Anotace: This article compares EVE-NG, a network emulation software, to other commonly used network simulation tools such as Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3. EVE-NG’s features, benefits, and drawbacks are assessed in terms of system requirements, support platforms, web interface, console access, topology management, and advanced lab functionalities. EVE-NG is tested by the students in the real-world application, and feedback from a group of students is gathered regarding their satisfaction and suggestions for improvement. The results of this study show that EVE-NG provides a robust and versatile tool for simulating complex network scenarios, despite compatibility, reliability, and performance issues. It is concluded that EVE-NG has the potential to improve student learning outcomes in computer networks; however, ongoing development and refinement are necessary to meet user expectations and needs.
