CNRL - Challenged Network Research Lab

You need a PC with:

Add our repository to your repository list and install Virtualbricks; see: http://cnrl.deis.unibo.it/repo.php

Add the kvm group to the host machine (it could already be present):

 sudo addgroup kvm

Add virtualbricks's user(s) to the kvm group (replace USERNAME with your user name). This is necessary to take advantage of VT :

 sudo adduser USERNAME kvm

Download the VB base image required by your VB project(s), common to all VMs (e.g. Debian 11b):

download the base image from http://cnrl.deis.unibo.it/VB_images.php and save it in a local directory, e.g. VB_images, (note that the compressed file is large, about 2GB!)
decompress it (e.g. tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz; tip:keep the compressed version as a backup).

Import the VB project (few MB), a file including the tetstbed layout and VM differential images:

download the preferred VB project file (e.g the latest DTN2hops) from http://cnrl.deis.unibo.it/vb_projects.php (few MBs) and save them in a local directory, e.g. VB_projects
from the VB menu "file" select "import project" and choose the VB project file; press enter at the first request; at the second, associate the base image name to the corresponding decompressed file on your hard disk (e.g. debian11b.cow).

Create a control network to log into the VMs via ssh from the host; see: http://cnrl.deis.unibo.it/control_network_en.php
