  1. netshoot

    a Docker + Kubernetes network trouble-shooting swiss-army container

    First off, it seems like getting tcpdump or Wireshark to capture from the container network and dumping to a file will take some extra steps. (A lot of blog posts seem to recommend this Github project - https://github.com/nicolaka/netshoot)

  3. containerlab

    container-based networking labs

    I also saw there's this Github project from Nokia - https://github.com/srl-labs/containerlab - which seems like a framework for setting up complex container-based network labs. However, I'm not sure if this is overkill for my use-case - also, it seems like it's geared towards network gurus, not those who are just looking to learn the basics of simple network protocols.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
