+GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex
+networks. To allow complete simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with:
+ * Dynamips, the core program that allows Cisco IOS emulation.
+ * Dynagen, a text-based front-end for Dynamips.
+ * Pemu, a Cisco PIX firewall emulator based on Qemu.
+
+GNS3 is an excellent complementary tool to real labs for Cisco network
+engineers, administrators and people wanting to pass certifications such
+as CCNA, CCNP, CCIP or CCIE. It can also be used to experiment features
+of Cisco IOS or to check configurations that need to be deployed later on
+real routers.
+
+Features overview
+ * Design of high quality and complex network topologies.
+ * Emulation of many Cisco router platforms and PIX firewalls.
+ * Simulation of simple Ethernet, ATM and Frame Relay switches.
+ * Connection of the simulated network to the real world!
+ * Packet capture using Wireshark.
+
+Important notice: users have to provide their own Cisco IOS to use with GNS3.
+
+This requires qt4, sip, and PyQT from SlackBuilds.org.
