ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for simulating computer networks. Network device simulator provides individual simulations of individual network devices, which operate independently of one another. Network simulator contains the simulated network topology and provides connection information to the network device simulators. The network simulator also allows an operator to alter the simulator topology and inject simulator conditions. A Network Management Station (NMS) manages the simulated network as if it were a real network.
