Network Impairments and WAN Testing
What are Key Network Impairments and WAN Testing Issues?
Mission-critical apps and WAN latency don't mix. Even small amounts of delay can destroy the performance of Voice over IP (VoIP), streaming media, and video. Application performance requirements have never been so demanding - and that is why WAN testing has never been so important.
Spirent Solves Your Critical Test Challenges.
Spirent offers solutions designed to help enterprise networks get peak performance. These advanced testing solutions assess the performance of latency-intolerant applications right in your lab. Lab testing provides a cost-effective approach that delivers predictable, repeatable, and quantifiable testing - without the expense of setting up geographically distributed endpoints.
Why Test with Spirent?
- Simulate the conditions that occur as packet flows traverse large IP networks
- Controlled method of injecting impairments into IP traffic flows
- Recreate the conditions that occur as traffic traverses long-haul transport links
- Controlled method of reproducing WAN latency in the test lab environment
