As a personal project, I am researching open-source switch and router software, open-source server software, open-source network simulation tools, and open-source software defined networking technology.
I write posts about the open-source network emulation and network simulation tools that I find. I am working to create a resource that will help readers to simulate the functionality of complex traditional and software defined networks on a single personal computer using free software.
I usually post new articles on this blog about once per month. I post links to useful resources that I find on my twitter feed about a few times per week. To ensure you do not miss any posts, please subscribe to my RSS feed. To receive daily updates about useful resources, please follow me on twitter.

Colophon
My blog is built on a self-hosted installation of WordPress. I host this site on a shared server I rent from BlueHost. I purchased BlueHost’s WordPress Plus Hosting plan which offers good performance and features such as staging environments. My domain names are managed by Hover, which allows me to redirect domain names to my BlueHost server.
I use the Astra WordPress Theme for my blog.
I use a Lenovo T420 laptop computer running Ubuntu 22.04 for my research and writing. I describe how I set up my Linux computer on another page. I also occasionally use my Apple iMac computer to write posts or to run Linux on a virtual machine.

I started blogging in July 2012 and I am pleased to see that interest in this blog has grown steadily to over twenty thousand visitors per month.
