Easy to Use, Portable, Network Emulator

 Emulate your network with new applications, adverse network conditions, and anything else you can think of with Mini Maxwell.

The Mini Maxwell network emulator will create the same real-world conditions that affect production networks in your lab or on your desktop, so you can visualize and understand the effects. Based on the freely available Netem engine, Mini Maxwell offers a simple, easy to use, graphical interface to get you up and running quickly.

The Mini Maxwell network emulator is well suited to training and learning environments, demonstrations and trade shows, and testing, validation and troubleshooting.

Limiting bandwidth to see how your new application will perform on slower network connections, particularly wireless, is one of the most popular applications for Mini Maxwell.  Register below to learn more ...

Flows & Impairments

Quick & Easy Web Interface:

  • Setup in less than five minutes.
  • Web interface accessible from any location.
  • Compact, portable, lightweight -- fits into your laptop bag.
  • "Green", energy efficient, power draw < five watts.
  • Operates at Layer 2 - like a "bump on the wire" or a Layer 2 bridge.  No special configuration required.
  • Saves testing time. Make changes on the fly without reloading or restarting
  • Imports and Exports (Saves and Reloads) configuration files.

Filter Map

Use Filters for Multiple Flows:

  • Highly accurate and realistic network traffic emulations via multiple flows.
  • Applies standard impairments to user defined traffic "bands", including drop/lose, duplicate, delay(latency)/jitter, reorder, and corruption (single bit errors).
  • Creates steady state or burst impairments.
  • Selectively filters traffic into bands using pattern-matching filters.
  • Uses pre-written filters or you can create your own.
  • Customizable through user created filters.

Rate Limitation to Emulate Slow Links:

  • Limit bandwidth via rate limitation to emulate wireless, satellites, and more...
  • Automate complex network emulations for an indefinite period of time.
  • Applies Rate Limitation to emulate slow links (limit bandwidth).
  • Creates steady state or burst impairments.

With Mini Maxwell, I can hand any of our testers a small hardware appliance to insert between the workstation and the network.  The tester then downloads a pre-established test configuration, then runs the same tests, but now in an impaired test environment.  Mini Maxwell's web-based interface is far easier to understand and use than the arcane command line configurations in our previous environments. With Mini Maxwell, we spend more time testing and less time managing our test tools and equipment.
