Catch 2022: Networking 🖧 Ice Bucket Challenge 🥶

A sample topology

At the start of this exciting new year of 2022, I figured this might be a good time to introduce a new challenge:

Using Netsim-Tools, build the most complicated virtual network topology that still allows host A to ping host B

Anything goes — and if you have to extend the tooling to make things work, even better. Varying latency and occasional packet loss are acceptable, but there needs to be at least 1 ping reply being delivered to A.

For example, how about multi-vendor EVPN-VXLAN over SRv6 with MACsec encryption and Traffic Engineering?

Happy 2022 networking everyone! 🎆
