1. A hardware system for simulating a network physical layer for communication channels, the hardware system comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured to execute on the one or more hardware processors a model of a network physical layer and of communication channels by modeling effects of the network physical layer and communication channels based on coefficients set for the one or more hardware processors simulating latency, jitter, and losses and for providing interconnectivity between nodes, wherein
the one or more hardware processors are configured to use a single set of hardware, including a single set of gates and registers, in a single simulation to model a plurality of virtual routers for different nodes.
