SPINNET

Introduction

SPINNET is a graphical front-end for C-BGP. SPINNET allows to visualize C-BGP network models and access all the C-BGP model parameters. SPINNET also makes easier the construction of a real networks model by providing a large number of equipment data parsers. SPINNET interacts with C-BGP instances through C-BGP's Java Native Interface.
