Traditional network experiments focus on validation through either simulation or emulation. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations. In this work, we present a new tool for next-generation network experiments created through Artificial Intelligence (AI) coding agents. This tool facilitates hybrid network experimentation through simulation and emulation capabilities. The simulator supports three main operation modes: pure simulation, pure emulation, and hybrid mode. AgenticNet provides a more flexible approach to creating experiments for cases that may require a combination of simulation and emulation. In addition, AgenticNet supports rapid development through AI agents. We test Python and C++ versions. The results show that C++ achieves higher accuracy and better performance than the Python version.
