PTAnywhere is an open source HTML5 user interface for Cisco Packet Tracer running on a server. It simulates a network topology in a web browser and does not require any network simulation software on the client PC. Packet Tracer backend components are accessible through an open API.

For the first time in Cisco Packet Tracer history, it can be freely accessed from the Internet and integrated in e-learning environment. However, the Github project seems to be freezed and Packet Tracer Anywhere has not been upgraded with the new Packet Tracer 8.2.2 engine.

Packet Tracer Anywhere web interface

PTAnywhere provides limited devices when comparing with Packet Tracer desktop. The C2960 switch (IOS 12.2 ) and the ISR 2901 router (IOS 15.1(4)M4) are the only routers and switches available.

Get started with the new Packet Tracer online simulator and enjoy the capabilities of this new Cisco network simulation tool.

More informations about PTAnywhere are available on http://pt-anywhere.kmi.open.ac.uk/ . Packet Tracer Anywhere has played an important role in remote teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the project no longer seems to receive maintenance since no one has published new code on GitHub since summer 2016.
