CHAOSBRIDGE · WAN EMULATOR APPLICATIONS

Distributed Network Emulator

Multiple Links, Independent Network Conditions

Use NetAccura WAN emulators for distributed network emulation. Set separate network conditions for endpoints, edge nodes and central clouds to support research, multi-node coordination and distributed system testing.

Independent Link Configuration

Different Nodes, Different Networks

  • Separate test traffic by port, IP, VLAN and other criteria
  • Combine delay, loss, jitter and rate limiting for each link
  • Configure upstream and downstream independently to reproduce asymmetric links

Distributed Network Test Scenarios

From Research Experiments to Coordinated System Validation

Include inter-node network conditions in your experiments and observe system behavior as links change.

Universities and Research Institutes

Build repeatable experimental environments for network protocols, distributed algorithms and collaborative systems.

  • Controlled Conditions for Multi-Node Experiments
  • Algorithm and Parameter Comparisons

Cloud-Edge-Device Coordination

Set separate endpoint-to-edge and edge-to-cloud conditions to test task allocation and data synchronization.

  • Asymmetric Upstream and Downstream Bandwidth
  • Timeouts, Degradation and Task Migration

Robotics and Remote Control

Apply different conditions to control, video and data links to observe system response and recovery from lost connections.

  • Test Control and Video Links Independently
  • Brief Outages and Reconnection

Multi-Branch and Distributed Applications

Reproduce cross-region access and inter-node network variation to check service coordination and data consistency.

  • Inter-Node Delay and Packet Loss
  • Fault Recovery and Synchronization Compensation

Reusable Experiment Configurations

Repeat Tests under the Same Network Conditions

01

Connect the Test Nodes

Connect test links through the WAN emulator and separate them using ports and traffic filters.

02

Orchestrate Network Changes

Set delay, loss, bandwidth and duration for each stage, then save the test scenario.

03

Repeat and Automate Experiments

Reuse scenarios to compare algorithms or versions, and integrate them into experiment scripts through the REST API.
