Frequently Asked Questions
-
Packetronix offers two flagship product lines for IP Ethernet network testing: the Network Impairment Emulator, which recreates real-world WAN conditions such as latency, jitter, packet loss, reordering, and bandwidth constraints; and the Network Traffic Generator & Analyzer, which produces wire-speed stream-oriented traffic from 1G to 100G with multi-field packet analysis for functional, performance, and conformance testing.
-
Yes. Packetronix products provide wire-speed performance up to 100G across 1G, 10G, 25G, and 100G Ethernet interfaces, enabling enterprise and carrier-grade engineering teams to validate high-throughput infrastructure with line-rate precision.
-
Packetronix solutions expose native REST APIs and scriptable automation interfaces designed for continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows. Engineering teams can trigger network performance tests, impairment scenarios, and RFC 2544 benchmarks directly from Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or any pipeline runner.
-
The Packetronix Network Impairment Emulator can simulate latency, jitter, packet loss, packet reordering, duplication, corruption, bandwidth constraints, congestion, and burst errors with nanosecond precision — accurately recreating real-world WAN, satellite, mobile, and degraded enterprise network conditions.
