Cisco 7200, 3600 series (3620, 3640 and 3660), 3700 series (3725, 3745) and 2600 series (2610 to 2650XM, 2691).
The goals of this emulator are mainly:
* To be used as a training platform, with software used in real world. It would allow people to become more familiar with Cisco devices, Cisco being the world leader in networking technologies ;
* Test and experiment the numerous and powerful features of Cisco IOS ;
* Check quickly configurations to be deployed later on real routers.
Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router: you should be able to get a performance of about 1 kpps (depending on your host machine), to be compared to the 100 kpps delivered by a NPE-100 (the oldest NPE model). So, it is simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA/CCNP/CCIE exams.

It's free, it emulates the hardware, not the IOS, so it's way better than any simulators out there. It works on Linux, Windows, Mac. It's just great.
