  2. Outline Introduction General comparison of ns-2 vs. ns-3 Model comparison of ns-2 vs. ns-3 References, links, documents

  3. Introduction1 ns-3 is a discrete event network simulator for Internet systems Targeted for research & education Community-oriented open source development Free and open source software Emphasis on layers 2-4 of the network stack Integration of open source tools/software and capability to simulate and emulate (e.g. tcpdump, Ethereal packet analysis)‏

  4. Introduction2 Can be installed on any platform e.g. desktop, server, on 32 or 64 bit architectures So far experience shows that installations are very easy (Ubuntu LTS, Fedora 9, Cygwin)‏ Installed latest release of ns-3, ns-3.2 to ITTC machines (lutetium and freestyle)‏ Planned to reuse many models in ns-2 ns-3 is not backward compatible, ns-2 scripts cannot be run in ns-3

  5. Introduction3 Customizable trace files ns-3 development so far focuses on the core feature development rather than the models No support for visualization yet, but saw bunch of threads on the subject Python bindings for ns-3 is a work in progress, and some limitations are know by developers http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/NS-3_Python_Bindings

  6. Introduction4 Roadmap can be found on the following link - http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap Releases are date driven, instead of feature or bug driven There are already papers being published - http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Papers

  7. ns-2 vs. ns-3 Comparison1 First release: 1996 vs. 2008 Based on: ns-1 & REAL simulator vs. ns-2, GTNets, YANS Architecture: OTcl & C++ vs. C++ & optional Phyton scripting Funded by: DARPA VINT,SAMAN & NSF CONSER vs. NSF CISE & INRIA Current support: Volunteers, USC ISI & Sourceforge vs. NSF, INRIA, GT, WashU & volunteers

  8. ns-2 vs. ns-3 Comparison2 Scripting: OTcl vs. Python Visualization: nam vs. ns3-viz, pyviz, nam, iNSpect ? (all under development)‏ Scalability: sequential simulations vs. distributed simulations

  9. Model Comparison: ns-2 vs. ns-3Application and Transport Ping, vat, telnet, FTP, multicast, FTP, probabilistic and trace-driven traffic gen., webcache TCP, UDP, SCTP, XCP, TFRC, RAP, RTP, Multicast: PGM, SRM, RLM, PLM Sockets-like API, P2P, traffic generator TCP stack emulation (Linux,BSD), DDCP, additional high speed TCP variants, UDP

  10.
