The homepage is at https://www.lernsoftware-filius.de/Startseite; excerpt from the English Introduction at https://www.lernsoftware-filius.de/downloads/Introduction_Filius.pdf: FILIUS was initially developed by the University Siegen, Germany, to provide a tool for enhancing computer science lessons on networks. The main target group are students of secondary schools but with its wide range of applications it can be interesting for learners of any age. The software especially promotes explorative learning and is very helpful to teach students about the internet and its various applications. I saw it when my daughter asked me and I think it's really cool; it has routers, switches, endpoints, servers, and all the details on ethernet and TCP/IP: - MAC addresses - ARP - TCP/IP with subnets - routing (so gateway definitions are necessary) - simulation - you can see cables blinking and get a list of packets (like ARP, ICMP, etc.) - provides standard services (mail, DNS, http) and console windows on the endpoints with commands like ping, traceroute, etc. See eg. https://www.inf-schule.de/kommunikation/netze/module/filius/internet/erkundung_dns for a few screenshots, like a router with multiple interfaces at https://www.inf-schule.de/content/6_kommunikation/1_netze/3_module/10_filius/4_internet/4_erkundung_dns/netz_dns.png It would be really great to have that available as easily as possible, ie. with a simple "apt-get". Thanks a lot!
