What PacketStorm Network Emulators is

PacketStorm Network Emulators recreate network conditions in a controlled lab for testing applications, devices, and protocols. Hurricane VII models delay, jitter, packet drops, reordering, throttling, duplication, and bit errors across 10G, 25G, and 100G links. XXG and 8XG apply impairments to IP and non-IP traffic, including conditions that vary over time. The 200E generates simulation data without consuming existing network resources or equipment. Emulators can be configured with protocols, routers, and devices, and can test virtual or physical systems. PacketStorm describes uses in security work, including finding vulnerabilities and assessing firewalls and intrusion detection. It names enterprises, developers, quality assurance teams, manufacturers, and carriers as audiences. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Models and rates vary; sales offers demos and free quotes.
