I feel like this could be made into an ISP Tycoon game.

Oh god, it seems to essentially be packet tracer under the hood. It's a great tool, but I HATED using it in school.

gns3 perhaps? I haven't had that setup for a while but I loved it. I had my whole small ISP in it at some point to work as a test/lab env for testing things out. It's a trick to get going but was kinda fun. I took a copy of that when I left and every now and then I fire it up and mess around with my old dsl/dialup ISP from back in the day.

Dang, as someone that enjoys Tycoons, Tactics, and Management Simulators, this really sounds fun.
