AdventNet Network Simulator By Michael Jovero CS 158B Sec 03
What is a network simulator? • A program that virtually simulates a computer network for the purpose of studying how it behaves under certain circumstances.
Why do we need a network simulator? • It lets us test a conceptual network before we ever implement it. • Significantly saves one a lot of money • We can simulate situations that are otherwise not practical with real network • Its can be an effective training tool for future network managers. • It can also be used to test new NMS apps.
What is AdventNet Network Simulator Toolkit? -it is a suite of fully independent software made specifically to simulate and test a network in a virtual environment.
What are these software that are included in the suite? • Network Designer/Simulator
What are these software that are included in the suite? • Network Designer/Simulator • Cisco Routers and Switches • Hosts/Servers (Linux, Solaris, Windows2000) • Printers (Lexmark inkjet, HP laser etc…) • Firewall
