VNS is the easiest way to give students hands-on experience with networking internals. With VNS, students write software that interacts with their own topology of routers and servers using real-world services and protocols.
VNS is an open-source project available free of charge to students, instructors, and researchers. It is supported by staff and students at Stanford University. Assignments include a variety of tools, including student stub code, grading scripts, and reference solutions. With assignments possible in any language that supports standard sockets, VNS projects can be as small or as large as your students’ imaginations.
Please see the VNS Homepage for more information about VNS.
This repository contains the VNS simulator, VNS web interface, and a command-line client for altering and interacting with topologies while they are running.
Instructions for installing and running your own VNS simulator are not yet available. If you are interested, please contact David Underhill.
