Description of the job

Airbus Defence and Space (Elancourt) is looking for an intern for a 5-6 month internship.

The objective is to supply an easily deployable software application which can be used to simulate an original constrained network. On a platform, it is common to have to simulate a network with a specific throughput, latency and/or jitter. To do this, a tool which is easily accessible to integrators is necessary. Currently, there is a tool in existence. However, it is not easy to use and could be reworked to exploit more of the Linux kernel's potential.

This internship will start on 1st February 2017 (subject to some flexibility).
