15
Background Traffic Bandwidth
• Several applications are bandwidth-sensitive, and their response time considerably changes when certain pattern of
network traffic uses excess of available bandwidth.
• Background traffic option is used to test such pattern of network traffic.

16
Latency
• Latency/Delay (0 milliseconds to 8 seconds) to emulate various wired, wireless, and network
elements.
➢ Single Delay
➢ Uniform Distributions
➢ Random Distributions
![Page 17: IPLinkSim WAN Link Emulator Presentation · 2020. 1. 27. · 3 Features •Easy-to-use portable hardware based WAN Link Emulator. •Emulates 1 bi-directional WAN link per IPLinkSim™](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081617/6047029d8347c44be618c8c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Packet Loss• Packet Loss can be introduced either as a
rate as well as Manually.
• For both rate and manual, user can choose
to drop a single packet or a burst of packets,
at a time.
➢ Rate: User can configure the Loss rate,
and packets will be dropped at that rate.
➢ Manual Drop: This allows user to
manually drop either a single packet or
burst of packets at run time.
➢ Single vs Burst Drop: In Single drop,
only one packet will be dropped at a time.
However, Real world Packet Loss is
many times bursty in nature i.e. a bunch
of consecutive packets are lost. This
allows user to drop a burst of packets at
a time instead of a single packet i.e. a
bunch of consecutive packets are lost. To
emulate such conditions, Burst Packet
Loss can be configured

Packet Reordering
• Packet reordering model includes
Periodic and Random Packet
Reordering options.
• In Periodic option, the packets are
reordered at constant specified rate.
• While in Random option, packets
are randomized for reordering, but
still maintain the specified Reorder
rate.

19
Packet Duplication• Packet Duplication model also
includes Periodic and Random
Packet Duplication options.
• In Periodic Duplication option,
the packets are duplicated at
specified rate periodically.
• In Random Duplication option,
the selected packet is duplicated
(based on the rate) randomly but
maintaining the duplication rate.

20
Error Insertion• In Periodic Error Insertion
option, the start of frame
and end of frame byte
offsets specifies where
exactly in the frame to
inject errors.
• In the Random Error
Insertion option, the
packet will be randomly
selected for error insertion
(based on the rate), but the
error insertion rate is
maintained.
• But in Manual Error
Insertion option, error is
introduced into a single
packet at run time
manually.

for each direction.
• The statistics parameters includes Dropped Frames (Bandwidth Control), No. of Packets with
Errors, Dropped Packets (Packet Loss), Duplicated Packets, Reordered Packets, and
