In this paper we present the analysis and performance evaluation of ns2 to facilitate the simulation and upcoming wired&wireless networks. We have briefly explained in the table the comparison between widely used network simulators. Here we have presented the framework for ns2 to facilitate the simulation and also explained the implementation steps. We have shown the performance evaluation matrix. We have also shown the steps to bring improvement in the specified factors affecting the performance of network.

Abstract


In this paper we present the analysis and performance evaluation of ns2 to facilitate the simulation and upcoming wired&wireless networks. We have briefly explained in the table the comparison between widely used network simulators. Here we have presented the framework for ns2 to facilitate the simulation and also explained the implementation steps. We have shown the performance evaluation matrix. We have also shown the steps to bring improvement in the specified factors affecting the performance of network.
