Simulated Network
Create a virtual network simulation environments within pipeline configurations for controlled network testing and emulation scenarios. This emulation component establishes isolated virtual networks with configurable MTU settings, named network endpoints, and programmable connectivity patterns between multiple simulation participants. Essential for creating controlled test environments, simulating complex network topologies, testing distributed applications, and conducting reproducible network experiments.
