Network Simulation (1) • Suppose you devise a great protocol. How do you show that it’s great? - Experiment - Mathematical model - graph theory - Simulation - programming (e.g., C++ or NS2)
Network Simulation (3) • Platform: - hardware , software, or hybrid • Developer: - commercial or in-house • Source code: - openor close • Paradigm: -time-dependent/non-time-dependent; time-driven/event-driven
Network Simulation (4) • simulation performance - execution speed - scalability - fidelity - cost • Network Layer - free: NS2, GloMoSim - commercial: Opnet , QualNet

NS2 • Network Simulator (Version 2) - widely known as NS2 - event driven simulation tool - wired / wireless network, protocols (e.g. routing algorithms, TCP, UDP)
Event-Driven Simulation (1) • Events a, b, and c are executed in order • - example program • 1 initialize {system states} • 2 initialize {list of events} • 3 while {state != finalState} % or while {this.event != Null} • 4 expunge the previous event from list of events; • 5 set SimClock := time of current event; • 6 execute this.event • 7 end while
Event-Driven Simulation (2) • Run by a set of events (schedule list) • Time gap between two events is not fixed • Simulation advance from one event to another • Event may induce one or more events new event is usually inserted into the list
Event-Driven Simulation (3) • Gathering information right after every event execution • Simulation finishes - at a pre-specified time - when there is no more event
A Simulation Example: A Single-Channel Queuing System • Point-to-point wired communication link - a one-way communication
Two-event • Arrival: • - a packet arrival event • Complete: • - a successful packet transmission event
Example of Two-event P1 3 P2 5 P3 6 P1 0 P2 2 P3 4
NS2 Architecture (1) TCL Otcl C++
NS2 Architecture (2) • two key languages • C++ - defines the internal mechanism of the simulation Objects • Otcl (Object-oriented Tool Command Language ) - sets up simulation scenarios • Linked together using TclCL
NS2: C++ and OTcl Composition • Two language architecture: C++ and OTcl • C++ - compiler - fast to run (run on machine codes) - slow to change (need compilation) • OTcl - interpreter - slow to run; fast to change • Why two languages? C++ coding styles
Three C++ Coding Styles - Styles (1) • Compile and create “prog.exe” - recompile for every minor changes (e.g., number of nodes, link speed)
Three C++ Coding Styles - Styles (2) • C++ coding with input arguments - use parameters input argument - e.g., “prog <num_node> <link_speed>” - what if there are too many parameters?
Three C++ Coding Styles - Styles (3) • C++ coding with input files - put input parameters in a configuration file - no need to change C++ code - one input argument—the filename - NS2 style!! - configuration file is called “Tcl Simulation script”
NS2 process • Start from Tcl simulation script • For each line: - execution path: Tcl -> Otcl -> C++ - returning path: C++ -> OTcl -> Tcl (next line)
