Description and specification

Net.Storm is a device that lets you generate all kinds of impairments occurring in IP and Carrier Ethernet networks, in order to test the resilience of applications, devices and protocols to factors such as latency, jitter, packet loss, packet duplication, packet reordering, errors or throughput limitation. Net.Storm allows you to freely model all of these parameters. Most importantly, all phenomena are generated in hardware, thanks to the use of a powerful FPGA.

Using the Net.Storm generator, technicians can easily replicate situations that lead to potential failures. Net.Storm can also have numerous applications in laboratory research.
