Both network simulators and network emulators are used for testing and analyzing network behavior, but they have key differences in how they function and their use cases.
Which One to Use?
Use a network simulator when you need to study protocols, design new networks, or analyze theoretical scenarios.
Use a network emulator when you want to test real-world network conditions, troubleshoot configurations, or prepare for deployments.
Since you are working with EVE-NG, it's primarily an emulator, as it runs real network images in a virtual environment. Let me know if you need more details!
