Welcome to the OSPF Simulator — a visual and interactive tool for understanding how the OSPF routing protocol works.
With this simulator, you can:
- 🔨 Build a custom network topology by placing areas and routers on an open grid.
- 🎯 Watch OSPF convergence happen in real time through neighbor table updates and state machine transitions.
- 💡 View routing tables that reflect the network's dynamic state.
- 📦 Send packets across the network and observe how routes are chosen.
- 🔍 Inspect OSPF packets like Hello packets, DBDs, and LS Updates during convergence.
- 🔧 Experiment by changing network conditions, such as turning routers off and on, to see how OSPF adapts.
