 ####Abstract####
 This page shows how to use this framework in order to connect many machines (LwCVM, VPCS, Virtual machine and all GNS3 compatible machines) to each other through switches and routers.
+####Requirements####
+This framework can work under boath Linux and Windows. In order to use it you need the following tools:
+Eclipse IDE with C/C++ plugin
+Mingw (Windows)/g++ compiler (Linux)
+Pcap lib (Windows)/Winpcap (Linux)
+pthread library

Abstract

This page shows how to use this framework in order to connect many machines (LwCVM, VPCS, Virtual machine and all GNS3 compatible machines) to each other through switches and routers.

How connect virtual machine: VirtualBox, Qemu ...

In order to connect a Virtual Machine, use the class PCAPHost that accept as argument the network card name. Then, connect this last to a network switch "NESwitch"
code example:
PCAPHost vm1= new PCAPHost("\Device\NPF_{1F24E6B3-ACE3-4465-A1E6-D399CFCE1AC2}");
Rq:
To get all the network card names (Real or virtual), use the method PCAPHost::getAllDrivers() that returns pcap_if_t see pcap lib
