Interknot-game
From Hackerspace Brussels
what[edit]
a little game, to learn about routing, peering and all that jazz;
how[edit]
each player (or team) will manage one router, and will play a color on the adapted 'monopoly' board.
after an intial setup & explanation of the basics of IP-networks & packet forwarding (routing), the game starts
each player gets 1000 credits to start the game
the media-tycoon (aka 'bank') keeps the rest of the money in the bank
will connect 2 devices to the existing network; these devices will initiate IP-traffic to each other & count the received packets,
upon which the player directly connected to the receiving node will earn payment in hard monopoly cash -- so better get this traffic routed;
