GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex
networks.

To allow complete simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with :

* Dynamips, the core program that allows Cisco IOS emulation.
* Dynagen, a text-based front-end for Dynamips.
* Pemu, a Cisco PIX firewall emulator based on Qemu.

GNS3 is an excellent complementary tool to real labs for Cisco network
engineers, administrators and people wanting to pass certifications such as
CCNA, CCNP, CCIP or CCIE.

It can also be used to experiment features of Cisco IOS or to check
configurations that need to be deployed later on real routers.
