A large-scale network node simulation method based on Linux container is provided, which solves problems of low packet transmission efficiency and multi-thread creation in real-time simulation in a large-scale network scenario. The method includes: scheduling all container nodes in a scenario; managing, by a container node, a dynamic thread through an idle thread management queue, and setting a finite state machine and a function pointer for the dynamic thread; registering, by a source container node, an output queue with a next-hop container node, and informing the next-hop container node to allocate a dynamic thread for receiving and processing the output queue. Packet transmission is realized between the container nodes through data units created in a shared memory. The sending thread and the receiving thread dynamically adjust the number of dynamic threads by checking the state of the output queue.
