Description

Network behavior can be modeled with a discrete-event simulator for research experiments. This helps researchers and students test protocol ideas, traffic patterns, and network scenarios without requiring a live production network.

It is a simulation tool, not a network monitor. Results depend on the model and assumptions, so treat them as experimental evidence rather than automatic proof of real-world behavior.
