oh no no :)

i was talking about a network simulator purely for fun, not utilizing any networking hardware or making any actual connections over any real networks... kind of like the galaxy game, only stripped down... the planets are nodes, and wires can be strung between the planets, carrying cargo (bits), and you can play with the system, to see how it reacts to new nodes, new connections, or knocking out connections in certain places ...

i love simulators... like simcity... :)
