Network engineers can't -- and shouldn't -- always work directly on the production network. To prepare for network changes, network engineers need to test how those changes can affect network function ...

You need CLI hands-on experience to do well on the Cisco CCENT and CCNA exams. To get that experience, you can use real routers and switches, a simulator that simulates routers and switches, or an ...

At the high end of performance, general-purpose in-circuit emulators can achieve speeds of 100,000 to 1 million cycles/sec but are typically throttled back to only 10,000 to 25,000 cycles/sec when you ...

In Part 1, we reviewed the process of designing a modern hardware emulation platform. Here, we’ll look at the skills and training that are necessary to become a simulation expert and an emulation ...

For years, I could recite networking vocabulary without actually understanding any of it. Subnet masks, TCP versus UDP, OSPF versus static routing — I could define all of them on a whiteboard and ...

Electronic system level (ESL) synthesis has a big impact in design. It may have an even bigger impact on the choice of environments for verification and validation. Software simulation remains the ...
