Simulating a Local Area Network with Cisco Packet Tracer: A Comprehensive IP Packet Switching Network Demonstration

Current work aims to create efficient and reliable networks by simulating a robust LAN infrastructure using Cisco Packet Tracer. The simulation demonstrates data flow between network nodes and user equipment in real-world scenarios, showcasing the practicality and benefits of IP packet switching. Key components include network topology design, IP packet switching, and data flow demonstration. Current work benefits include education for students and network enthusiasts, developing troubleshooting skills, enabling network planning, and cost efficiency. It also allows for experimentation without the need for physical hardware, reducing costs associated with network testing and prototyping.
