NetSim

What do you like best?

Its a beautiful solution for network emulation tool used for network design & planning, defense applications and network R & D, The Network Emulator Add on allows users to link NetSim to live applications running on real devices. This allows for real traffic to flow via the emulator and experience network effects. In this virtual network, numerous test scenarios, involving real devices and application, can be constructed and executed repetitively for normal operation as well as perturbed operation. Impairment scenarios can studied which included escalating latency, bandwidth constriction at various points, jitter tolerance, packet loss, packet reordering, route loss, fail-overs and single point of failure identification

What do you dislike?

Network R & D including custom protocol development is minimal, Network lab experimentation in universities are not up to the mark, Defense applications always need security which is lacking, Railway communication networks need faster response, Utilities transmission and distribution like SCADA Communication Networks are not up to the mark. Water/Waste Water, Electric Grid and Oil & Gas

Wireless / Satellite link emulation is need improvement

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Its a very good product and you can choose with confidence

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Network R & D including custom protocol development - easy to implement

Network lab experimentation in universities - very adaptable for academic

Defense applications - very strong tools which caters the requirements.

Utilities transmission and distribution like SCADA Communication Networks. Water/Waste Water, Electric Grid and Oil & Gas which is very useful

Wireless / Satellite link emulation is perfect in industry
