</tt><tt>The performance penalty should not be much noticeable,
especially if you are working on a recent enough Apple
workstation.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>As a side note, Netkit is not much indicated to accomplish
performance measurements, because the timing of events highly
depends on the host OS scheduler, that can arbitrarily choose how
much CPU is assigned to each virtual machine during each time
quantum. Hence, given that timings inside Netkit should not be
deemed realistic, running experiments in a twice virtualized
environment should really not make any difference.</tt><tt><br>

Hi Daniele,</tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<tt><br>
</tt><tt>
netkit basically manages user-mode linux which definitely
requires a linux host.</tt><tt><br>

</tt>
<tt><br>
</tt><tt>
Still you could manage to run netkit by using a virtual
linux host.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>
Install an ubuntu in e.g. virtualbox and go from there.</tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<tt><br>

Best,</tt><tt><br>
