We describe a tool to help exercise and train IT managers who make decisions about IP networks in the midst of cyber calamity. Our tool is interactive, centered around a network simulation. It includes various modes of communications one would use to make informed decisions. Our tool is capable of simulating networks with hundreds of components and dozens of players. Test indicate that it could support an exercise an order of magnitude larger and more complex.
