Regrettably, the latest additions of functionality to Infix have also incresed the size of the ramdisk. We expect it to go down slightly before v1.0, but considering we'll add Frr before then it's better to be realistic of our needs when run in GNS3. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Infix is an embedded Linux Network Operating System (NOS) based on Buildroot, Finit, and ifupdown-ng.
Login with user 'root', no password by default on plain builds. See the online
helpcommand for an introduction to the system.

See the aarch64 specific documentation for more information.
amd64
Primarily intended to be run under QEMU for development & test as well as evaluation, demo and training purposes, e.g. using GNS3.
QEMU
A virtualized instance can easily be launched from a Linux system, with
Qemu installed, by issuing make run.
Some settings, e.g. networking, can be configured via make menuconfig
under External options -> QEMU virtualization.
GNS3
Download the latest build of amd64, unpack in a dedicated directory
and use "Import Appliance" to install the .gns3a file into GNS3.
Infix will show up in the "Router" category, it has 10 interfaces
available by default for use as switch ports or routing.
