## Network simulation

Use the Network simulation pane to run a network simulation to test against various bandwidth profiles. You can also select **Advanced options** to add override URLs that simulate levels of connectivity that are different from the default level of your network simulation and exempt ports that will always have full network connectivity, regardless of the network simulation that you're running.
