Packet simulator

Created a simulator that simulates a simple network.

Description

Implemented a simple network that simulates the arrival of packets based on a specific probability, determines which routers receive them, and indicates whether/when they reach their destination. For this simulator to function correctly, the user must input information such as the packet arrival probability, the number of routers, the maximum size of each router, the maximum number of packets that could arrive at the dispatcher in one simulation unit, the minimum/maximum packet size, and the duration of the simulator.
