Test before you deploy
Turn unpredictable networks into repeatable laboratory scenarios.
Applications that perform perfectly on a local network can behave very differently across WAN, satellite, radio, cellular, tactical or congested IP networks. NetMimic 1000 lets engineers reproduce those conditions on demand without changing the connected devices.

Realistic network emulation
Control the impairments that change application behaviour.
Configure network characteristics independently in each traffic direction and reproduce the same condition whenever a test must be repeated.
Packet Loss
Evaluate retransmission, protocol behaviour, application resilience and QoS under controlled loss.
Jitter
Reproduce changing delay for voice, video, streaming and other real-time applications.
Bandwidth Limitation
Restrict throughput to emulate low-capacity links and congestion-sensitive operating conditions.
Packet Duplication
Duplicate selected traffic to test protocol robustness against abnormal packet behaviour.
Packet Reordering
Change delivery order to evaluate multi-path and complex-network protocol behaviour.
Packet Corruption
Introduce controlled packet errors and observe how systems respond to unreliable traffic.
Link Interruption
Simulate temporary outages and unstable connectivity to validate recovery and failover mechanisms.
Web-based management
Change the network without rebuilding the test bench.
Engineers can define conditions, modify parameters, enable or disable impairments and move rapidly between test profiles while the physical topology remains unchanged.
