Routepath

Routepath: Open-Source Network Simulation

An open-source network simulation and analysis tool for designing, testing, and analyzing complex networks and routing configurations in a safe virtual environment.

What is Routepath?

Routepath is an open-source network simulation and analysis tool developed by Sandvine. It provides a graphical user interface that allows users to design, test and analyze complex networks and routing configurations in a safe virtual environment, without the need for physical hardware.

Key features of Routepath include:

• Ability to design network topologies with various protocols like BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, etc.
• Configuration of routing policies and filtering rules
• Simulation of routing behavior and analysis of traffic flow
• Modeling network failures and redundancy testing
• Scalability to simulate large networks with thousands of routers
• Customizable reporting and analytics
• Available on Linux, Windows and Mac OS

Routepath allows network engineers and architects to prototype and validate network designs, plan for growth and changes, and identify potential failure points - all without impacting production networks. Its detailed reporting provides insight into convergences, policy interactions and protocol behaviors.

By modeling complex routing configs, Routepath reduces the risk and effort involved in implementing changes on live networks. It's used by many organizations for pre-deployment testing, network design validation, and ongoing network operations analysis.
