Twenty-five open-source network emulators and simulators you can use in 2023
I reviewed the development and support status of all the network emulators and network simulators previously featured in my blog, as of early 2023.
Vrnetlab: Emulate networks using KVM and Docker
Vrnetlab, or VR Network Lab, is an open-source network emulator that runs virtual routers using KVM and Docker. Software developers and network engineers use vrnetlab, along with continuous-integration processes, for testing network provisioning changes in a virtual network. Researchers and engineers may also use the vrnetlab command line interface to create and modify network emulation
