Latest NewsJune 7, 2019. I decided to list the on my blog. When I started this blog, I did not consider it to be open source. Since then, some open-source projects have, adopted similar in spirit to the. The networking library for OMNet is fully open-source, and OMNET is free to use by individual researchers. So, I decided it is “open enough”.May 30, 2019.
The Virtual Model for IP Network Architecture Lab, also known as VIMINAL, has been updated to Version 2.0 and now incorporates KVM and LXD to create virtual labs. It is distributed as a set of ISO files that can be downloaded from the on SourceForge.
Recently posted a.Older news is archived on the page.List of Network Simulators and EmulatorsThis is a list of open-source network simulators and network emulators that run on Linux or BSD. Please post a comment on this page to let me know about any other open-source network simulation tools I did not include in this list.Antidote (NRE Labs)is a network emulator combined with a presentation framework designed to create and deliver networking technology training. Its user interface operates in a web browser, including the terminals that students use to run commands on emulated network devices and serversPlease.Antidote web site:NRE Labs web site:CloonixThe network simulator provides a relatively easy-to-use graphical user interface. Cloonix uses QEMU/KVM to create virtual machines. Cloonix provides a wide variety of pre-built filesystems that can be used as virtual machines and provides simple instructions for creating other virtual machine root filesystems.
Cloonix has an active development team, who update the tool every two or three months and who are very responsive to user input.Please.Cloonix web site:COREThe provides a GUI interface and uses the Network Namespaces functionality in Linux Containers (LXC) as a virtualization technology. This allows CORE to start up a large number of virtual machines quickly.
CORE supports the simulation of fixed and mobile networks.CORE will run on Linux and on FreeBSD. CORE is a fork of the IMUNES network simulator, and it adds some new functionality compared to IMUNES.Please.CORE web site:EVE-NGis a network emulator that supports virtualized commercial router images (such as Cisco and NOKIA) and open-source routers.
It uses Dynamips and IOS-on-Linux to support Cisco router and switch images, and KVM/QEMU to support all other devices. It is available as a virtual machine image and may also be installed on a dedicated server running Ubuntu Linux.EVE-NG is available in two editions: a professional version and a. The community license is not clearly stated and I cannot find the source code, so I am wondering if this project is no longer an open-source project?EVE-NG web site:GNS3is a graphical network simulator focused mostly on supporting Cisco and Juniper software. GNS3 has a large user base, made up mostly of people studying for Cisco exams, and there is a lot of information freely available on the web about using GNS3 to simulate Cisco equipment.GNS3 can also be used to simulate a network composed exclusively of VirtualBox and/or Qemu virtual machines running open-source software. GNS3 provides a variety of prepared open-source virtual appliances, and users can create their own.Please.GNS3 web site:IMUNESA team of researchers at the University of Zagreb developed the for use as a network research tool. IMUNES runs on both the FreeBSD and Linux operating systems.
It uses the kernel-level network stack virtualization technology provided by FreeBSD. It uses Docker containers and Open vSwitch on Linux.IMUNES supports a graphical user interface. It works well and offers good performance, even when running IMUNES in a VirtualBox virtual machine.Please.IMUNES web site: orKatharais a new version of, implemented using modern technologies like Docker, and backwards-compatible with Netkit labs. The Netkit project’s web site has a long list of interesting lab scenarios to practice, with documentation for each scenario.Please.Kathara web site:Netkit web site:Mininetis designed to support research in Software Defined Networking technologies.
It uses Linux network namespaces as its virtualization technology to create virtual nodes. The web site indicates that the tool can support thousands of virtual nodes on a single operating system. Mininet is most useful to researchers who are building SDN controllers and need a tool to verify the behavior and performance of SDN controllers. Knowledge of the Python scripting language is very useful when using Mininet.The Mininet project provides excellent documentation and, judging from the activity on the, the project is actively used by a large community of researchers.Some researchers have created forks of Mininet that focus on specific technologies. I list projects based on Mininet below:.Please.Mininet web site:NS-3is a discrete-event open-source network simulator for Internet systems, used primarily for research and educational use. NS-3 is a complex tool that runs simulations described by code created by users, so you may need programming skills to use it.NS-3 can run real software on simulated nodes using its feature.
This allows researchers to test real software like Quagga or web servers in a discreet-event network simulation to produce repeatable experiments.NS-3 is meant to replace, a previous version of the network simulator. NS-2 is no longer actively maintained but is still used by some researchers.I have not used NS-3, yet.NS-3 web site:Shadowis an open-source network simulator/emulator hybrid that runs real applications like Tor and Bitcoin over a simulated Internet topology on a single Linux computer, and also on a pre-configured AMI instance on Amazon EC2. Users run a simulation by creating an XML file to describe the network topology and plugins to link their application code to nodes in the simulation.
They see the results of their experiments in log files generated by Shadow.Shadow operates as a discrete-event simulator so experimental results are repeatable. Shadow can also run real software on its virtual nodes, using. This combination of features — discreet-event simulation coupled with real software emulation — makes Shadow a unique tool.I have not yet used Shadow. It seems to be useful to developers who want to test the performance of distributed or peer-to-peer applications like TOR and Bitcoin.Shadow network simulator web site:VNX and VNUMLsupports two different virtualization techniques and uses an XML-style scripting language to define the virtual network. It also supports chaining multiple physical workstations together to support distributed virtual labs that operate across multiple physical workstations.

Wistar also supports Linux virtual machines and, interestingly, uses cloud-init to configure them from the Wistar user interface. Wistar also supports generic virtual appliances, in a basic way.Please.Wistar web site:Do it yourself using Linux tools and applicationsLinux provides many different ways to build a network emulator using open-source. Some examples are: KVM and Libvirt, Docker and Compose, Openstack and Devstack, VirtualBox, Vagrant, Ansible, Linux bridges, Open vbSwitch, and many more.Many of the network emulators described in this blog us some of the tools mentioned above to implement their functionality.Please. Other Emulators and SimulatorsI list projects below that are either very new or that are older with low development activity. New projects (on the radar)is a fork of the Mininet network emulator that allows you to use Docker containers as hosts in emulated network topologies.The uses Docker containers to build network nodes, and it uses Open vSwitch to create switches. KNet has both a CLI and a web interface.The is a very simple educational network simulator intended to be used with 15-16 year old students.is a network emulator based on Docker containers that also provides that focus on cybersecurity scenarios.The enables development of and experimentation with a variety of networking protocols in WAN, LAN, and WLAN networks.is a network emulator developed at the in Canada.
It is currently available as an open beta. Similar to other network emulators, NetMirage allows users to run real code to test IP applications. Hi Vincent,You are correct that the tools I am working with are mostly related to “emulation”, not “simulation”. Looking at the Google Analytics information for this site, I see that the search terms most people use to find this site are the terms, “network simulation” or “network simulator”.
Very few people seem use the search term, “network emulation”.I agree with you that using the term “network simulation” to describe both “emulation” and “simulation” is an acceptable way to make this topic more accessible to searchers, even if it is not really an accurate way to describe the tools.Thanks,Brian. Hi Mike,Thanks for your question.Based on what I know about all the tools in this list, I think that GNS3 is the only system that will work on Windows. However, I was able to run most of the tools I reviewed (and I’ve reviewed about half the tools in this list so far) in a virtual machine and the virtual machine will run on VirtualBox in Windows.For the case you describe, and assuming you want a tool that has a GUI, I would also recommend either IMUNES or the CORE Network Emulator running on a FreeBSD system in a VirtualBox virtual machine on MS Windows.

The instructor will have to do some work to create the system and simplify the desktop setup so that the complexities of using an unfamiliar operating system are hidden from the students but as soon as IMUNES or CORE is started, the students will be using the application and not worrying about running Unix BSD Unix commands. While this solution is not really straightforward and simple, I believe that the instructor can set it up so that, from the students’ point of view, it appears to be acceptably straightforward and simple.Thanks,Brian.
Hi Brian, some great information in your feedback on this forum.I have Oracle VirtualBox installed on my laptop with some VM’s (ubuntu / fedora) created.As part of a project I am looking create a S2S VPN tunnel using IPsec to connet to a VPC in AWS and /or AZURE.Should any of your suggested open source netwok emulators like GNS3, Cloonix or perhaps something like pfsense if installed on VirtualBox allow me to create this VPN tunnell to AWS/Azure.Appreciate any suggestions or things to avoid. Thanks Maurice. Hi,I will wish just your feedbacks on Live Raizo.With your little description, i believe that you think that Raizo is just a Live where GNS3/Qemu/VirtualBox are already installed and if you want use it, you must configured a lot of things.But, Live Raizo can do more: 18 Debian Linux VM are created and fully integrated into GNS3/VirtualBox. These VM have same softwares that NetKit (which was installed on the first releases of Raizo).Without configuring anything, you can do the same things that with Cloonix or NetKit (with VisualNetkit).One of its advantages is that nothing is installed, modified or deleted on your own OS.One of its drawbacks is that all is lost if you don’t save.DavidPS: I think that your contact email on privacy-policy page doesn’t work. Hi David,Thanks. I fixed my contact e-mail address.
And, thanks for the extra information about Live Raizo.I think is a good project. Projects like Live Razio and provide an installation of GNS3 along with supporting filesystems (with all necessary software pre-installed) and prepared lab scenarios are a great way for people to become familiar with using GNS3 without having to install and configure GNS3 on their PC.
They also make it easier to use GNS3 to build simulation scenarios.I notice the both Live Raizo and GNS3 Workbench are prominently featured on the.Thanks,Brian. Brian/David:Thanks for all the feedback. I had posted the same question on an openNMS forum and gotten zero responses so I really appreciate the info being provided here.Regarding GNS3, I was under the impression it’s main focus is providing a high-fidelity replication of Cisco and Juniper routers and enterprise-level WANs. By “high-fidelity” I mean something detailed enough that it can be used as a study aide for somebody trying to get certified by Cisco or Juniper. I think for my needs the best fit will be something that is fairly broad in scope (e.g. Can emulate anything from SOHO LAN to a global grid) but where fidelity is less important than flexibility and ease of use. The idea is to get a basic network emulation going and than interface to it via openNMS.
Juniper Firewall Filter
I wondering if using GNS3 may force me to go deeper into IOS and/or JUNOS that I want.My understanding is that Cloonix is pretty easy to set up and use, allows the use of standard Linux networking tools (e.g., ping, traceroute, etc) and, if desired, has support for emulating cisco routers with some reasonable fidelity. If that is correct, I’m thinking I’ll try it first.– Larry. Hi Larry,I prefer cloonix for working with open-source routers, in the case where full-stack virtualization is needed (using KVM).GNS3 will work with open-source routers but, as you observed, it’s primary purpose is to support Cisco router images and it’s management of open-source routers relies on VirtualBox (which is OK but takes more steps to set up each unique virtual machine disk image).Both cloonix and GNS3 provide high-fidelity network simulation because they allow you to work with virtual machines running real networking software. Cloonix is more streamlined for use with open-source routers and other open-source software, which I think fits better with your use-case for working with OpenNMS.Thanks for your questions!Brian. Hi Brian,Thanks for this great article. I test access multiplexers and would like to create a network of 24-96 guest hosts, each with their own IP.
The purpose of this is to try to congest multiplexer-under-test with TCP traffic. There will be a simulated PC for each of the modems connected to a multiplexer-under-test (that supports between 24-96 modems). I would then like to set up a packet (TCP) generator or an FTP server on the uplink of the multiplexer, where the 24-96 guest hosts would then simultaneously download files from the server. Other than 2 high performing server blades with 10G ports, which virtualization software and/or network simulator do I need? You need to do some testing to determine which options work best for you. In my opinion, you need a hypervisor like Xen, KVM, of VMWare) or you can use Linux containers (maybe use Docker), which use less systme resources than full VMs and may allow you to run more virtual test nodes per host machine.
Set up your VMs and connect them all to the 10G port. You don’t need a network simulation emulation tool, unless it helps with your automation requirements (for example: Cloonix for KVM, CORE for Linux containers). Even then, I would recommend other tools like chef or puppet (or use shell scripts) instead of a network simulator for your test system because it seems you will need more functionality related to virtual server setup automation instead of simulating different network topologies. I don’t know all the tools available to automate virtual server setup and configuration but I would expect some of them support a Python API so I suggest you do some searches to find what would be suitable. I don’t know how to calculate the expected performance or throughput per virtual server, but I think 100 Mbps is asking for a lot, unless you have a very powerful host machine. You will have to do some testing, I think.To get started quickly, try using the CORE Network Emulator. CORE is implemented in Python and has a documented Python API.
You can create a set of virtual servers that all connect to the external Ethernet interface on the host machine. You can create a custom service type that supports starting an FTP client and then running some download commands. When you save the network scenario, you can re-load it at a later date to run the same test again. I plan to post some information on customizing services in the CORE Network Emulator in a few days.But, I do not know what kind of performance you will get.For master controllers, Linux offers the.libvirt. tool (which supports KVM, Linux containers, and other types of virtualization) and I am sure there are other open-source virtual machine configuration and controller tools you can use.You can also use.Virtualbox., which is an easy-to-use VM manager with a GUI (and excellent documentation).
I think you will want to run real software on virtual nodes in this scenario so I recommend you use a network emulator for your project.Most of the software projects I list on this page are actually “network emulators”. You should choose a network emulator that uses virtualization technology and scripting languages you are comfortable using.If you need a recommendation I can say that and are easy to use and should meet your requirement to run BGP routing software on different nodes in an emulated network. But any of the other emulators (except for Psimulator) will also work for you.If you really need to use a “network simulator”, you may want to use the NS-3 network simulator. I have no practical experience with NS-3 but it I understand that it supports a feature called “Direct Code Execution” (DCE) that can run real networking software, such as quagga.
See andI hope that helps.–Brian. Hi David,CORE uses Linux Namespaces as its method to create virtual nodes. This means that each node does not have its own filesystem upon which you can install apps.
You need to install applications on your host computer, like I do in my post about. Then, when you start a virtual node in the CORE Network Emulator, that node can run the app in a separate process namespace. Also you need to be aware of how CORE sets up configuration files in the filesystem for each service that runs, especially if you will create your own custom services. Remember, you should not just start a process on a CORE node. USe the “Services” dialogue box to start the programs you need and if the program you need is not already listed in the “Services” dialogue box,. I suggest you read the rest of my posts about.
I encountered the same problems I suspect you will encounter.Thanks,Brian. I am sorry to say that there has been a cloonix mailing list once, but now, the list is closed.There is very little communication around cloonix apart from this blog here.Do not hesitate, Brian to forward anything concerning cloonix to the cloonix team. The mail you transmitted about saving and configuration was good for the product progress, the needs we have here usin the tool is not the same as the needs other people may have. Here we never save a topology, we just scritp its construction and send configuration commands to virtual machines always starting from virgin reference guests.Thanks Brian for this blog.

Yes, i have used VirtualBox but not real scenario. It isn’t necessary for reconnaissance, gathering informations of ports, OS, figure out the vulnerability, but i just straightforward to exploit.
I think those hardly ever happen in real world, so i need to stand at malicious attackerside, point of view, which always try to figure out the way to get in, even against sophisticated& uptodate appliance (such as routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS etc).Can those 2 (Cloonix or GNS3) adapt uptodate & sophisticated appliance, which always been patched, updated. I mean can i update the router software, IDS/IPS (if any) etc like in real?citizen292. I think it depends on how you will set up your test scenario. Will you be modifying the Linux kernel? Will you run modified networking stacks on some of the nodes on the network? If so, I recommend using a simulator that supports full virtualization, like GNS3 or Cloonix.If you need to run a lot of nodes in the simulating or will all use the same kernel and networking software, use a simulator based on containers, like CORE or Mininet.All these are actually “emulators” that provide accurate functionality but may not provide accurate performance simulation if you run large amounts of traffic. If you need performance accuracy and reproduceable measurements of performance, I suggest you use a discreet-event simulator like NS-2 or NS-3.I hope this helps.Brian.
Hi Brian,Thanks a lot for this post/article. My bad, I missed this for so long time.Awesome part is, you take time to reply every single reply/comment. That’s really amazing.I wonder, if you can suggest from the list, the simulator where I can also do automation of network configurations & network protocol testing.I believe that is outside the scope of all these network simulators and/or emulators listed.For education purpose, I am trying to create a framework for this purpose.Thanks Again!Cheers!!-Parthiban.N. Hi Parthiban,Thanks for your comment.
I need to know which network automation tools you are considering before I can advise you. Some network automation tools (like Ansible, or Docker) effectively do the same work as the network emulators I reviewed in this blog: they set up hosts and create networks between them in an automated fashion.To do what you want, you need a tool that supports nested virtualization because you will need to create two “layers” of virtual networks. The first “layer” will consist of an emulated network created using a tool like Cloonix or GNS3. The second “layer” will be created by the network automation tools you are testing and it will operate as if the first “layer” is the hardware infrastructure available to it.I suggest using Cloonix on a Linux system because it will support nested KVM.I do not know how well this will work. Good luck.–Brian. Thanks for keeping this blog. It is wonderful to find this much good info and experience in one place.
I will, hopefully, be doing some of this in my job in the very near future. I am late to the discussion, but I think it is valuable to keep “simulation” and “emulation” conceptually distinct.
The key distinction is the ability to create test-beds for physical hardware and systems under test. If I have a new device, I cannot “plug it into” a simulation to discover its behavior. I can only “plug it into” a simulation when I already know how it behaves in all relevant circumstances. How do I find this information out? I plug it into an “emulator” first! Then, I subject it to every interesting condition, measure its behavior, THEN I can write a simulation of it. Think of it this way: if I shoot you with a good emulation of a gun, it will probably — literally — kill you.
If I shoot you with a good simulation of gun, you will just have to wear a sign that says, “I’m simulating a corpse.”. I do not think that any of the emulators in this list would emulate a standard large-scale WLAN network succesfully. If you plan to implement a WLAN using 100% open-source software then you could emulate that same system — at a small scale — using virtualization and using the mac80211hwsim driver to emulate the wireless part.is a software simulator for Wi-Fi radios that can be used to that use the mac80211 wlan driver. Using this tool, researchers may. Some practical examples and supporting information are at the following links:, and.You would, essentially, be building a WLAN emulator from scratch.However, you said you are working on a WLAN that will serve a very large school. Then I suspect you would be looking at commercial solutions with high-capacity access points, and WLAN controllers.
If you need to emulate this system as part of your planning process, I suggest use the ability to emulate the solution as one of the requirements when you go looking for vendors.Brian. Hi Brian,First of all Thank you for providing all this helpful information.I need your suggestion regarding a task.I want to use a network emulator where I can add some new devices from non standard vendors. And then I want to configure the devices/ or simply input information in the attributes of configuration.
Then using my application I want to get the configuration or attributes to generate configuration in a file. Can you please suggest me any emulator where we have APIs to communicate or can be used to complete the purpose?Many Thanks in advance!!!GAURAV. Brian,You clearly know way more about these tools than I do.Maybe you could save me a bunch of time and make a recommendation for me. Perhaps, the best answer for my needs is a custom solution, and that’s okay too.I develop voip/sip software I was interested in simulating network failure and recovery scenarios by actively running my components in some sort of virtual Network environment on a single machine and observing how they behave when network sub-nets or server nodes become unavailable or come back on-line.
Seeing how well (or poorly) they perform in a stable and unstable network environment would be valuable too.My components build on ZeroMQ and Redis so whatever platform is okay with me.Any suggestions?Thanks so much!Karlton. Hi Brian,I happened across your article via Google and wanted to ask a quick question if you don’t mind?Can these programs be used to generate network traffic?I’m asking because I’m working on a project now that polls network switches for different data sets via SNMP, and examines forensic Netflow. We then tie the two datasets together for reporting. Our local network traffic isn’t large enough to help load test our software, so I’m looking for a tool that can scale our network traffic.Would you recommend any of these tools for this job?Thanks!
Hi Brian, I’m working in a project to compare IP-based networks vs Openflow-based. I’m using network throughput and latency (iPerf and Ping) and creating different topologies (tree, bus, single, etc) to collect results from the network and compare. For Openflow I used Mininet which allow me to create link with specific parameters (bw=100Mbps, Delay=2ms). Which net sim would you recommend to do the same with ip-based networks? I was trying with GNS3 but I notice GNS3 won’t let me configure the link to specific parameters (bw, delay). Some of the other options looks like also doesn’t support link parameters.Thanks. Hi Ali,I assume your software testing must be rigorous and repeatable.
If you need to measure performance and step through the protocol, you will need a “discreet event” network simulator like. NS-3 is complex and I do not have any experience using it. But it is used by academics around the world because it offers repeatable results. NS-3 can also support different link-layer protocols besides just Ethernet.On the other hand, network emulators are easier to use. They work like “real world” systems but the performance results will not always be consistent. Most are limited to experimenting with Network-layer and higher layer protocols. The emulators I review in this blog use Ethernet as the Link-layer protocol.
Emulators may be “good enough”, depending on your needs.Emulators I usually recommend for “traditional” IP network emulation are: Cloonix, GNS3, and CORE.Regards,Brian. Hi, I don’t see in your list, maybe because it’s a French project. It seems to be a simulator and not an emulator, although I couldn’t find rapidly any confirmation from their website.Do you know?
It’s allows looking for alternative to lots of softwares. For instance for GNS 3 , you can see that there are fewer alternatives than the ones you list here. Maybe worth updating their website?Anyway it’s a useful site to follow to find new alternatives.I see there are more than 150 comments on this post, which is repellent to read, although there are precious information.
Maybe you could refactor these into dedicated question pages (in a stackoverflow way)?And instead of refreshing this post, maybe you could create a new post (one per year? Nothing I have written about to date is specifically adapted to emulate an “internet of things”.

Hello,I have been working on the development of an integration testbed of Linux containers (LXC or LXD) and ns-3 network simulator. The ns-3 has an emulation mode execution set up where the ns-3 net devices can be connected to LXC via tap-bridge.In this regard, there was a preliminary tutorial provided at. In my research work, I may need to deploy 1k to 10k Linux containers.
Therefore, I have decided to use the LXD that is built on LXC for the high level and service oriented management.In my host machine, I have Linux containers created by LXD and a ns-3 simulator. Can you help me or show me how the Linux containers can be integrated to the ns-3 simulator?Thanks in advanceGelli. Hi Brian:I have read your most posts about network simulation,The writing is wonderful!I have benefited a lot from it.I have developed network simulation for ten years by opnet.but now I found that network simulation is more useful in building network testing platform.I want to build a network attack and defense platform.But I’m not familiar with the emulation tools you mentioned above.Can you give me a suggestion? Which tool is better? What are the differences between IMUNES and CORE?
Does IMUNES support multiple machines running? Does both IMUNES and CORE support DOCKER?By the way, are you familiar with emulab and ToMaTo Testbed? Hi QiTan, I know about emulab and ToMaTo. At some point in the future, I plan to investigate whether ToMaTo can be installed and used on a single laptop computer. I understand that emulab is a research platform and is not available to individuals like me.I cannot recommend a specific emulator because I do not know all your requirements. I suggest you consider what type of virtualization best meets your requirements and use that as a basis for choosing the emulator. IMUNES supports Docker natively.
CORE has the ability to connect to a Docker container but does not implement nodes using Docker.Thanks,Brian. Hi Brian:I know this is a down-in-weeds question but your blog seems to be the de-facto Cloonix support site so I figured I would see if you might be able to help. I’m trying to install the latest version of Cloonix based on the instructions in your post on “ DNS and BIND demonstration using the Cloonix network emulator“. Devanagari keyboard download. More specifically, I cloned the gitHub repository and then ran the installdepends and doitall scripts. Unfortunately, the build fails with the following:virgleglcontext.c: In function ‘virgleglinit’:virgleglcontext.c:165:49: error: ‘EGLPLATFORMGBMKHR’ undeclared (first use in this function)d-egldisplay = getplatformdisplay (EGLPLATFORMGBMKHR,^virgleglcontext.c:165:49: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears inmake3:. virgleglcontext.lo Error 1This would appear to be a bug in either the latest posted source or the build scripts (e.g., they are using unstable code).
Any suggestions?ThanksLarry. Hi Brian,First thanks to this blog that i find very usefull for network emulators/simulators.In my PhD I intend to develop some Optimisation algorithms for Service Function Chaining.Hence I need to simulate/emulate an NFV/SDN Environnement in which i will integrate my algorithms to test their performances (with scale of nodes, links, Network functionsetc).– Can you please advise what are the best simulators/emulators that i could use for this issue (In conjunction perheps of SDN controllers like OpenDaylight, ONOS,etc.). Hi Brian, you did a great post and I would like to ask some questions about it.
I’m noob in this field, but I would like to set up a test environment to do some live migration tests over a single physical machine. I explain my idea: I want to have two containers emulating a streaming server linked via an emulated wan and a third virtual machine/containers by emulating the client that will receive the video streaming. I don’t know what software and in which order I should install to make everything working.
I have thought that I need, first, installing a linux server like ubuntu and on top of that I need to install a network emulator. My first doubt is: am I to install this network emulator as simple software on top of linux server or like a docker or virtual machine? This network emulator will have to emulate a wan link and connecting two containers which will emulate the streaming servers. Second doubt is: How can I connect these two containers to my network emulator? Or better are these two containers to be installed inside a virtual machine?
I mean do I need to nest containers into virtual machines or I simple can connect them to the network emulator? So to sum up, my ideal scenario would be: a network emulator for emulating a wan link between two video streaming containers and a third machine emulating the client of service. Could you please, help me out to have a clear picture of what software and in which order to install on a unique physical machine? Many thanks in advance. I know that this is a little bit of autospam, but in case you want to consider it, I’ve also created a very simple educational network simulator intended to be used with my 15-16 year old students.
Its aim is to work with them the following concepts:IP addresses & network masks (with static and dynamic IPs)protocols (ICMP, DHCP, DNS, HTTP). HiFirst of all, thanks for the information shared on this page.

It helped a lot.Also I am looking for some suggestions. If possible, guide a way to know whether a particular simulator supports my requirements or not. I am looking for a network simulator that meets the following requirements.1) Simulator should support both Electrical packet and Optical circuit switching to simulate my hybrid network and check its perforamance like throughput, jitter, delay, etc.2) Simulator should allow the user to define different traffic models.3) Should support ECMP routing protocol?Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions! Hi Brian,If you are looking for an open-source network simulation tool, check-out Batfish. Batfish builds a full network simulation from the device configurations, including routing/forwarding tables, NATs, firewall sessions, etc It really is a network validation platform, but the routing and forwarding simulation is a core part of the solution.Also, I feel like the term simulator and emulator are being used incorrectly here. GNS3 is not a simulator. It is an emulation platform.
You can run virtual images of numerous devices in it but you are emulating real network devices.Thanks.Samir. Brian, this site is a godsend. I have a proposal to write and in looking at potential activities decided that I need a NW modeling and simulation. I looked at OpNet, but it doesn’t look like Riverbed has done much with it since they purchased it. Not sure if it’s even a simulator rather than an emulator (figured this out when talking to the people at extrahop).
I could use an emulator to get an picture of the current environment, but I’d like to transfer the data into a simulator so that I can create new component models to test how these would affect network performance. I have no idea what models we’ll have to build. It could be radios, satellites, drones, (wireless), or someone want to test their SDN.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Cisco came to play. Any suggestions?
I’ve been out of this field for way to long.
