ns-2 Description

A free and discrete event simulator targeted at networking research ns-2 provides substantial support for simulation of routing, TCP, multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks. ns-2 is written in C++ and an Object oriented version of Tcl called OTcl. ns-2 is designed to run from on most UNIX based operating systems. It is possible to run ns-2 on Windows machines using Cygwin. If you don't have a UNIX install, you can also use a virtual linux machine and run that under Windows. VMWare has a free VMWare Player that allows you to download linux systems like Ubuntu and run them on your computer. You will need to make sure you have standard development packages like 'make' and 'gcc'. NOTE: Detailed instructions on how to install ns-2 can be found HERE.
