    The Ohio Network Emulator (ONE) application is being made
    available to outside researchers
    in a open source format. The product will be supported internally,
    and ideally, benefit from having the wider external distribution.

    For additional information and to download the code:

    The ONE application is a network emulator that can be run on an off
    the shelf computer workstation. ONE provides an inexpensive way to
    perform the kinds of network emulation of interest in space network
    research. Effects that would be otherwise difficult or impossible
    to simulate (i.e. communication transit delays as seen by satellites
    and spacecraft) can be studied in the lab as new protocols are
    developed.

    Other capabilities include: variable propagation delay,
    Random Early Detection (RED), an active
    queue management strategy that attempts to improve performance and
    reduce the average queue length, and Bit Error Rate (BER) simulation
    (the injection of simulated noise into the data stream). The design is
    amenable to inclusion of other software controlled effects.
