Maxwell Pro Network Emulation and Protocol Testing
Confidently deploy network based applications and devices.

Reliably replicate real-world network conditions to optimize app and device performance before product release. Maxwell Pro emulates mobile, cloud and WAN networks, recreating all real-world adverse network conditions like network congestion, slow links, time outs, and other adverse network conditions.
Efficiently and accurately identify performance issues. Proactively address errors to ensure your customers have a solid experience when they get your hardware or software in their hands.
- Choose from pre-built test scenarios, or build your own!
- Inject any network, protocol, or packet level impairment
- Graphic, command line or script driven interface
- Fully programmable in C, C++, or Python
- Support for 10 GE (ten gig) interfaces
Find Problems Before Anyone Else

- Test, diagnose and remediate application performance in new releases by replicating the production network in the lab.
- Detect and track individual flows while remaining undetectable to other devices on the network.
- Intelligently test thousands of code paths, not just the most common paths, in a stateful manner.
- Simplify rigorous, repeatable, regression testing.
- Multiple flows and stateful operation.
Greater Granularity and Fidelity When Emulating Real-World Networks

- Discover problems earlier, fix them, and release higher-quality products and applications.
- Maxwell Pro's flexible, scriptable, programmable power enables an abundance of capabilities
- Simulate all network technologies and applications, including VoIP, video conferencing, SANs, wireless, mobile, VPN, and many more with Maxwell Pro.
Add Time-varying Impairments to your Emulation

Real world networks change their behavior over time. And so should your network emulation scenario.
- Create a network emulation that varies the impairment parameters over any time period
- Specify a time-varying expression for any metric, using equations, piecewise curves, or shaped pulses
We looked at a number of products, but selected Maxwell because of the ability to create custom impairments and custom filters. This is very useful in our testing environment.

Test Multimedia G.1050

The ITU-T Recommendation G.1050 provides a standardized network model for evaluating multimedia transmission performance over the internet. Maxwell Pro's G.1050 tests help product manufacturers verify proper device performance under a range of known, deployed network configurations including common network anomalies and impairments. Validate application performance and guarantee the success of your cloud-based initiative with pre-deployment testing.
With Maxwell Pro you can test:
- Storage in the cloud applications under limited bandwidth connections
- Audio interaction over the internet for gaming applications
- Multimedia devices containing video, voice streams & more
