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
