+Dynamips is a software that emulates Cisco IOS on a traditional PC.
+
+It has been created by Christophe Fillot who started his work in August 2005.
+
+The last official release of Dynamips supports Cisco 7200, 3600 series
+(3620, 3640 and 3660), 3700 series (3725, 3745), 2600 series (2610 to 2650XM, 2691)
+and 1700 series.
+Please note that you must provide your own IOS images compatible with the Cisco hardware emulated by Dynamips.
+
+GNS3 is based on Dynamips and Dynagen (a text-based front-end for Dynamips) to create a complete virtual Cisco
+network, adding many additional features and most importantly making it easy to create, change and save your network topologies.
+
+Unfortunately, Dynamips is no longer officially maintained, this is why we have chosen to make – with the precious
+help of contributors – an unofficial version of Dynamips called dynamips-community that brings many improvements.
+We encourage contributions and the code repository is accessible on GitHub.
