AFAIK the only real router emulator *was* dynamips. I don't think there's any Dev going on dynamips now. Leave aside open flow support.
Also, I haven't heard of open flow supported routers going mainstream. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. I don't see why your people seem so keen on using a router. Routers are now called l3 switches. Your best route will be to use Stanford software reference switch. Use the l3_learning.py script in pox, modify it to do more than just ARP replies. that switch can then act as a router. Well, maybe an emulator it's better! But I don't know if exist enough support in that sense! I explain what I have to do. I have to realize a sort of firewall using OF. So, I wanna block some ip addresses and allow other. I've done it with POX, and I've tested my code with Mininet. When I presented them my work they told me ok, but we don't want use switches in our network! We have to use routers (I think for security reason). So I need something to test what I'm doing and put routers inside my virtual network. I hope I was clearer than before 2013/6/20 Philip Wette <we...@mail.upb.de> > Hi, > > do you want to simulate or emulate?
