Observed Issues & Notes

• Occasional UI lag on very large topologies (>50 devices) in the test machine; performance scales with host CPU/RAM.
• Some advanced platform-specific Cisco features (rare proprietary hardware modules) are not fully simulated — expected limitation of Packet Tracer vs. real gear or full-featured simulators/emulators.
• Packet Tracer 8.x introduced a new UI and added IoT features; certain saved files from much older versions may require conversion or show layout differences.
