Dynamic Bandwidth Simulators: Proactive Network Optimization for Enhanced User Experience.

Testing priorities for online, multiplayer games over the Internet…. what is the consensus opinion?

Explore the essentials of protocol testing in modern networks. Learn about different protocols, how testing ensures network efficiency, and why it's crucial for maintaining robust, secure communication systems.

Streaming is the predominant way for people to experience music and videos, but what happens when periodic packet delay affects the streaming?

How are you measuring your network’s performance? One can have a very fast network, but get very little throughput, with very high perceived delays…If you are using a tool, such as iperf, to measure throughput, the results can be quite deceptive. That's because iperf displays effective throughput of data at the transport layer, and thus masks what is actually going on underneath …

Many "Speed Test" tools available on the Internet are easily run in a web browser. Should you trust those tools?

Not really. The popular speed testing tools provide a very narrow and limited measure of network "speed". It is quite possible that a network that is rated as "fast" could actually deliver poor results to many applications …

It was 11:10pm on the night of October 9, 2019. Here along the Monterey Bay the weather was calm, cool, and a bit damp. The lights were on, the internet was working, the car was charging; everything was normal.

At 11:11pm things suddenly changed…

Customers abandon apps that are not responsive, according to recent studies. Two key mistakes are testing only over the local area network and having no test methodology…

5G is the latest technology for cellular mobile communications. Deployment is expected to take place sometime between late 2019 and mid 2020. The benefits of 5G will be available to new, 5G-enabled devices. However, developers who need to know what kinds of hurdles to expect for their applications may be disappointed …

Why should I use the KMAX Network Simulator when Windows 10 has a built-in mobile network emulator? Unlike the Windows Phone Emulator, the KMAX Network Simulator emulates the network conditions that will confront all mobile devices on all types of networks (not just 3G/4G cellular), under both typical and adverse network conditions …

Network emulators, network modelers and network simulators -- how do they differ? How do I know what solution would be right for my application? How do I compare an emulator vs a simulator? Modelers, simulators, and emulators represent a continuum, that begins with pure mathematical software models and moves towards the physical reality of emulation …

Several years ago, an Israeli company called Shunra Software, offered a network simulator product. The product’s purpose: to help IT staff verify the performance of apps and devices, prior to deployment in production networks. In 2016, HPE sold the “software division”, including the HP Network Simulator, to MicroFocus.

So where does that leave HP Network Simulator? …
