VE Appliance for WAN Emulation
At the heart of Shunra VE is a high performance, scalable network
appliance that functions as a bridge or router. It changes the speed
at which network traffic travels through the network, exposing data
packets to the same network impairments to which they would be
subjected to on the wide area network.

Once you’ve created your network model, you simply press the play
button to activate your test scenario. At this point, any application,
