Network Simulation

• OMNeT++: "is a public-source, component-based, modular and open-architecture simulation environment with strong GUI support and an embeddable simulation kernel."
• OverSim overlay simulation framework, based on OMNeT++
• J-Sim "is a component-based, compositional simulation environment"
• Extend (used by Univ. of Kansas)
• SimReal
• Extensible and High-Fidelity TCP/IP Network Simulators
• ns
• GoldSim: "hybrid simulator that simultaneously simulates both continuous and discrete processes"
• "Why we still don't know how to simulate networks" (M. Ammar, 2005)
