Packet Delay Animator – Visualize Network Latency

The Packet Delay Animator is an interactive, browser-based tool built for network engineers, IT professionals, and cybersecurity analysts who need to model and visualize network packet delays between nodes. Simulate latency, timeouts, and round trips with real-time animations, drag-and-drop endpoints, and adjustable timing values — all entirely client-side.

This tool is ideal for demonstration, educational, or diagnostic scenarios. Whether you’re modeling routing paths or explaining the concept of round-trip latency, the simulator makes it visual and intuitive.

Features Include:

  • 📦 Animated Packet Flow Visualization
  • ⏱ Adjustable Delay Sliders
  • 🖱 Drag-and-Drop Endpoint Placement
  • 🌙 Built-in Dark Mode
  • 💾 LocalStorage Support for Settings

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
