ns-3 is a discrete-event network simulator for Internet systems, targeted primarily for research and educational use. ns-3 includes a solid event-driven simulation core as well as an object framework focused on simulation configuration and event tracing, a set of realistic 802.11 MAC and PHY models, an IPv4, UDP, and TCP stack and support for nsc (integration of Linux and BSD TCP/IP network stacks). ns-3 is free software, licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license, and it is publicly available for research, development, and use. Our team has been involved in ns-3 project since 2006 and we are founding member of the ns-3 consortium.
