Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I wonder if there is any simulation tool for IP based routing protocol ? Ideally, it will allow user to specify a number of interconnected routers and route table in the forms of static route entries that is read during initialization. It will also be able to simulate the capability of learning new routes, propogating routing table info to peer routers. Also, provides an interface to define and inject a packet from a network/router to a destination and when the packet reaches the defined routers, it highlight which routing entry is taking effect in forwarding the packet etc ... Basically, what I'm after is a tool that can help simulating a complex routing environemnt ... Am I asking too much ?
