CT800 LANforge-ICE 45 Mbps WAN Emulator
The CT800 is an economical choice for a portable
laptop based network emulator supporting speeds up to 45 Mbps (bi-directional). The CT800
is an economy model laptop (specific brand depends on what is easily available
at our suppliers). The laptop will contain one built-in wired Ethernet interface, and
a second wired interface will be an Expresscard NIC. All management will usually be done locally
on the laptop since there may not be a third interface for management. However, a USB network
adapter (not included) can provide management access if necessary.

Quick Start Guide
- Connect Client to one WAN emulation port and Server to the other. The two interfaces will
be bridged and this bridge will inject the network emulation.
- Connect laptop power plug to a standard US or European AC power source.
- The CT800 should now boot.
- Start the LANforge-GUI, and click 'Connect' to the default
'localhost:4002'.
- Select the WanLinks tab in the GUI. One of the pre-configured tests should
already be running. You may double-click the row in the top section to modify
the configuration. You can also view a real-time report of the test with the
'Display' button. Any modifications take place immediately after you click
'Submit'.

Software Features
- General purpose WAN and Network impairment emulator.
- Able to simulate DS1, DS3, DSL, CableModem, Satellite
links and other rate-limited networks, from 10 bps up to 45 Mbps (full duplex).
- Can modify various network attributes including: network-speed, latency, jitter,
packet-loss, packet-reordering, and packet-duplication.
- Supports Packet corruptions, including bit-flips, bit-transposes and byte-overwrites.
- Supports WanPath feature to allow configuration of specific behavior between
different IP subnets, MAC addresses or other packet filters
using a single pair of physical interfaces.
WanPath support may require purchase of additional WanPath licenses, please ask
your sales contact for more information.
- Supports routed and bridged mode for more flexibility in how you configure
your network and LANforge-ICE.
- Supports WAN emulation across virtual 802.1Q VLAN interfaces more efficient use
of limited physical network interfaces.
- Supports 'WAN-Playback' allowing one to capture the characteristics of
a live WAN and later have LANforge-ICE emulate those captured characteristics.
The playback file is in XML format, and can be easily created by hand or with
scripts. The free LANforge-ICEcap tool can be used to probe networks and automatically
create the XML playback file.
- Allows packet sniffing and network protocol decoding with the integrated
Wireshark protocol sniffer.
- Includes comprehensive management information detailing all aspects of the LANforge system
including processor statistics, test cases, and Ethernet port statistics.
- GUI runs as Java application on Linux, Solaris and Microsoft Operating
Systems (among others).
- GUI can run remotely, even over low-bandwidth links to accommodate
the needs of the users.
- Central management application can manage multiple units, tests,
and testers simultaneously.
- Includes easy built-in scripting to automatically iterate through bandwidth, latency
and other settings. Advanced programatic scripting over a TCP socket also supported
and example perl libraries and scripts are included.
- Automatic discovery of LANforge resources simplifies maintenance and configuration of LANforge
test equipment.
