Key Features of Network Stimulators

It’s very tough to set up a network in real-time for any testing the configuration of

networking applications. To check a simple problem, it takes a huge amount of time

and energy. So it’s not quite probable to setup the entire network in a real-time.

There’re several tools, which assist network developers to check their network

setups practically whether the networking application is capable of working in real-

time environment.

A network simulator is one of them. Simulators are employed for performance

testing of networks and networking applications. With the assistance of simulation

tools, both time & expenditure of testing the operations have been decreased and

executions are made effortless. In this post, we will discuss about the main features

and advantages of SNMP Simulator.

A network simulation is a practical depiction of a network. There are two common

kinds of network simulation – one is employed on active networks and the other is

employed prior to a network is assembled. The aims of these simulations are

discovering issues or preventing them in the first place. Organizations can enhance

network dependability and lower maintenance expenditures. In present time, the

simulation is one of the most crucial technologies which imitate the real life and

imaginary objects on computer.

The Network Simulator offers a versatile, integrated, easy-to-use GUI-based

network designer tool to create and replicate a network with SNMP, Telnet/SSH,

NetFlow, TL1, TFTP and DHCP.

The researchers use network stimulation to check different set-ups that aren’t

simple to present in real-life due to its complexity and experiments. Network

stimulators are extremely helpful, offering controlled and reproducible

environment to check latest networking protocols or transform the active ones.

Also, simulation tools are very handy to design diverse network topologies

employing various kinds of nodes. Various people like network designers,

academic researchers, software developers and quality assurances are employed to

design, validate, imitate and examining the performance of diverse network

protocols.

Usually, network simulator tools will comprise a wide variety of networking

technologies and protocols which aids the user to develop complicated network

from fundamental building blocks. You can effortlessly design diverse network

topologies employing different kinds of basic building blocks like end host, hubs,

mobile users, routers, network bridges and optical layer designs. These tools are

used also to check and assess the effect of diverse parameters on the protocols

being experiential.

Network stimulator tools are accessible with diverse features. Some of the

network simulators are MIMIC Simulator, OPNET, REAL, OMNeT++, QualNet,

MIMIC Virtual Lab and J-Sim.
