# CORE Documentation
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
CORE (Common Open Research Emulator) is a tool for building virtual networks. As an emulator, CORE builds a
|
|
representation of a real computer network that runs in real time, as opposed to simulation, where abstract models are
|
|
used. The live-running emulation can be connected to physical networks and routers. It provides an environment for
|
|
running real applications and protocols, taking advantage of tools provided by the Linux operating system.
|
|
|
|
CORE is typically used for network and protocol research, demonstrations, application and platform testing, evaluating
|
|
networking scenarios, security studies, and increasing the size of physical test networks.
