NetHang is a web-based tool designed to simulate network quality, focusing on the diversity of last-mile network conditions. For modern internet applications and services with high real-time requirements, NetHang offers a stable, reentrant, customizable, and easily extensible network quality simulation system, helping to achieve low-latency and high-quality internet services.

Unlike traditional network impairment tools that target backbone network quality between servers and switches, NetHang is optimized for:

- Simulating network quality from user equipment (UE) to servers, typically traversing:
    - UE <--> Lan (Wi-Fi or Wired) <--> Routers <--> ISP edge nodes <--> APP servers
    - UE <--> Cellular <--> ISP edge nodes <--> APP servers
    - UE <--> Air interface <--> Satellite <--> APP servers

- The current network model is built and simplified based on existing network quality data modeling, while also supporting users to easily customize the network models they need for testing in YAML format.

- NetHang clearly displays the differences in data traffic before and after simulation, as well as the state of the simulation conditions.
