# Dependencies

 * linux (>= 3.16 for all features or >= 3.13 for basic features)

 * golang (>= 1.5)

 * lxd

# Kernel

The simulation is intended to run inside nested unprivileged LXC

containers. As a result, a kernel with full support for unprivileged

containers is required, that is any kernel >= 3.13 with all the options

required by LXC enabled (see lxc-checkconfig).

Additionally, unprivileged qdisc operations requires a >= 3.16 kernel to

work, so if you want to get the simulated latencies and speeds, you need

to run a very recent kernel.

# Starting the whole thing

This tool is meant to be run on a machine or inside a container on which

a LXD daemon is running.

First build it with:

 - go get -v -x github.com/nsec/the-internet

Creating an Internet simulation is basically as simple as:

 - the-internet create \

 - the-internet start

Generate an html/js map of your Internet with:

 - the-internet generate-map \

You can stop the simulation with:

 - the-internet stop

Or create a new one by calling the start command again.

Finally, once you want it all off your disk, you can call:

 - the-internet destroy
