MIMIC 11.00 released - new NetFlow Simulator, 50,000 agents

There is a new release of MIMIC Simulation Suite, version 11.00. New features
include:
  • MIMIC NetFlow Simulator
  • 50,000 agents simulated on one box (instead of previous limit of 20,000)
  • UDP support in MIMIC Server Simulator
The NetFlow Simulator in combination with SNMP Simulator allows simulating large
flow-based monitoring environments. MIMIC Simulator is the engine behind Gambit's 
24/7 SaaS offering for Cisco CCNA practice labs, MIMIC Virtual Lab Cloud. With MIMIC 
scaling to 50,000 devices, it enables Cisco training organizations to provide thousands of 
CCNA lab pods running simultaneously. UDP support in the Server Simulator allows
proxying of scores of DNS servers, for example.
