LIve Example Of Simulating The Clouds

simnet

I just write about simnet. What are simnets? I just want to point you to the PSARC case for indepth information. It's available on opensolaris.org in the caselog. But in short: Simnets are simulated networks. It's a mechanism to test networking protocols. And in this example we will use it exactly for this purpose. Testing networking.



Okay, let's assume you are admin of FUBAR Inc. You want to recreate your network in a box. You have offices in Hamburg, London, Singapore, New York and San Francisco. In each office you have a multi-legged router, connecting to a switch for the internal network with servers an clients, the other interfaces of the switch are connecting to the other routers. As an image says more than 1000 words i will just summarize the network with this figure.
