Abstract

This paper presents a software system that allows for multiple virtual machines connected by a network simulator to be utilized as an integrated network testbed. The system is built upon popular network simulator ns-3 and is capable of synchronizing user-supplied commands across different virtual machine instances. Performance evaluations are given to estimate limits of applicability of the system.
