Network simulation tools

Network simulation tools are software programs that mimic real-world computer networks, allowing users to design, analyze, and test network configurations without physical hardware. They help professionals evaluate how networks will perform under different conditions, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance before actual deployment. These tools are essential for planning large-scale networks, learning networking concepts, and testing security measures safely. By creating virtual networks, users can simulate traffic, failures, or attacks to ensure reliability and efficiency, saving time and cost compared to building physical setups.
