D.N.S. - aka Debian Network Simulator - is a Virtual Machine prepared to run as a guest in VirtualBox to emulate complex networks.
It is based on Debian Jessie and is built around the well known GNS3 Project.

Thanks to D.N.S. you can emulate Cisco and Juniper devices, as well as different kind of servers, to build complex networks for testing purposes or to have an huge help to study for a certifications like CCNA, CCNP, JNCIA and so on.

The goal of the project is to provide an easy to use environment to build a virtual laboratory with GNS3 even without be familiar with GNU/Linux and configurations.

So, if you are studying for a certification and/or if you want to build your own laboratory to simulate Cisco, Juniper devices and - in general - complex network topologies, you will find in D.N.S. a good friend :D

The first public release has been published on Sunday, 9th of February 2014.
