The Netropy N60 Network Emulator offers 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 15 separate WAN links to model complex network topologies or run multiple concurrent tests.
The Netropy N60 is configured and managed through an intuitive, browser-based interface for easy operation, or through a comprehensive command line interface for integration with test automation tools.
The Netropy N60 emulates complex networks up to 1 Gbps.

Features
Easy to Use
The Netropy N60 Network Emulator is quick to install, intuitive to configure, and easy to operate. The Netropy GUI provides the responsiveness of an application with the convenience of a standard web browser.
Multiple Links
The Netropy N60 simulates up to 15 separate WAN links. Packets are assigned to individual links by any combination of IP source and destination address range (IPv4 or IPv6), VLAN, MAC address, MPLS label, TCP or UDP port numbers, or any other packet field.
Bandwidths up to 1 Gbps
Accurately simulate links from 100 bits per second up to 1 Gbps. Versions also available with maximum emulation speeds of 2 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 45 Mbps and 100 Mbps for users who do not need the full gigabit capacity.
Latency up to 10 sec
Emulate delay and jitter up to 10 seconds, in increments of 0.1 ms, with a constant, normal, or uniform distribution.
Packet Loss and Corruption
Set random, burst, or periodic packet loss, or a bit error rate. Test the effect of corrupt packets on voice and video applications.
Capture and Replay Live Network Conditions
Capture live network conditions with the Netropy Recorder and replay them through the Netropy Network Emulator to reproduce the dynamic delay and loss characteristics of the production network in a repeatable test environment.
Background Utilization
Test how applications run over a congested network without costly traffic generators or a rack full of client machines using Netropy's unique background utilization feature.
Traffic Monitor
View and download up to 24 hours of throughput graphs and link statistics.
Automated Testing
Automate testing using the comprehensive command line interface.
Copper or SFP interfaces
The Netropy N60 is available with either copper RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or SFP Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for convenient connection to any copper or fiber-based network.
User Controls and Security
Use SSL or SSH for secure access to the Netropy interface. Individual users can lock their engine to prevent configuration changes by any other user.
Unsurpassed Precision
Test with confidence - the high-precision Netropy Emulation Engine ensures accurate and reproducible results.
Self Monitoring
The Netropy Emulation Engine displays self monitoring indicators of available processing and buffering resources to guarantee testing validity.
Priced Right
Get the functionality and performance you need at a price you can afford. Available with a maximum emulation speed of 2 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 45 Mbps, or 100 Mbps as well as 1 Gbps for users who don't need the full gigabit-speed capacity of the N60.
Everything You Need
Apposite makes buying easy by including everything in one low price. No additional hardware, software, or training required.
Uses
With the ability to simulate up to 15 separate WAN links, the Netropy N60 has a myriad of uses:
Emulate multi-site networks
Model a full enterprise network of regional, branch, and local offices, telecommuters, and partners, all connected to headquarters or centralized datacenter.
- View applications as they will be seen by different end users
- Verify the operation of application servers with concurrent users
Side-by-side benchmarking
Run separate tests side-by-side to:
- View the effects of different conditions on application responsiveness
- Compare products from different vendors
- Tune application settings
- Analyze the benefits of acceleration and optimization products
Isolate individual applications
Segregate traffic from individual devices and apply impairments to specific applications
Concurrent testing
Complete a matrix of conditions by running multiple tests in parallel
GUI
Netropy advanced network emulators are quick to install and easy to operate. Configuration requires only a few simple steps through the intuitive, browser-based GUI.
Netropy main configuration and monitoring window.
Set the bandwidth, delay, loss, and other network conditions for each link in the Path Configuration window.
Direct packets onto individual links by IP address, VLAN, or other packet fields in the Classifier Configuration window.
Lifecycle
Network design
Build "what-if" scenarios to choose between private lines, internet VPNs, and wireless and satellite networks to connect offices across the globe, and determine how much bandwidth to purchase to ensure critical applications perform as needed.
Application validation
See how applications will perform prior to roll-out and avoid unpleasant surprises and panic fixes later
Vendor selection
Compare products from different vendors to select the one that works best on your network.
Tuning
Adjust application settings to optimize performance for different end users. Optimization: Analyze the benefits of WAN acceleration products to optimize the existing infrastructure.
Troubleshooting
Pinpoint the cause of reported problems and complaints, then validate potential solutions without disrupting the production network.
