About This Simulator
This simulator visualizes how data packets travel through a network. Nodes represent routers and edges represent links with latency costs. Send a packet from source to destination and watch it hop through the network, choosing the shortest path. Compare how different network topologies affect routing efficiency.
How It Works
- 1 Select a network topology from the presets
- 2 Choose a source and destination node
- 3 Click Send Packet to watch it route through the network
- 4 The packet follows the shortest path (Dijkstra's algorithm)
- 5 Watch the hop count and total latency update in real time
- 6 Try different topologies to see how network structure affects routing
