Testing IPv6 addressing in a network simulator – Part 1

IPv6 addressing is about more than just a longer 128-bit address length. The working groups that defined IPv6 were trying to solve some of the problems that programmers, network administrators, and network engineers were encountering with IPv4. The way that IPv6 prefixes and addresses are assigned and configured differs significantly from IPv4. IPv6 offers some […]

Quagga vtysh shell (END) problem

Previously, we installed the CORE Network Emulator from source code and installed the network services used by CORE. Now, we want to run a simulated networking scenario and modify the configuration of the quagga routing daemon on one or more virtual routers. To do this, we open a shell to the node and start the

CORE Network Emulator: Install Network Services

To emulate the operation of IP networks, the CORE Network Emulator requires that routing and networking software be installed on the host Linux system. CORE creates virtual nodes using the Linux Containers (LXC) network namespaces feature so all services installed in the host computer will be available to run on the virtual nodes created by
