Could you build this?
No Accurately simulating Cisco IOS command hierarchies, networking state machines (OSPF, BGP, STP), and realistic packet routing in-browser without virtual machines requires deep networking domain expertise.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires building an event-driven network simulation engine (in WebAssembly/Rust or JavaScript) that accurately models OSI layer 2 and layer 3 packet flows, routing protocols, and access control lists, paired with a custom grammar parser replicating the Cisco IOS CLI. Building and validating realistic network protocol convergence and grading logic requires senior networking and systems engineering specialists.
