Key features • Interactive topology with PCs, switches, and routers • Hop-by-hop packet animation with source/destination MAC and IP, TTL, and frame type • Live ARP tables and routing tables that update as traffic flows • Editable subnet masks and default gateways so you can experiment in seconds • Realistic failure modes: misconfigurations, dropped packets, and routing loops Certification mode (CCNA / CCNP) • 450 high-quality questions in total: 150 for CCNA, 300 for CCNP • Organized by domain (IP addressing, routing, switching, security, automation, and more) • Customizable difficulty (Easy / Medium / Hard) and question count • Timed exam mode, weakest-domain analytics, and bookmark review • Streaks that keep you coming back day after day Built for • Beginners who want to truly understand "why packets arrive" • Engineers preparing seriously for CCNA or CCNP • Trainers and team leads who need a teaching aid for onboarding • Anyone who wants to refresh TCP/IP fundamentals on the go Works fully offline.
