Network Latency Visualizer – Simulate Packet Flow in Real-Time

The Network Latency Visualizer is an advanced, entirely client-side HTML5/JavaScript tool that empowers IT professionals to dynamically simulate how packets travel through a customized network. Build node topologies using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, connect nodes with adjustable latency, and trigger real-time packet animations that flow through SVG-rendered lines.

Use the visualizer to model latency-sensitive systems, demonstrate the effects of jitter and delays in distributed infrastructures, or enhance cybersecurity training by simulating potential latency attack vectors.

Key features include:

  • 📡 Real-time SVG packet animation
  • 🖱 Intuitive drag & drop node editing
  • 📤 Configurable latency and packet flows
  • 💽 Network state saved to LocalStorage

How to Use

  1. Click Add Node to place nodes on the canvas.
  2. Use Connect Last Two Nodes to create a link with the defined latency.
  3. Press Launch Packet to simulate communication between nodes.
  4. Optional: drag nodes to shift layout manually.

🌓 Dark mode is supported and persistent across sessions!

My name is Skylar Pearce, I have been working as a System Administror since 2013 as well some side consulting work. During my career I have worked with everything from Active Directory and vCenter to configuring routers and switches and phone systems, documenting and scripting my way through the whole thing. I have a Security+ certification and am currently working on my PenTest+. Throughout my career I have gained almost all of my knowledge from blogs like this. It is now time for me to pay it back. Over time I have gathered scripts and tricks over the years that I will share on this site. A lot of the posts here will be mainly reference posts, some will be full on how to’s. I am happy to go into more depth on any other topics I go over here, just make a comment on a post. I will do my best to post once a day on weekdays but as I run out of ideas it may slow down. My WordPress skills are still growing so the site will likely get better over time as I learn. You can reach me at contact@allthesystems.com or on LinkedIn
