  • Ns3 (Network Simulator 3).
  • OPNET.
  • OMNeT++.
  • NetSim.

NS2 (Network Simulator 2):

  • It is also a discrete event simulator that provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and also multicast protocols over wired and wireless networks.
  • Also It use C++ and also OTcl languages.
  • Sample ns2 code. In which there are also four different nodes are available and two different routers.

NS3 (Network Simulator 3):


    

  • Ns3 uses C++ and also Python languages for simulating the script.
    • 

  • C++ used for implementation of simulation and also core model. Ns-3 is built as a library which may be statically or dynamically linked to a C++ main program.
    • 

  • Python: C++ wrapped by Python. Python programs also to import an “ns3” module
    • 

  • Sample code for ns3.
    • 




int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
LogComponentEnable ("UdpEchoClientApplication",
LOG_LEVEL_INFO);
LogComponentEnable ("UdpEchoServerApplication",
LOG_LEVEL_INFO);
RandomVariable::UseGlobalSeed (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8);
NodeContainer nodes; nodes.Create (2);
PointToPointHelper pointToPoint;
pointToPoint.SetDeviceAttribute("DataRate",StringValue("5Mbps”));
pointToPoint.SetChannelAttribute ("Delay", StringValue ("2ms"));
NetDeviceContainer devices;
devices = pointToPoint.Install (nodes);
InternetStackHelper stack; stack.Install (nodes);
Ipv4AddressHelper address;
address.SetBase ("10.1.1.0", "255.255.255.0");
Ipv4InterfaceContainer interfaces = address.Assign (devices);
UdpEchoServerHelper echoServer (9);
ApplicationContainer serverApps = echoServer.Install (nodes.Get(1));
serverApps.Start (Seconds (1.0));
serverApps.Stop (Seconds (10.0));
UdpEchoClientHelper echoClient (interfaces.GetAddress (1), 9);
echoClient.SetAttribute ("MaxPackets", UintegerValue (1));
echoClient.SetAttribute ("Interval", TimeValue (Seconds (1.)));
echoClient.SetAttribute ("PacketSize", UintegerValue (1024));
ApplicationContainer clientApps = echoClient.Install (nodes.Get(0));
clientApps.Start (Seconds (2.0)); clientApps.Stop (Seconds (10.0));
Simulator::Run (); Simulator::Destroy (); return 0;}






OMNeT++:


    

  • It is a component-based, modular and also open architecture discrete event simulator framework.
    • 

  • The most common use of OMNeT++ is also for simulation of computer networks, but it is also used for queuing network simulations and other areas as well.
    • 

  • C++ is a class library, eclipse based simulation IDE is also used for designing, running and evaluating simulations.
    • 

  • Sample code for OMNeT++
    • 




#include <omnetpp.h>
class Sink: public cSimpleModule
{ Module_Class_Members(Sink, cSimpleModule, 8192);
virtual void activity(); };
Define_Module(Sink);
void Sink::activity()
{ while(1)
{ cMessage *msg = receive(); int pkt_type = msg -> kind();
if (pkt_type ==1) ev << “Received data packet\n”;
else ev << “Received voice packet\n”; delete msg;} }






OPNET:


    

  • It provides a comprehensive development environment supporting the modeling of communication networks and also distributed systems.
    • 

  • Both behavior and performance of modeled systems can also analyzed by performing discrete event simulations.
    • 

  • C is a main programming language in OPNET and also use GUI for initial configurations. The simulation scenario requires c or C++
    • 

  • Sample code for OPNET
    •

#if defined (__cplusplus)
} /* end of 'extern "C" {' */
#endif
#endif




QualNet:


    

  • It is also a commercial network simulator from Scalable Network Technologies.
    • 

  • Also It is ultra high-fidelity network simulation software that predicts wireless, wired and mixed-platform network and also networking device performance.
    • 

  • A simulator for large, heterogeneous networks and also the distributed applications that execute on such networks
    • 

  • It use C++ for implementing new protocols and also follows a procedural paradigm.
    • 





JSIM:


    

  • It’s also a java based simulator tool.
    • 

  • Java is easy to learn and easy to use. In case of any problems, source texts provided with J-Sim can be used to generate new code, compiled in the target environment, thus 100-percent compatible with JVM used
    • 

  • Use java and Tcl languages
    • 

  • Sample code for JSIM.
    •

NetSim:


    

  • It has an object-oriented system modeling and simulation (M&S) environment to support simulation and analysis of voice and data communication scenarios for High Frequency Global Communication Systems (HFGCS).
    • 

  • NetSim use java as a programming language it creates applet and linked into HTML document for viewable on the java-compatible browser.
    • 





REAL:


    

  • REAL is a simulator for studying the dynamic behavior of flow and congestion control schemes in packet switch data networks.
    • 

  • It provides users with a way of specifying such networks and to observe their behavior.
    • 

  • REAL uses C as a programming languge.
    • 

  • Sample code for REAL simulator
    •

int seq_no = 0; node = get_node_id();
sink = assigned_sink[node];
abs_advance(node_start_time[node]); now = runtime();
if(node is 1) { make_pkt(pkt); pkt->dest = sink;
pkt->data[0] = num_pkts[node]; sendm(sink, 0, pkt);
printf("Node 1 sent request packet\n");}
for (ever) { sender = recvm(&destn, &key, &pkt);
now = runtime(); switch (pkt->type){ case ACK: free(pkt);
break;
case INT: free(pkt); break;
