Benefits

  • Universal Coverage – From LAN to cutting-edge 800GbE AI networks.
  • Performance Validation – Test congestion, flow control, and packet loss.
  • QoS Analysis – Validate service differentiation across multiple workloads.
  • Scalable Modeling – Works at chip-level (Ethernet MAC/PHY), rack-level, and network-level.
  • Early Risk Reduction – Catch latency bottlenecks before deployment.

The Switched Ethernet model in VisualSim provides a complete environment for packet-based data transfer simulation. It models Ethernet traffic across a central switch, enabling efficient communication between multiple devices.

VisualSim supports every form of Ethernet, from standard LAN-based Ethernet to high-speed 100GbE, 400GbE, and emerging 800GbE links. This makes it applicable across consumer networking, enterprise data centers, and cutting-edge AI infrastructure, where ultra-high-bandwidth Ethernet interconnects CPUs, GPUs, memory subsystems, and even data center–to–data center backbones.

By using VisualSim, designers can evaluate throughput, latency, Quality of Service (QoS), and flow control policies before deploying physical networks.
