A Comparison of Network Simulation and Emulation Virtualization Tools
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Packet Tracer (PT) is an official Cisco software simulator for exercising Cisco network equipment. Graphical Network Simulator (GNS3) is a free emulator software which allows running actual networking software images on a computer. Both provide good Graphic User Interface (GUI) design and have been intensively used for learners to build, configure, and troubleshoot networks in a virtualized network environment. In this paper, PT and GNS3 will be compared from the perspectives of capability and complexity. Strengths and weaknesses of each will be discussed. In addition, networks will be built in order to illustrate the points of our discussion.

Work in Progress: TUNIE: A Large Scale Emulation Testbed for DTN Protocol Evaluation Based on Network Virtualization
In order to provide communication services in Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) where it lacks of end-to-end paths between the communication sources and destinations, a variety of routing schemes have been proposed. Consequently, the DTN research community needs a credible, flexible and large scale platform to accurately evaluate their performance. Existing simulation tools and wildlife testb...
متن کاملA virtual time system for virtualization-based network emulations and simulations
Simulation and emulation are commonly used to study the behavior of communication networks, owing to the cost and complexity of exploring new ideas on actual networks. Emulations executing real code have high functional fidelity, but may not have high temporal fidelity because virtual machines usually use their host’s clock. To enhance temporal fidelity, we designed a virtual time system for vi...
