Virtual-Network-Forwarding

A Java implementation of a learning switch that optimally forwards packets based on link layer headers and a router that:

• generates Internet Control Messaging Protocol (ICMP) messages when error conditions occur;
• populates the ARP cache by generating and consuming Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages;
• and builds a routing table using distance vector routing via a Routing Information Protocol v2 (RIPv2) implementation.
