Introduction • Network Simulator (NS)
• Discrete event network simulator • Implements
• Transport layer protocols such as TCP ( reno, tahoe, vegas, sack) and UPD
• Router queue management mechanism such as Drop Tail, RED • Routing algorithms such as Dijkstra and Ad-hoc Routing (DSDV, DSR,
AODV, TORA) • MAC layer protocols (802.11, 802.3, TDMA) • Sensor Network (diffusion, gaf), Satellite protocols, and many others • Traffic source behavior such as FTP, Telnet, Web, CBR and VBR
• NS versions: • NS-1, NS-2, NS-3

Introduction • NS-1:
• LNBL Simulator tool • Developed by the network research group at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (1989). • Derived from REAL simulator • Simulation description language: TCL

Introduction • NS-2:
• Object oriented (OTcl instead of TCL) • Built in C++ and provides a simulation interface through OTcl • Developed by UC Berkeley
• Difficult for the first time user • Few user friendly manuals • Needs scripting language, queuing theory and modeling techniques
knowledge • Complaint about inconsistent results • BUGs!!!

Introduction • NS-3:
• Maintaining backward compatibility with ns-2? (2005) • YANS (Yet Another Network Simulator) -> NS-3 base • NS-3.1 (2008) , NS-3.11(2011) • Built in C++ and Phyton • Make it simpler • No support for some protocols which were supported in ns-2

Objects Network Setup
Modules Event
Scheduler Objects
• The event scheduler and the basic network component objects in the data path are written and compiled using C++.
• To use NS, you program in OTcl script language

Plumbing Network Setup: • Creating possible data paths among network objects. • The power of NS comes from plumbing.
Event is a packet ID that is unique for a packet • scheduled time • the pointer to an object that handles the event. An event scheduler • keeps track of simulation time • fires all the events in the event queue
