Network emulator mimics the real-world network environment such as Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). It helps enterprises to test the performance of real-world application over the virtual network. Network emulators enable network architects and engineers to accurately measure an application’s performance, throughput, and service quality, making any changes or additions to a system. These emulators are more practical in approach to validate application performance prior to its commercialization. Network emulator assists enterprises in providing better service quality to their customers.
 

Hardware network emulator segment held the highest market share in the U.S.

In U.S., the hardware component segment held a market share of over 75% in 2019 due to its capability of providing better line-rate data processing under all configurations. The data rate of frames in hardware network emulators does not reduce even if multiple users operate on a single system.
 

Hardware network emulators provide more precision compared to software network emulator. They are costlier when compared to software network emulators but provide better performance. Hardware network emulator is a single platform that supports the Ethernet and Fiber Channel.
