What is Block-Oriented Network Simulator (BONeS) 🦴? (opens in new tab)

📜 Before many modern networking tools existed, engineers were already using a graphical software environment called Block-Oriented Network Simulator (BONeS) – for the modeling and discrete-event simulation of communication systems and computer networks. Originally developed by COMDISCO Systems, it provided an intuitive, block-based approach to simulating complex network topologies and protocols. 🔶 🖧 Graphical / Visual-Based Approach Instead of describing a network entirely through code, syste...
