Fibre Channel SAN Delay & Impairment Network Latency Emulators

Anue Fibre Channel Network Latency Emulators are ideal for testing remote data storage, backup and recovery solutions in a lab environment. Fibre Channel Network Latency Emulators can reproduce the delay and impairments experienced by Fibre Channel traffic as it travels over long distances of optical fiber.



Does your solution:
Work properly in the presence of delay?
Detect and handle bit errors?
Accommodate dropped frames and loss of signal?

Anue Fibre Channel Network Emulators:
Run 100% line rate traffic from 1Gbps to 10Gbps
Supports all standard FC frame formats & functions regardless of frame size
Can be automated or operated interactively, locally or remotely
Are accurate down to one bit time increments
Provide network latency of 250ms or more at all bit rates


Maui and Hawaii Network Emulator Hardware Platform
The Fibre Channel Network Latency Emulator is available on a 2U rack-mount chassis that supports up to 7 software loads. There are two platforms available:
The Maui platform supports up to four blades and data rates up to 2.6Gbps.
The Hawaii platform supports up to two blades and data rates up to 11.3Gbps.

Supported rates
1Gbps
2Gbps
4Gbps
8Gbps
10Gbps

Delay/Jitter
Insert from 50us to 250ms of packet delay in 1-bit-time increments with the standard configuration at true full line rate.
Introduce delay transparently without modifying code words or inter-frame gap.
Increase maximum latency with a Delay Doubler and Quadrupler (even greater delay amounts are available upon request).

Error
Set error rates from 10-17 to 10-3.
Error from 1 bit to 64k bits with all ones, all zeroes, inverting bits or inserting a PRBS.
Inject errors at a fixed rate (periodic) or randomly with a Uniform, Poisson or Gaussian distribution.
Error 1 bit, 32 contiguous bits or a 32-bit user-defined error pattern.
Target specific bytes for error or modification.

Drop
Set frame-drop rate from every frame to 1 in 64,000 frames.
Replace dropped frames with idles or repeat the last word.
Drop frames at a fixed rate (periodic) or randomly with a Uniform, Poisson or Gaussian distribution.

Alarms
Emulate loss of signal and loss of frame.

Operation
Configure via a front panel LCD control for standalone operation
Configure remotely via an Ethernet control port
Interactive: Browser-based GUI with save/load capability
Automated: Powerful TCL script library

Fibre Channel SAN Delay and Impairment Software Loads for the Maui and Hawaii Platforms

Note: Up to 7 software loads for different protocols (SONET, SDH, OTN, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, CPRI) can be combined on the same SAN Simulator. A combo system can easily switch between different features, data rates and protocols, simplifying testing and leveraging your investment. [view Network Emulator Combo products]
