Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command-line interface.
The tool offers a unique combination of realistic simulation and visualization experiences, assessment and activity authoring capabilities, and multi-user collaboration and competition opportunities. Its innovative features help students and teachers collaborate, solve problems, and learn networking concepts in an engaging and dynamic social environment.
