A very nice network emulator for PC.


Common Open Research Emulator is a very good networking emulator for Linux machines. This allows a user to create a network layout with IP addresses and see it working. This is very interesting software.

Download the source code from Github.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop][~/Documents/core]
└──╼ $git clone https://github.com/coreemu/core.git

Then begin the installation like this.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop]─[~/Documents/core]
└──╼ $cd core

┌─[jason@jason-desktop]─[~/Documents/core]
└──╼ $sudo ./install.sh

After the installation has completed, the user may start the required daemon and then run the actual network emulator.

┌─[][jason@jason-desktop][~]
└──╼ $sudo core-daemon &&

Then start the GUI like this.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop][~]
└──╼ $core-gui
This is what it should look like when running.
This is what it should look like when running.

Go to File and open a sample file and click the green Run arrow to see how it works. This is a fun program to create networks with.
