Of four network simulators, mininet, cisco packet tracer, gns3. 2.2 gns3 consume actual ram of your device around 512 mb of ram is consumed by each router.
2.1 cisco packet tracer dont consume actual ram of device. it doesn’t allow to take cli of switch or any end user devices. i intend to take ccnp course, but after taking a view in ccnp section, there are many people talk about gns3, but i'm not sure they are talking about the labs in gns3 website, or gns3 simulator software. Hi everyone, in ccna, i used packet tracer as my main software to practice all the labs. | i am offering my services to simulate both simple and complex network using different tools such as cisco packet tracer and gns3. For only $15, farooqtahir435 will do network simulation through cisco packet tracer or gns3. the other best known tool for this purpose is gns3, which is based on dynamips, and is capable of building even more realistic networks.
Cisco academy users have a very nice tool: packet tracer, which is capable of creating a complex network and simulating its behavior.
