Stuart,

        I'm not sure about your specific examples of uses for such a device.

But Sybex makes a CCNA training kit that comes with a CDROM which has
a virtual router network simulation.  I think you can only do three or
four routers - but taking a look at that software might lead you in
the right direction.  I purchased a copy at my local Borders Books
some time ago - but have not had a chance to play with it yet.

        Ken

Hi,

     This may be a bit of a stupid question, but is there a piece of
software
that allows you to
run a virtual network? Allowing you to add in routers, hosts, switches
etc. and
then test the affect
of changes to that environment without actually have to affect the
live
environment.

An example of a use for this would be if a specific router went down,
who would
it affect?
Or, if a virus were to get onto the network (hopefully the AV would
get it
first), how would it spread?

Any ideas??

Regards
