INE-Enterprise is an extremely costeffective, feature-rich (Gigabit - 10/100/1000) network environment emulator that offers
excellent price-to-function performance acvailable. INE-Enterprise is the ideal tool for emulating the conditions likely to be
encountered in a live application rollout, reducing the potential for costly failure & embarrassment.
How an application will perform when deployed over a long distance (e.g. in a WAN)?
INE-Enterprise is a ‘network in a box’ offering the following capabilities:
Pre-deployment testing, verificatoin and fine-tuning of applications from the safety of an off-line environment prior to implementatoin of the live network. It has an ability to alter the characteristics of a (LAN) segment in a live network to mimic, for example a WAN.
INE Enterprise offers a quick, safe and precise predeployment testing and quality assurance of all business-critical applications with assistance in network design and capacity planning and an ability to perform multiple simultaneous emulations.
The types of network that can be created/emulated are:
High latency WANs (national,international)
Satellite Networks
Wireless networks (3G, WiFi,WiMAX)
Jittery networks that cause VoIP deployments a problem
QoS-based networks (i.e. MPLS)
Point-to-Point (ATM)
Radio/RoIP/IP-over-Radio
Routed networks
VLANS
Path Segmentation Adds greater realism
INE-Enterprise uses the concept of virtual “pipes” to represent different network segments. So you can configure a number of
parameters that influence the traffic flows to emulate specific network segments. The setting for each pipe can be saved
for easy retrieval later. Traffic entering any of INE-Enterprise’s physical interfaces passes through, and is influenced by, each pipe defined in a sequence before finally exiting another physical interface.
It is also possible to have pipe configurations dynamically change over time to more closely emulate real world conditions (e.g. increased packet loss during morning “rush hour”).
Features:
To reflect real-world conditions, INE Enterprise allows the uplink and downlink parameters to be configured independently. These parameters include:
Link Speed (Bandwidth): Sets the maximum speed (as bits per second) that the VI will support.
Bandwidth Allocation: Allocates bandwidth to IP Address/port/protocol/QoS combinations permitting emulation of packet shaping devices.
Delay (Latency): Sets the time taken for the traffic to traverse the VI boundaries.
Jitter: Variable latencies can be set
Queue length: Sets the size of the buffer. If data is constrained by the emulation so that it cannot pass through quickly enough, packets will be dropped once the queue is full (as they would in the real world)
Filters: Create groupings of traffic using address, port, protocol, VLAN etc.
Classes: Apply bandwidth restrictions (including burst above) and priorities to Filter Groupings, thus enabling traffic/packet shaping and non-FIFO packet prioritization as typically found in realworld networks.
Radio: A full set of IP over Radio features including a Shared Radio network environment (i.e. simulating radio frequencies and one transmitter at a time) with MCTT— Maximum Continuous Transmission Time –control etc.
Enhanced Routing: “Route” by IP address, Ethernet address, IP protocols, Ethernet protocol, custom etc., to other virtual pipes or physical network interfaces allowing a sophisticated emulation including QoS and different network paths to be created
Packet Drop/Loss: Percentage loss, steady loss, custom loss. Burst loss supported. Packet Error: Percentage error, steady error, custom error. Burst loss supported Packets sent in order: Packets can be transported in the same order they were sent or the order can be jumbled.
Quality: Selected traffic can be prioritized for preferential delivery. Other Features include:
Control of Queue Sizes (Bytes or Packets), TTL decrement, MTU, Packets optionally out of order, A Choice of User Interfaces
INE-Enterprise is supplied, as standard, with a tabular Web GUI. However, a simple-to-use, yet sophisticated Network Drawing Interface is available as an optional extra. This drag-and drop multi-platform GUI, enables users to configure and control the emulator through a rich pallet of objects such as buildings, people, computers, routers etc which will build the scenario needed with the added ability to connect these objects by lines representing the network paths.
Reporting, Graphing and Data, Export, Graphical and tabular reports are available and INE-Enterprise can produce log files of the dataflow through each interface of the Emulator in CSV format, for importing into other applications such as spreadsheets.
INE-Enterprise Benefits
INE-Enterprise will enable you to:
• Create a profile of current network characteristics and performance on a single box
• Establish a benchmark model to test and verify against
• Test over the emulated network from an off-line environment
• Identify potential disruptions to appl ication per formance by emulating a decreasing quality of connection.
• Fine tune applications and network strategies before implementation
• Develop, save, edit and re-use test templates
• Test using prioritized traffic
Network Capacity Planning
INE-Enterprise allows you to develop and fine tune networks and applications before implementations. For example:
Discover if you really need the bandwidth you have; Experience the effects of moving from a high-cost low bandwidth
private WAN to a low cost but high latency VPN over Internet solution before actually making the change
Emulate a WAN bandwidth increase to see if it provides the expected benefits
Server Consolidation & Virtualization Proof of Concept Testing
INE-Enterprise can recreate the network conditions of the new proposed virtualized environment so that you can test how applications will perform in these conditions before making the investment in the new virtualization technology. This ability to conduct realistic pre-deployment testing can help convince your senior decision makers about the benefits of adopting the new virtualized approach.
