Packet Tracer can simulate complex networks.

Cisco Packet Tracer, a network simulation program used for education, stores data in PKA and PKT files. A PKA file contains two separate PKT files, one that defines the characteristics of the initial network and one for the answer network. The initial network is the network configuration students start with, and the answer network is the configuration students need to reach from the initial network. Convert a PKA file to two PKT files by exporting each network from the PKA file in Packet Tracer.
