Open Source Linux Networking Software

Build, Design and Test your network in a risk-free virtual environment and access the largest networking community to help. Whether you are studying for your first networking exam or building out a state-wide telecommunications network, GNS3 offers an easy way to design and build networks of any size without the need for hardware.

DSR-UU is an implementation of the Dynamic Source Routing protocol that runs in the Linux kernel or in the ns-2 network simulator. It was originally created at Uppsala University, hence the UU.

The project has moved to github https://github.com/EnFlexIT/AgentWorkbench Agent.GUI is a simulation framework and toolkit based on the JADE framework. It provides functionalities for time aspects, agent-environment interaction, visualization and load balancing, Furthermore, the included application focuses the usability for end users.

CDNSimulator provides several libraries for ns2 simulator to extend it with content delivery networks (CDN).

This project constitutes an implementation of a custom-design distributed computing environment. The implementation is based on a form of Nbody simulation, which ran successfully across 33 networked-hosts.

The main goal of this project is the development of an IFX Transaction Switch that handle particular devices like an ATM (J/XFS compliant), POS in the future, and other devices that speak a common language: IFX

jnetstack - The Java Network Stack , provides a Java API to research-oriented network programming.

Liowsn (Linux for works with WSN) was created to assist teachers, students and people involved with projects of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The operating system is Ubuntu 9.10 remastered and it contains several tools for simulation and testing installed to work with WSN.

Mangrovia is a tool for automatic complex multilayer topology generation in a compatible format with Network Simulator 2 (ns-2). Based on specs (in xml format), software creates an otcl script. Users can set Bandwidths, Distances, Linking Policies.

MiXiM is a simulator for wireless and mobile networks using the OMNeT++ simulation engine.

This program reads the output traces of MITSIMLab and converts them into a format which can be read and visualized by Ns 2.

Mupisim is a simulator for distributed, mobile systems. Its primary purpose is the study of mobile processes (e.g. mobile agents) and their communication mechanisms. It may also be used to evaluate the efficiency of a given process migration scheme.

The Network Security Response Framework (NSRF) allows for testing different computer security response engines and methodologies. It supports simulated and real: Intrusion Detection Systems (sensors), Attacks, and Responses.

The goal of this project is to be an improvement of the original Network Animator (NAM) module provided as part of the Network Simulator 2 (NS2). This tool provides topology visualization, TCL script generation, and enhanced simulation animation.

The project page provides the source code of custom built simulators used in our publications whose URL are given as follow: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2013.09.006 http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/PIMRC.2009.5449983 The titles of the papers are: Online XOR packet coding: Efficient single-hop wireless multicasting with low decoding delay (COMCOM VERSION). An efficient network coding based retransmission algorithm for wireless multicast (PIMRC VERSION). Help (README) files are included in the .zip files. The project will no longer be updated.

A wireless push-type network simulator that considers locality of demand for performance improvement. The network environment consists of multiple directed emitters for parallel data broadcasting. Performance depends on the mean response time of clients.

ShoX is a scalable simulator for wireless networks written in Java. It is easy to install, configure and use, so that reliable and expressive scientific results can be gathered in a short time. Documentation: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/shox

A perl/Gtk2 GUI for VNUML (http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml/). This GUI will let you quick prototype your VNUML topology by graphically placing, linking and editing network elements, reading/writing VNUML files and run your simulation right from the GUI.

VeriNeC (Verified Network Configuration) is a network configuration management application. It allows to import configuration, simulate and verify the network and distribute configuration to devices.

Virtop is a software providing solution for simulating computer networks with scenarios on a single machine. It is mainly intended for education purposes like organizing practice classes in computer networks in the universities.

Virtual interactive experiments (vexp) is a framework to promote the developmentand use of cooperative e-learning experiments over the internet. Interactive scientific experiments which can be controlled by various users synchronously.

Open source Ganeral Multi-agentPlatform, FIPA-compliant.

NS-2 Trace Statistics is a tool for easy generation of summary statistics from Network Simulator trace files, such as: total and network delay, packets generated, sent, received and dropped, run length histograms and MRU stack depth.
