complex Network Scenarios for Advanced Performance Testing
Test application performance under real-world conditions at speeds up to 100 Gbps. The Netropy Network Emulator is both more powerful and easier to use than other leading network testing devices. With Netropy, your IT team can deploy complex test networks in just minutes.

Apposite’s Netropy network emulators offer advanced capabilities to benchmark, troubleshoot, and optimize the performance of critical applications. Netropy’s unique, high-performance Emulation Engine enables high-precision emulation of up to 30 separate WAN links to model complex network topologies or run multiple concurrent tests. 

Each path is configured with its own bandwidth, latency, loss and other impairments. Endpoints can be assigned to the appropriate path by IP address range, VLAN, or any other packet identifier,.and application port number. 

Netropy models are available with up to 4 separate Emulation Engines per unit, and capacities up to 100 Gbps. Netropy is also available in a software version, NetropyVE, that runs as a virtual machine in virtual test environments and a cloud version, NetropyCE, that is available in the AWS Marketplace.

Netropy network emulators are configured and managed through an intuitive, browser-based interface for easy operation, or through a fully RESTful API for integration with test automation tools.
