There was a problem hiding this comment.
Just a thought: the plugin probably does not work with old releases, and we're enforcing 0.75.0 right now.

Summary
This PR adds the
multiserverplugin to distribute a single Netlab topology across multiple physical servers.Sadly for now containerlab-provider only.
Key Details
netsim/extra/multiserver/and doesn't modify any core Netlab engine logic.clab.ymlandnetlab.snapshot.pickle.sudo netlab up --snapshot -vvwithout needing custom CLI options.For the test-files I am not sure if they make any sense. But they show at least it does not interfere with the normal netlab workflow.
Explanations on how it works can be found in
docs/plugins/multiserver.md.
