The OU LAN Simulator is an application program that allows you to construct models of local area networks (LANs) based on Ethernet using hubs and bridges (but not switches). It has been especially commissioned by the Open University for use as a teaching tool and should only be used for that purpose. It is not intended for use in the design and simulation of real local area networks. However, it will give you an excellent introduction to using simulators to develop and test computer networks. The software includes a licence for up to 10 users.An experiment book is available to accompany this software, see order code T209/MOD3EXP.
