1. AdventNet Network Simulator By Michael Jovero CS 158B Sec 03

2. What is a network simulator? -A program that virtually simulates a computer network for the purpose of studying how it behaves under certain circumstances.

3. Why do we need a network simulator? It lets us test a conceptual network before we ever implement it. –Significantly saves one a lot of money –We can simulate situations that are otherwise not practical with real network Its can be an effective training tool for future network managers. It can also be used to test new NMS apps.

4. What is AdventNet Network Simulator Toolkit? -it is a suite of fully independent software made specifically to simulate and test a network in a virtual environment.

5. What are these software that are included in the suite? Network Designer/Simulator
