Besides us, they are the only worthy OSS simulator out there, that I know of. Marionnet is nice one - using VDE switches plus User-Mode Linux (UML) machines. gambitcomm's MIMIC Virtual Lab - Not tried - but according to docs it works on Windows/Linux/Solaris, and can simulate Cisco and Juniper networks. But if someone building network from own pure fantasy / dream, then GNS3 provides *way* more opportunities for the creative mind.Ĥ. If someone is studying for Cisco Exam - NetSim provides better value than GNS3 does - it makes students laser-focused on Cisco-problem-solutions. Overall: Feels like a joke compared to GNS3.ģ. Cisco Packet Tracer - very basic, but has physical layer - console cables, DCE/DTE, cross-over cables. (here I mix simulators/emulators and virtualizers - anything that can help design and test virtual IP-based network, not necessarily Cisco-related)Ģ. Network Virtualization With Oracle Solaris (Open-Source, Solaris UNIX only, link, Cisco unrelated) VMware ESX + Cisco Nexus 1000v (proprietary, ESX-only. VMware Workstation 7 (proprietary, Windows/Linux, Cisco unrelated)ġ0. NetKit (+AutoNetKit+VisualNetKit) (Open-Source, Linux only, Cisco unrelated)ĩ. Pearson IT Certification's Cisco Network Simulator (proprietary, Windows and Mac, CCNA-level, link)Ĩ. RouterSim Network Visualizer (proprietary, Windows-only, CCNA-level)ħ. Marionnet (Open-Source, Linux only, link, Cisco unrelated)Ħ. MIMIC Virtual Lab CCNA (proprietary, Windows/Linux/Solaris, CCNA-level?, link)ĥ. Boson NetSim v8 (proprietary, Windows-only, CCNP-level)Ĥ. Cisco Packet Tracer (proprietary, Windows and Linux, CCNA-level)ģ. Cisco IOU Web GUI (proprietary web-service, pay-per-use, CCIE-level)Ģ. GNS3 VirtualBox Edition (Open-Source, Windows/Mac/Linux/Solaris UNIX/FreeBSD, CCIE-level)ġ.
Here I decided to discuss various products in the network simulator / emulator field.
