Open Source Networking Software

The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks on 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.

AQA-AODV is a new QoS routing protocol for MANETs based on AODV, which creates routes according to application QoS requirements. We have introduced link and path available bandwidth estimation mechanisms and an adaptive scheme that can provide feedback to the source node about the current network state, to allow the application to appropriately adjust the transmission rate. In the same way, we propose a route recovery approach into the AQA-AODV protocol, which provides a mechanism to detect the link failures in a route and re-establish the connections taking into account the conditions of QoS that have been established during the previous route discovery phase.

The Network Simulation Environment (NOSE) has the capability to virtually create complex networks including different types of operation systems very cost-efficient on a single computer.

The program Virtual Network Simulator for Web 2.0 is a tool that allows the simulation of assembly and configuration of computer network projects, virtual or physical. It also simulate the sending of a package between the hots of origin and destinati

manetconfig is a graphical application implemented in Java and developed at TELECOM ParisTech. It allows the creation of multi-hop Manet environments where due to space limitations, only one-hop would appear. Different mobility models can be applied.

Enables a user to view & alter all aspects of comunications with a web site via a proxy. Primarily used for security based penetration testing of web sites, it can also be used for debugging during development. Seen as part of a hacker toolkit.
