Network Nightmare ( NN-Minus @ $799.oo )
The Network Nightmare is a sophisticated yet inexpensive wide area network
simulator. Use it to simulate real world conditions from the comfort of
your own laboratory or desktop! The bandwidth can be limited, the Round
Trip Time (RTT) of a wide area network (WAN) connection factored in, and
even lossy networks can be emulated. This serves to create a
virtual network that you can use to debug applications, do web
performance tuning, perform video research or even benchmark performance
from the remote sites of the distributed enterprise.
The Network Nightmare comes with three network interfaces. This enables
you to use one to remotely control the device, and two to process traffic.
By default the Network Nightmare will bridge the "Network 1" and "Network
2" ports, for simple installation. You can also change it to operate as a
router instead.
NN-Minus Features Include:
- Bridged or routed configuration
- Simulate wide area network constraints (1 Kbps to 25 Mbps)
- Induce delay of arbitrary amounts of latency to account for network
hops, Internet congestion, VPN processing, and the speed of light.
- Test your application resilience to packet loss
- Extremely small footprint
- Very simple to manage
- Intuitive menu interface
- No hassle config mode - mess up the running configuration and just
power-cycle to recover your saved configuration.
- Both console (serial) and network (telnet/ssh) control
