Emulated network deviceRouters, frame relay switches, etc.Routers, switches, and wireless broadband routersRouterFrame relay switches, network cards, etc.
Degree of simulation and disadvantagesIntegration of simulation software does not support layer 3 switchesSoftware-based emulators that cannot be used in real-world environmentsHas all the features of a real router but also interconnects with a real networkFewer network devices are supported and are quite resource intensive
