Several years ago I was contacted by the IT Director of a global marine freight company. Hey OP u/Norlig this is your answer right here. In the meantime, I am looking for a way to have a Gateway for a LAN, and anything that goes through that gateway gets X ms delay added and a maximum of Y mbps speed.Įnabling 2G only on my phone gave me 0,12 mbps and 350-400 ms ping, so that is one thing I was thinking about trying, but usually the VSAT speed is 0,5mbps-1mbps+ and around 600-1500 ms.ĭoes anyone know of such a simple way to get this done? preferably through windows, but I can boot up a *BSD unit as well, if needed. In my office we dont have a physical VSAT, but I want to request one so we can test this and other solutions that would be nice to test in that environment. Ships primarily use Satelite based internet (Vsat), which by nature has high latency and usually not more than 3mbps speed. SoftPerfect Connection Emulator targets a specific segment of computer users, which is knowledgeable about network connections however, it is easy to use and makes available a flexible testing environment.I am working on a Wi-Fi Project that in the end will be for managed Wi-Fi onboard ships.Īt the moment we seem to be going for a Cloud partner, where 1 Switch, 5 AP's and 5 clients per AP (not doing anything than being connected) would use 65 MB/month. Versatile testing grounds for network applications This way there is no need to make the same settings each time a certain configuration is needed.Īdditional options available in the application refer to the possibility of bridging adapters in order to enable packet forwarding and turning on filters for simulating specific protocols, networks or addresses. The options for creating various network environments are extensive enough to touch on parameters such as latency and packet loss.Īll the modifications can be stored a profile that can be loaded at any time.
Further customization of the transfer rate includes the possibility to define the traffic direction. There is the option to enrich the list by adding connections with different speed limits. A list of predefined profiles should make things easier. There are options for selecting a particular transfer rate, specific to a certain type of connection.
The main application window shows the network interfaces (WAN and IPv6 are included) that can be used with the application and provides a set of parameters that can be tweaked in order to emulate the desired connection type. The utility is easy to install on the system and the user does not have to pay too much attention to the process, which takes little time to complete.Īn intuitive layout helps the user to learn the ropes quickly and with little effort. It can also be used by system administrators and network engineers.
SoftPerfect Connection Emulator has been created to offer developers a controlled environment for testing network applications.
