PACKET TRACER 5.3

Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulator that can be utilized in training for CCNA^TM and CCNP^TM certification exam by allowing students to create networks with an almost unlimited number of devices and to experience troubleshooting without having to buy real Cisco^TM routers or switches.

The current version of Packet Tracer supports an array of simulated Application layer protocols (HTTP, DNS, …), as well as basic routing with RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP, to the extent required by the current CCNA^TM curriculum. With the introduction of version 5.3, several new features were added, including BGP, which is part of the CCNP^TM curriculum.

While Packet Tracer aims to provide a realistic simulation of functional networks, the application itself utilizes only a small number of features found within the actual hardware running a current Cisco IOS^TM.
