Configure Network Emulation in AIQ

UseLast thereviewed: NetworkSeptember Emulation22, page to enable or disable the use of network emulating for testing with AIQ. Test parameters such as bandwidth and latency can be configured from here.

Network emulation ishelps evaluate application behavior under constrained latency, bandwidth, or packet-loss conditions.

Recommended guidance

• Use network emulation only when the test objective requires it.
• Document the network profile used for each run.
• Do not compare emulated and non-emulated results without noting the difference.

Validation workflow

1. Define the target network profile and expected constraints.
2. Apply the profile in the supported AIQ or test-node configuration.
3. Run a techniquesmall forvalidation testingto confirm latency/bandwidth behavior.
4. Execute the performancescenario ofand reallabel applicationsresults overwith a virtual network. This is different fromthe network simulationprofile.
5. Disable whereor virtualreset modelsemulation ofafter traffic,the test if it was temporary.
