Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the core-network package.
The package description is:
The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating
networks in one or more machines. You can connect these emulated
networks to live networks.
.
CORE consists of a GUI for drawing topologies of lightweight virtual
machines, and Python modules for scripting network emulation.
.
Key features:
.
1. Network lab in a box
- Efficient and scalable
- Easy-to-use GUI canvas
- Centralized configuration and control
2. Runs applications and protocols without modifying them
3. Real-time connection to live networks
- Hardware-in-the-loop
- Distributed with multiple COREs
4. Highly customizable
5. The emulated machines can use several resources and programs
installed on the real machine, as tcpdump.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- CORE is useful when testing or learning about several network environments.
However...
- This package has a RC bug and the upstream does not have a solution. Please,
see the following links:
