End-to-end Network Performance Measurement for Enterprise and Colocation Data Centers

The paper presents Anritsu’s Network Master Pro MT1000AMT1040A and Virtual Network Master as a unified solution for end-to-end IP-layer performance validation across enterprise, cloud, and data center networks. By measuring latency, packet loss, throughput, and synchronization with carrier-grade accuracy, IT teams gain reliable visibility into network health, quickly identify faults, and verify SLAs.
The Virtual Network Master can be deployed in cloud environments such as AWS to enable remote, scalable, bidirectional testing without on-site hardware. Compared to tools like iPerf or ping, Anritsu offers far more accurate, deterministic traffic generation and one-way latency measurement with clock sync. The system also supports per-packet statistical latency analysis, ideal for low-latency and mission-critical applications such as healthcare, finance, and industrial automation.
