Open Source Linux Network Simulators

NS2 Linux is dedicated to improve the Network Simulator (NS-2) to match Linux performance. Planned contents include: an NS-2 module that runs Linux congestion control functions, tutorials on how to run NS-2 to match Linux performance, benchmark for TCP.

SW2SPA is an educational simulator with animation for network protocols that allow reliable data transfer, specifically developed for the stop and wait protocols, go-back-N and selective repeat. The aim of SW2PSA is to be used as a tool to support the animation of this protocols in a course like data networks, communication protocols or other related, and to include in the course a project that involves the programming of any of these protocols using a very known language as Java. Since it is an open source program also helps the student who wishes to know the structure of a simple discrete event network simulator.

WIPsim (Wireless IP Simulator) is a network simulator for all layers of the OSI model. The current version is focussed on dealing with IPv6. The simulator was started to investigate wireless (data) networks and mobility.
