PSimulator 3?

[nns...@gmail.com]

Hi! I really love your psimulator!!! Really, I didn't find anything so easy to use, and useful to learn about networing. Cisco's solution, and GNS3, and many others are just too CISCO oriented and also too difficult to setup when you just have to understand how subnetting, routing and linux network works.
Unfortunately, It has some problem with java8, and must be installed java7 to make it work
This project should grow, because it deserve! When will be a 3rd version? I don't think i'm the only waiting ;)
As a linux admin, I would really love to work with nmcli/nmtui and firewall-cmd.. would be awesome having them together with iptables as some distro use one, some use the other.
It would be not bad to pack both backend and frontend together, just making them start from the GUI, maybe allowing to save profiles.
Don't leave this great project :)

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! I am wery happy that the program is used by someone after almoast three years from "release".

From my point of view it is a small miracle that the program still works and I do not know about any major issues that would block usage of this program.

I would like to explain why backend and frontend are separated. This project was made as a master's degree thesis by group of four people and this separation was a price for independence on other parts of this project. You are right that is is a bit impractical :).

We never planned whird version of this program. The idea was that other students of Czech Technical University in Prague would continue on this project and that they will bring their own invetions into. To be honest I am not in touch with my thesis leader since I left the school...

I visited google code pages of PSImulator project and I found out that two students continued on this project and there is version 2.5 which brings some new features:
https://code.google.com/p/psimulator/

@Vaclav, @Michal, could you tell us about this new version? Is there any website where we could find more about, maybe download the program or source code?

Thak you.

With regards,
Martin

P.s. Sorry for this super slow reaction ;-)

Hello,

sorry for a really really late response. I hope you're still interested
in psimulator. For more than two last years i've been busy with my
university study so I didn't have time for further development. One
younger student continued our work and enhanced psimulator with spanning
tree protocol support, but I haven't seen any public releases or the
source code.

I've recently noticed that interest in psimulator still exists, so I
decided to try to resurrect it from dust. I've created a brand new
repository for in on github - see
https://github.com/lager1/psimulator2.5. It still needs some work, but I
hope it's gonna get some attention and maybe some interested developers.

I've found out that one guy forked the original source and made it work
with java8. I've contacted him, so maybe he could adapt the changes he
made in this new repository.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me back.

regards,
Vaclav

This project is very interesting and, still today, doesn't exist any alternative. It happens very often that you need a test environment without particular routers or complex networks, just "what happen if I...". Also, for everyone studying for any linux certification, this is very useful. As you see I still remember clearly your program, And I still hope in this next version. Good luck! :)
