Will it be able to include Cisco Nexus platform?

Here are the answers to your questions:



We have a new release scheduled for early January, version 0.8.4.

Then another one which should be a major rewrite of GNS3 to allow us to include new emulators like IOU etc. which is planned for next summer.



The Etherswitch module does these features but I want something simpler and that we can upgrade (like in PT).



19% of the respondents to our survey said they want to see Huawer routers in GNS3. Please note that it is already possible to link GNS3 devices with eNSP (Huawei simulator) routers but we want an easier integration however this is not gonna be our priority.



Yes, we are gonna have some busy months ;) Thanks for the labs, I'll check that out.



This is one solution but I would prefer something native however Windows is the main issue to that solution. So yes you are right, we could have something that communicate to a VirtualBox which host IOU. Also, it is interesting to node that since VirtualBox 4.2, VLAN tagging is supported, that could be used in our future IOU support.



Ostinato is very exciting project, we could have something like an Ostinato node in GNS3 that inject traffic into virtual networks. So yes I am really interested by your idea, the main thing that Ostinato should support are UDP tunnels, this shouldn't be a problem to implement.



This is true, not too many people donate to free projects, however we really like GNS3 to be open source and free. We are thinking of alternative ways to raise money. Our best idea is to make official training material to study certs using GNS3 to practice, it wouldn't be expensive and would help us a lot. Anyway, thanks for your ideas :)



Same as with XR4U, there is something called Titanium which simulate Nexus but I really don't know if this could be used in GNS3 one day.

Thanks Jeremy for taking the ideas from users who actually use and make results from the very helpfull tool (GNS3).

Looking forward for better as per survey summary

For "windows-labs" (e.g. for MS system certifications) it would be awesome if there would be easy to config routers available to create "simple" labs (Multiple subnets) without using cisco emulation.


Surely it would be very welcome, this implementation to assist in the MS certifications.

This survey ended too quickly. When I read the mail inviting me to respond to this survey, it was already ended.
Sorry.

Hi,



Sorry to hear that. The survey has been available for a full week. Next time we would do 2.

You can leave your comments about GNS3 here if you want.

Thanks,

I just want to say I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi GNS3'S

I missed the survey, but will like to see even packet tracer switching (L2, L3) with some advance feature will be highly appreciated and loopback support for linux, i don't know if possible.

GNS3 remains my #1 application for studies and fun. Thanks Guys for all your hardwork!!!!.

How extensive will the new version be? Is it primarily a repackaging of the existing interface with new features and options added, or will it be a full blown rewrite of entire GNS3 system? If so, what might that entail in comparison to the existing system.

Thanks,
Jason

The look and feel of GNS3 will mostly stay the same. Most of the changes are gonna be at the code level. Users should expect to get better error reporting, reliability, new features, new devices etc.
