    There are virtual labs you can rent a block of time on.  It would have
    to be a service that provides same or like equipment and you would have
    to configure the equipment to your specs first.  But then you could
    actually down the router and see what happens.  Not exactly what you are
    looking for but it might make it for some tests.  Look into any of the
    companies that provide labtime for the CCIE exam.  They have quite an
    impressive collection of equipment available.

    Hi,
    
         This may be a bit of a stupid question, but is there a piece of
    software
    that allows you to
    run a virtual network? Allowing you to add in routers, hosts, switches
    etc. and
    then test the affect
    of changes to that environment without actually have to affect the live
    environment.
    
    An example of a use for this would be if a specific router went down,
    who would
    it affect?
    Or, if a virus were to get onto the network (hopefully the AV would get
    it
    first), how would it spread?
    
    Any ideas??
    
    Regards
