Welcome to Virtual PC Simulator, Ver 0.8.
VPCS is free software, distributed under the terms of the "BSD" licence.
Source code and license can be found at vpcs.sf.net.
For more information, please visit wiki.freecode.com.cn.
The VPCS can simulate up to 9 PCs. You can ping/traceroute them, or
ping/traceroute the other hosts/routers from the VPCS when you study the Cisco
routers in the dynamips. VPCS is not the traditional PC, it is just a program
running on the Linux, Windows or OS X(need more testing), and only few network
commands can be used in it. But VPCS can give you a big hand when you study
the Cisco devices in the Dynamips. VPCS can replace the routers or VMware boxes
which are used as PCs in the dynamips network.
Now, VPCS can be run in udp or ether mode. In the udp mode, VPCS sends or
receives the packets via udp. In the ether mode, via /dev/tap, not support
on the Windows.
When VPCS started, it listens the ports from 20000 to 20008 and waits the
dynamips to connect, and sends the packets to the ports from 30000 to 30008 which
should be listened by the dynamips.
VPCS will look for the file named 'startup.vpc' in the current directory, and
execute the commands in it if you are not set the startup file from the command
line. All the commands in the startup file are the internal commands of the VPCS.
The line started with '#' or '!' will be discarded.
usage: vpcs [OPTIONS] [FILENAME]
OPTIONS:
-h print this help then exit
-v print version information then exit
-i num number of vpc instances to start (default is 9)
-p port run as a daemon listening on the tcp port
-m num start byte of ether address, default from 0
[-r] FILENAME load and execute script file FILENAME
-e tap mode, using /dev/tapx by default (linux only)
[-u] udp mode, default
udp mode options:
-s port local udp base port, default from 20000
-c port remote udp base port (dynamips udp port), default from 30000
-t ip remote host IP, default 127.0.0.1
tap mode options:
-d device device name, works only when -i is set to 1
hypervisor mode option:
-H port run as the hypervisor listening on the tcp port
If no FILENAME specified, vpcs will read and execute the file named
startup.vpc if it exists in the current directory.
NOTE:
1. The cygwin1.dll used by VPCS maybe conflicted with other version. Please
keep the latest cygwin1.dll in your system.
2. Set telnet LINEMODE to 'character at a time' while running as the daemon
'telnet> mode character'

History:
0.8 Support IPv6 fragmentation
Support DNS AAAA record
Add an option to disable the relay function from the command line
0.6 bugfix: use MAC of gateway while replying in the background
bugfix: command with more than 20 arguments will cause core dump
check mtu when receiving the packet, reply the packet is too big
drop 'ip mtu', add 'set mtu'
dump relay packets to file
reformat help text
renew the dhcp4 lease automatically
support ip fragmentation
zero, loopback and broadcast address are invalid now
0.5b2 fix: using getenv+access to the real path of VPCS.
patch for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD from Daniel Lintott
flush out the output buffer while running 'echo ...'
increase the maxinum number of tcp sessions and decrease tcp keep alive time
fix: arp table, the source ether address is not saved
0.5b1 support for a specified number of vpc instances (between 1 and 9)
support for TAP device name (only with 1 VPC instance)
support default filename (startup.vpc) for load & save commands.
0.5b0 support hypervisor mode
0.4b2 support DNS
support 'dump' packets
add 'rlogin' command to connect the remote host
0.4a support daemon mode
0.3 under BSD license
0.20a support IPv6 linklocal, stateless autoconfiguration
new 'ping' with many optins, and implement the tcp state machine
support load/save the VPCS configuration
support save/load the command history automatically
0.16a Support IPv6
0.15a Add configure the host ip using dhcp
0.14g Fix the traceroute loop running bug
0.14f Fix the traceroute TTL bug
0.14e Fix the bug, parse 'echo' and 'traceroute' command line error.
0.14d Fix the bug which reply the arp request with broadcast address as
the source MAC address.
