Virtual Network Topologies

Instead of simulating flat networks, Honeyd supports the creation of virtual routing topologies.

Simple addition to configuration:

route entry 10.0.0.1
route 10.0.0.1 link 10.2.0.0/24
route 10.0.0.1 add net 10.3.0.0/16 10.3.0.1 latency 8ms loss 1.5
route 10.3.0.1 link 10.3.0.0/24
route 10.3.0.1 add net 10.3.1.0/24 10.3.1.1 latency 7ms loss 0.5
route 10.3.1.1 link 10.3.1.0/24

With packet delay and loss it's possible to create network topology that seems real:

traceroute to 10.3.1.11 (10.3.1.11), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  10.0.0.1  0.929 ms  0.384 ms  1.661 ms
 2  10.3.0.1  26.491 ms  31.137 ms  31.70 ms
 3  10.3.1.1  37.242 ms  39.833 ms  39.872 ms
 4  10.3.1.11  54.371 ms  45.389 ms  54.928 ms
