The Linktropy Mini2 is a portable, low cost, easy-to-use WAN emulator, designed to emulate basic network conditions for application development and customer demonstrations of networking products.
The Linktropy Mini2 emulates WAN bandwidth, latency, and loss separately in each direction for links up to 100 Mbps. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry, while its fanless design and solid-state storage offer silent operation with high reliability.
An intuitive, browser-based interface makes installation and configuration of the Linktropy Mini2 quick and easy. A real-time traffic monitor displays throughput graphs and statistics, revealing the effects of WAN conditions on application performance. For product demonstrations, the GUI allows an audience to grasp the test conditions at a glance and even adjust the parameters themselves, then quickly view the results.
