Robinet Network Simulator
A fast and programmable network simulator
Assemble many kind of network gears in various configurations, with easy to configure failure rates.
In addition, the simulator is fully programmable so any equipment can exhibit any custom behavior.
Real traffic can also be injected into the simulation via a special device, or inversely generated traffic can be injected into a physical network interface.
Similarly, traffic can be read from or recorded into a file1.

Use cases
- Development: build a fine tuned test suite for any piece of software or hardware in specific scenarios;
- Load testing: connect your application under test to a simulated network of users;
- Fuzzing: test the security and reliability of the target service.
- IA: simulate various environment around your system and teach a neural network to predict them.
