As we work through this tutorial, we will learn how to use the cloonix graph interface to build a simulation scenario that includes two small IPv6 networks connected to each other by two routers via static routes. We will also learn how cloonix saves network topologies and guest virtual machine root filesystems. The cloonix open-source […]
The cloonix project provides a variety of root filesystems for use in the cloonix network simulator. These root filesystem only have the most basic software packages installed and will not support advanced network configuration (with the exception of router filesystems such as openwrt). To create a network simulation that runs real-world networking software, we need
The cloonix development team recently updated the cloonix network simulator to version 24. This post describes the changes in cloonix v24 compared to cloonix v19, which we reviewed in a previous post. Version 24 simplifies the setup of guest virtual machines, improves the link performance emulation tool, and adds new interface types designed to improve
