Ø Cisco Packet Tracer is a medium
fidelity, network-capable, simulation-based learning environment for networking
novices to design, configure, and troubleshoot computer networks at a
CCNA-level of complexity.
Ø Packet Tracer is an integrated
simulation, visualization, collaboration, and assessment environment.
Ø Packet Tracer supports
simulations, visualizations, and animations of networking phenomena. Like any
simulation, Packet Tracer relies on a simplified model of networking devices
and protocols.
Ø Real computer networks
experienced both in-person/hands-on and remotely, remain the benchmark for
understanding network behavior and developing networking skills.
Ø Packet Tracer was created to help
address the Digital Divide in networking education, where many students and
teachers lack access to equipment, bandwidth, and interactive modes of learning
networking.
