ABSTRACT:
A network emulator provides both per-connection and non-connection-based emulation. The emulator includes a host computer, and a kernel-mode emulator driver and user-mode application component running on the host computer. The application component supplies configuration parameters to the driver. The driver includes a packet filter list that filters a captured packet, a virtual network link that receives the packet from the packet filter list, a link group list that applies an emulation procedure to the packet, a timer management component that manages a timer associated with the emulation procedure, and a packet dispatcher component that sends out the packet. A connection pool component facilitates per-connection emulation.
