Adjusting the ns-2 Emulation Mode to a Live Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The network simulator ns-2 implements both wireless networks and emulation – a feature that allows to simulate a network environment among real stations. In contrast to a discrete event simulation an emulation is affected by various system parameters. The understanding of the impact of those parameters is crucial to obtain valid results from an emulation experiment. In this paper we evaluate a modified version of the ns-2 that has been optimized for emulations. We analyze the effect of different parameter settings in various experiments and compare the results with measurements in a live network.

Network Emulation in the Vint/NS Simulator
Employing an emulation capability in network simulation provides the ability for real-world traffic to interact with a simulation. The benefits of emulation include the ability to expose experimental algorithms and protocols to live traffic loads, and to test real-world protocol implementations against repeatable interference generated in simulation. This paper describes the design and implemen...
متن کاملEmulation of Radio Access Networks to Facilitate the Development of Distributed Applications
Emulation of Radio Access Networks is a valuable tool for the development of distributed applications incorporating mobile terminals. The network simulator ns–2 provides mechanisms to route live network traffic through its simulation and thus emulate a network in real-time. However, it lacks certain core features for the emulation of networks with mobile terminals: roaming of terminals across b...
متن کاملExpanding the Ns-2 Emulation Environment with the Use of Flexible Mapping
The Berkeley’s ns-2 simulator was, for a long time, one of the most popular open-source simulation tools. Although the new tool in the ns family, the ns-3, replaced it in the above ranking, the simplicity of the ns-2, with its flexibility and ability to operate at higher levels of abstraction caused the simulator to remain in use. This paper presents our enhancements to the mapping of incoming ...
متن کاملAdvances in Network Simulation
ion Abstraction is a common approach to improving simulator performance. All simulators adopt some level of abstraction when choosing what to simulate. FlowSim was the first network simulator to make this trade-off explicit.7 Ns supports several levels of abstraction. Numerous simulation interfaces are possible, including programming in a high-level scripting language, a more traditional system...
