Network Monitoring & Simulation
with IPNetSim™ IPN600 series
IPNetSim™ is an IP network simulator that simulates impairments commonly found in IP Networks,
such as bandwidth constriction, congestion, packet jitter, packet delay, packet bit errors, packet loss
and other conditions.
The new IPNetSim™ IPN600 series (IPN601 1Gbps Model and IPN610 10Gbps Model) offers 1 or
10 Gbps multi rate capability with four 1 or 10 Gbps SFP+ ports

Emulation Engine
•
Functions as a layer 2 bridge connecting two LAN segments, forwarding packets received on one
port across to the other port and applying the configured emulation conditions between a pair of
Ethernet ports
11
Document Number IPN600-1.3-08
IPNetSim™ IPN600 Series
Emulation Paths
•
Up to 15 separate paths (emulated WAN links) may be configured within each Emulation Engine.
•
WAN link can be any type of wide-area network connection between two sites including terrestrial
private lines, shared networks such as the Internet, and specialized satellite or wireless networks.
•
The WAN access device is usually a router, but can also be a cable or DSL modem or other type of
device that connects an entire site or a single user to the wide-area network.
•
Each path can be configured with its own bandwidth, delay, loss, and other WAN properties.
12

Point-to-Point Network
•
T1 or OC-3 lines directly connecting two sites are point-to-point connections.

Cloud Network
•
Have limited speed access to a high-speed WAN and frequently different speed access to the cloud
at the opposite site.

Packet Classifier
•
Classifiers are set of rules that specify which packets are sent over which paths.
•
Each classification rule includes an action that specifies whether matching packets are sent over
one of the configured paths, dropped, or forwarded without emulation.
15
Document Number IPN600-1.3-08
IPNetSim™ IPN600 Series
Packet Classifier
•
One can classify packets by

IP source and destination address range,

IPv6 address

VLAN ID and PCP (priority code point) value in the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag

MPLS label

MAC address

TCP or UDP port number

or Raw Data classification based on any part of packet contents or combination of well-known fields

Recorder
•
Captures the conditions of the live network such as delay, and loss values & records
them to a file.
•
Used to benchmark and troubleshoot the performance of applications or reproduce users'
network conditions for product testing and customer support.
•
It can probe the link up to ten times per second and record up to 100,000 data points
•
Probe may be any size between 28 and 65535 bytes.
•

Recording Playback...
•
Playback the recordings separately in each direction.
•
Different recordings can be used in each direction or a recording can be used in one
direction with regular, non-recorded delay and loss parameters in the other direction.

Save and Restore…
•
The configuration of a selected Emulation Engine can be saved to a file.
•
The stored configuration file can then be loaded into any Emulation Engine through Restore tab.
•
The restore operation overwrites the current configuration of the Engine.

Command Line Interface
•
Provides a command line interface (CLI) in addition to browser-based graphical user interface that
can be accessed via the CONSOLE interface or through a Telnet or SSH connection.
•
•
Provides the following subset of the functionality available in the IPNetSim™ GUI

Configure emulation parameters of any path

Turn emulation on or off for any engine

Configure the management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
Following management and troubleshooting features are only available through the CLI:

ARP and PING commands

Reinitialize the unit to factory settings

Graphs
•
Throughput graphs of traffic over any path are shown in the main window.
•
The graph can show the throughput in either direction of a path or both directions together.
•
Throughput for traffic that bypasses emulation can also be graphed.
24
