Virtual Maxwell Pro: Network Emulator & Machine Solution
Network Emulation and Protocol Testing in a Hypervisor
Virtual Maxwell Pro is software-only
Maxwell Pro creates imperfect, degraded network conditions, in the lab, for a wide variety of applications, ranging from the DARPA Robotics Finals to satellite emulation.
Maxwell Pro's unique contribution is the ability to introduce protocol impairments, as well as packet impairments into the mix.
Maxwell Pro V (virtualized Maxwell Pro) compliments the existing small package and rack mount configurations; it is available for the VMware vSphere Hypervisor® ESXi.
Why a virtual solution?
Traditional Dev/Test requires the provisioning, installation, and configuration of vendor hardware for testing complex environments and apps.
For labs and test environments utilizing VM technology, the Maxwell Pro V Virtual Network Emulator significantly reduces provisioning and installation time.
As a result, the product development and testing teams can focus on productive work as soon as possible.

-
Maxwell Pro V on ESXi
The VMware vSphere ESXI is a virtual server. Maxwell Pro V runs on ESXi compatible hardware.
-
Pre-configured Virtual Machine (VM)
Just install the Maxwell Pro V .ova file and start the VM — no additional configuration required.
Use virtual or physical network interfaces:
Use any mix of VLANs and physical ethernets as long as the path for the packets is through Maxwell Pro-V.
Integrate your testing through any test harness
Automate your Virtual Maxwell Pro protocol testing with our APIs and command line interface. The documentation provides several examples
