What is WAN-in-Lab?
WAN-in-Lab is a wide area network in a single laboratory. It is an experimental networking testbed aimed at developing, testing and evaluating new communications protocols and technologies. Unlike emulated testbeds based entirely on dummynet, netem, Emulab or similar technologies, it uses real carrier-grade WAN equipment, and spools of fibre to produce delays. This seeks to reproduce a real production environment more closely.
