- Description
- The objective of this paper is to assess the current state of Container-Based Emulator implementations on the Linux platform. Through a nar-rative overview, a selection of open source Container-Based emulators are analysed to collect information regarding the technologies used to construct them to assess the current state of this emerging technology. Container-Based Emulators allows the creation of small emulated net-works on commodity hardware through the use of kernel level virtualiza-tion techniques, also referred to as containerisation. Container-Based Emulators act as a management tool to control containers and the ap-plications that execute within them. The ability of Container Based Emu-lators to create repeatable and controllable test networks makes it ideal for use as training and experimentation tools in the information security and network management fields. Due to the ease of use and low hard-ware requirements, the tools present a low cost alternative to other forms of network experimentation platforms. Through a review of cur-rent literature and source code, the current state of Container-Based Emulators is assessed.
