Could you build this?
Partial A simple network topology mock UI or basic packet-forwarding simulator can be vibe-coded, but a functional router emulator requires accurately implementing stateful L2/L3 networking protocols (ARP, OSPF, BGP, RIP) and routing table algorithms.
What it would actually take: A full router emulator requires implementing virtual TAP/TUN interfaces, packet parsing (libpcap/dpdk), and protocol finite state machines (e.g., BGP/OSPF engines similar to FRRouting/Quagga). Alternatively, orchestrating containerized network operating systems requires deep systems networking and Linux kernel networking knowledge.
