Software Description

Cisco Packet Tracer app is a mobile adaptation of the famous simulation tool. It assists students and professionals in the creation of virtual networks through routers, switches and end devices. The application is based on Android and iOS. Topologies are created by the user dragging components to the workspace. All the connections and commands are similar to physical hardware. This enables network practice on virtual devices.
