James: I've been resisting GNS3 for the longest time, because I like real equipment and to get my hands a little dirty. But for the purpose of simulation, GNS3 helped me identify a BGP issue last week. If it weren't for GNS3, I would not have been able to figure it out.
I will be using GNS3 in the future now for as much I can. Remember it is more router oriented than switch. So you can't do any fancy L3 switching...... > Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 10:05:21 -0500 > From: ja...@freedomnet.co.nz > To: nanog@nanog.org > Subject: Re: Network Simulators > > So far GNS3 has won out so far.
