Anue Systems Adds Fast ETHERNET Support for Its Line of Network Emulators; Network Latency, Errors, Packet Drop and Other Impairments Can Now Be Added to Full Line Rate Ethernet Traffic From 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Anue Systems, the leader in network delay and impairment emulation, has expanded its Advanced Ethernet product line with the addition of Network Emulators that operate at 10/100 Mbps. These Emulators are used to validate network services, network equipment and software applications in areas like VoIP, IPTV, streaming media, on-line gaming, and mission critical enterprise applications.

Anue's Ethernet Emulators allow advanced filtering based on data within each Ethernet frame, such as MAC and IP addresses and VLAN tags. Filtered packets then can be selectively impaired. Impairments include: corruption, jitter, duplication, reorder, drop, bit error injection, modification and bandwidth throttling. Anue Network Emulators support any size Ethernet frame and always operate at full line rate. They can also combine Ethernet with other protocols, such as SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel.

"Today's end-users are quite savvy," explains Sameer Gupta, VP of Engineering at Anue Systems. "They realize that network performance is not just about bandwidth. Delays and impairments also impact performance. Our Ethernet Emulators allow you to inject a precise amount of delay and other impairments into network traffic. By running critical applications through this type of 'emulated' environment, our customers are ensuring the performance of their applications over their network."

With an "in-line" testing approach, Anue Network Emulators are ideal for performing validation testing in a lab environment prior to deployment of new hardware, software or services. After deployment, Network Emulators are used for troubleshooting, software tuning, hardware optimization and quality assurance testing by accurately replicating network scenarios.
