Network Simulator
Recently Updated
Concept
A Rust-based network simulator that models packet-level behavior for routing protocols. It provides a middle ground between pure algorithmic analysis (like C-BGP) and full emulation (like Containerlab) — larger scale and smaller footprint than emulation, higher fidelity than algorithmic simulation. Used for smoke testing and design validation of network configurations.
Current state: v1.7 shipped. Planning v1.8. Future Roadmap Ideas: See .planning/FUTURE_IDEAS.md for long-term innovation and technical debt backlog.
Validate network configurations at scale with protocol-level fidelity before deploying to real infrastructure.
