Re: Idle-max value in Dynamips

Expect lots of problems with INE's .net. It's not that it is inherently bad
or anything, it's just that their topology suffers badly in dynamips. You
will run into to all of the usual dynamips problems that don't exist on the
real gear. Things will get worse as you start complicating the config.

Narbik's workbooks are top notch and will give you a whole lot more bang for
the buck as far as dynamips is considered. 95% of his labs only involve 3 -
5 routers and can use the default dynamips layer 2 switches.

That's my 2 cents.
