Hi I was wondering if there has been any progress on GEM5 Networking after this post : http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00371.html . My idea is to connect GEM5's ethertap device (which I believe is a tap interface ?) with a tap device inside ns-3. I need to take care of synchronisation between the ns3 and GEM5 timing models, but I would like to know if I am on the right track. Also, is there someone here who knows this subsystem well ?
