## Introduction
The **NetCraft** is a dynamic tool designed to visualize and simulate various network topologies. Users can interactively explore different network structures, observe packet transfers, and analyze the performance of each topology.
## Usage
1. Select a network topology from the dropdown menu.
2. Specify sender and receiver nodes.
3. Click on "Transfer Packet" to start the simulation.
4. Observe the packet transfer animation and network statistics.
## Features
- **Supported Topologies**:
- Mesh
- Star
- Ring
- Bus
- (Future: Tree, Hybrid, Fully Connected)
## Future Updates
- **Interactive File Transfer Simulation**: Visualize packet movements between nodes.
- **Dynamic Topology Changes**: Add or remove nodes in real-time.
- **Latency and Performance Simulation**: Analyze network performance.
- **Network Statistics**: Real-time metrics on network load and efficiency.
- **Node Failures**: Simulate the impact of node failures.
- **Custom Styling Options**: Personalize node and connection styles.
- **Educational Tooltips**: Learn about different topologies and their use cases.
- **Save and Load Topologies**: Save and share custom network configurations.
- **Real-Time Collaboration**: Work with others in real-time.
- **Device Responsiveness**: Fully functional on mobile and tablet devices.
- **Download Visualizations**: Export network diagrams as images or JSON.
- **Themed Challenges**: Engage with network design challenges.
- **Dark Mode**: Switch to a dark theme for better visibility in low light.
- **Custom Packet Animation**: Customize packet animations for better visualization.
- **Graphical Comparison**: Compare different topologies side-by-side.
- **AI-Based Suggestions**: Get recommendations for optimal topologies based on your inputs.
