Comparative performance measurements of distributed applications and
network protocols require the availability of appropriate network
environments. Network emulation approaches offer a flexible way to
mimic the properties of a variety of networks. Existing emulation
tools work either with centralized real-time simulation components,
limiting the scenario size and maximum traffic, or focus on the
emulation of some network properties at a single point. We propose a
tool for the realistic emulation of network links, and show how
several emulated links can be combined to reproduce a comprehensive
network model. In addition to that, the model can include changing
network properties, e.g. emerging from mobile communication
partners. This facilitates the distributed emulation of a
comprehensive, dynamic network scenario to support repeatable
performance measurements.
