v1.0
Built for Educators
Our network emulator – NetEmulator™- is a new feature added to the LabHUB™ platform. It is a next-generation web-based simulation tool that transforms how computer networking is taught and learned. With real-time packet tracking, hands-on device configuration, and customizable instructor tools, NetEmulator™ brings networking concepts to life in an exceptionally interactive and immersive environment.
Select NetEmulator™ Features for Students
Network creation becomes a hands-on exercise with NetEmulator’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Students build topologies in minutes and immediately test configurations by sending packets across devices, turning passive theory into active skill-building. Due to its transparent and intuitive setting, users can observe data packets traversing the network, track their status, and receive real-time feedback on configuration errors. It’s this immediate feedback and very visual experience that allows students to experience the network’s behavior.
