1. Dynamips

Dynamips Dynamips is an emulator computer program that was written to emulate Cisco routers. It has been created by Christophe Fillot who started his work in August 2005. Dynamips runs on Linux, Mac OS X or Windows and can emulate the hardware of the Cisco series routing platforms by directly booting......

2. Dummynet

Dummynet dummynet is a live network emulation tool, originally designed for testing networking protocols, and since then used for a variety of applications including bandwidth management. It simulates/enforces queue and bandwidth limitations, delays, packet losses, and multipath effects. It also implements various scheduling algorithms. dummynet can be used on the machine......

3. Free SNMP Agent Simulator

Free SNMP Agent Simulator Verax SNMP agent simulator allows IT personnel to build virtual, simulated networks of devices without purchasing any additional hardware, for instance for testing purposes. The Verax SNMP Simulator is a tool that can simulate multiple SNMPv1/v2c agents on a single host on standard 161 port through multi-netting.Individual simulated agent responses......

4. GNS3

GNS3 GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex networks.To provide complete and accurate simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with:Dynamips, a Cisco IOS emulator.Qemu, a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.VirtualBox, a free and powerful virtualization software.GNS3 is an excellent complementary tool to real labs for......

5. Cisco Packet Tracer

Cisco Packet Tracer Packet Tracer is a Cisco router simulator that can be utilized in training and education, but also in research for simple computer network simulations. The tool is created by Cisco Systems and provided for free distribution to faculty, students, and alumni who are or have participated in the Cisco Networking......
