related to the network simulators and other VM-management tools
I used the Cloonix open-source network simulator to simulate a very simple network. This helped me understand how to use the “point and click” functionality provided by the graph function to manually build and configure a test network. I also hope that the following procedure would be useful as a simple tutorial for anyone interested […]
