#77: Jeremy explains the GNS3 2.2 Architecture

How does the GNS3 work? Jeremy (creator of GNS3) explains the GNS3 architecture. Note: The Server component is also called the Compute Server or Compute. GNS3 consists of four parts: - the user interface or GUI (gns3-gui or gns3-web projects) - the controller (gns3-server project) - the compute server (part of the gns3-server project) - the emulators (Qemu, Dynamips, VirtualBox…) The controller pilots everything, it manages the state of each project. Only one controller should run. The GUI displays a topology representing a project on a canvas and allow to perform actions on given project, sending API requests to the controller. The compute controls emulators to run nodes. A compute that is on the same server as the controller is the same process. The compute usually starts an emulator instance for each node.
