Marionnet is built on other free software. Here are the main pieces.

What runs the virtual network

• GNU/Linux: the system of the host computer and of every virtual machine.
• User Mode Linux: a Linux kernel running as an ordinary process; every machine and every router in Marionnet is one.
• VDE (Virtual Distributed Ethernet): the cables, the hubs, the switches and the link defects.
• Graphviz: the automatic drawing of the network.

What Marionnet is written with

• OCaml: Marionnet’s language, with dune to build it and opam to install the toolchain.
• camlp4: the syntax extensions the code uses.
• GTK and lablgtk3: the graphical interface.
• ocamlbricks: the OCaml library written for Marionnet.
• GCC: the C compiler, for the few parts written in C and for the kernel of the virtual machines.
