Figure 8. OVF Uploads with 1, 2, and 3 OVF Packages Transferring at the Same Time

File Upload in WAN Environment

Because OVF package upload often occurs in a WAN (Wide Area Network), it is important to show latency

trends with various network bandwidths and speeds. Table 3 shows the bandwidth, latency, and error rate for

three typical networks in a WAN.

Table 3. Typical Networks in a WAN

NETWORK BANDWIDTH LATENCY ERROR RATE

DSL 512Kbps 100ms 0.05%

Satellite 1.5Mbps 500ms 0.10%

T1 1.5Mbps 100ms 0.05%

A WAN simulator, WANem, was used for this experiment. The layout is shown in Figure 9. WANem (Wan Area

Network EMulation) is a piece of software running on Knoppix, a well-known Linux distribution based on Debian.
