NetSquid snippets are extensions for NetSquid contributed by users and developers. They are wholly maintained by their contributors, and NetSquid developers take no responsibility for their stability, correctness, etc.
Snippets are intended to be shared with others, and we encourage contributors to choose for an open source license. We also list snippets that are not publicly available, including a link to the private git repository in this case — please contact the snippet maintainer for access.
For snippets that can be installed using the Python package installer pip an install command is also listed.
Please use the user forum to contact us if you want to add a snippet to this online collection. A snippet template, including instructions, is available to get you started.
