Also to add:
http://warriors.eecs.umich.edu/viz_tools/nam.html (referenced from
ISI.edu/nsnam above), and the Java version, JAVIS
Also worth looking at:
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cnet/ (more for pure network simulation, not
tied to any particular protocol).
And of course, as suggested above, just using a virtual network using
something like VirtualBox/KVM and some Linux/BSD boxes, and throw in
maybe Dynamips / Dynagen / GNS3 (http://www.gns3.net/) if you want to
simulate some IOS.
Finally something like Quagga/BIRD for the routing protocol part.
Cheers,
