Easy to Use, Portable, Network Emulator

Emulate your network with new applications, adverse 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.

Mini Maxwell Key Benefits: Quick and easy setup in less than five minutes. Web based user interface accessible from any location. Compact, portable, lightweight package fits into your laptop bag. "Green", energy efficient, power draw under five watts. Highly accurate and realistic network traffic emulations via multiple flows. Saves testing time by permitting changes on the fly without reloading or restarting Customizable through user created filters. Automate complex network emulations for an indefinite period of time.

Mini Maxwell Key Features Operates at Layer 2 - like a "bump on the wire" or a Layer 2 bridge.  No special configuration required. Applies standard impairments to user defined traffic "bands", including drop/lose, duplicate, delay(latency)/jitter, reorder, and corruption (single bit errors). Applies Rate Limitation to emulate slow links. 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. Alters filters and/or impairments without restarting. Imports and Exports (Saves and Reloads) configuration files. Provides access and control from a web-based user interface anywhere on the network.

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.
