Whether you're testing a new product, designing a network, getting ready to deploy a new distributed application, or qualifying new infrastructure equipment, it's virtually impossible to anticipate everything that could happen to the data flowing through your network. Yet, it's a known fact that corrupted traffic can expose hidden vulnerabilities in your network devices. What's worse, there are those who would unleash malicious network attacks designed to exploit these hidden vulnerabilities to uncover the prized data within.

That's why we developed Maxwell™, the Network Impairment System. It enables you to modify, distort, and corrupt the flow of network traffic in a controlled, very precise, stateful manner. It also operates in real time and modifies traffic while the protocol discussion continues. So, you can easily and thoroughly test the quality of service (QoS), resilience, and reliability of each network device.
