— New Measurement Solution Accurately Measures Latency, Jitter, and Throughput Using Cloud-based Software —

, /PRNewswire/ – Anritsu Corporation introduces its Virtual Network Master for AWS MX109030PC, a virtual network measurement solution operating in Amazon Web Services (AWS)* cloud environments. This software-based solution enables accurate, repeatable evaluation of communication quality across networks, including cloud and virtual environments. It measures key network quality indicators, such as latency, jitter, throughput, and packet (frame) loss rate, in one-way and round-trip directions. This software can accurately evaluate end-to-end (E2E) communication quality, even in virtual environments where hardware test instruments cannot be installed.

Moreover, adding the Network Master™ Pro MT1000A/MT1040A test hardware to the network cellular side supports consistent quality evaluation from the core and cloud to field-deployed devices.

**Development Background **With advances in cloud technology and virtualization, network communication quality is influenced significantly by virtual layers, such as servers and virtual switches. However, installing test hardware in data centers and cloud environments is difficult, causing challenges in understanding the actual quality of service between applications. Anritsu has developed this solution operating on AWS to accurately and reproducibly evaluate E2E quality under realistic operating conditions even in virtual environments.

The Virtual Network Master for AWS MX109030PC software-based solution accurately evaluates network communication quality in cloud and virtual environments. Deploying software probes running on AWS across cloud, data center, and virtual networks enables precise communication quality assessment, even in environments where hardware test instruments cannot be located. It supports:

• Measurement Items: Throughput, latency, jitter, and packet (frame) loss rate
• Operability: Remote operation and automation via web browser GUI and API
• Interoperability: Peer-to-peer testing between MX109030PC units and provides end-to-end network quality visualization from field to cloud using the MT1000A/MT1040A
