Verax SNMP Agent Simulator is a tool that can simulate multiple SNMPv1/v2c agents 
on a single host on standard 161 port through multi-netting. It allows IT personnel 
to build virtual, simulated networks of devices without purchasing any additional hardware, 
for instance for testing purposes. Individual simulated agent responses can be initially
retrieved from existing devices and modified at runtime by user defined rules.
