  1. NS2 Keywords: Install Network Simulator 2.26 Unix/Linux and Windows Network Animator 1.9 Xgraph/Tracegraph Object/Tool Command Language By Abu Asaduzzaman aasaduzz@cse.fau.edu MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Mobile Computing Simulations • Installation (ns2, nam1, xgraph) • Installation Problems and Bug Fixes • Bug Reports • Demo/Example (Otcl) MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  3. Introduction • What/why NS2? • Discrete event, packet level simulator • Open source, supports research • Protocol design, traffic study • Written in C++ with Otcl front-end • Wired and Mobile modes • Link layer and up for most wired • Additional lower layers for wireless MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  4. Introduction (+) • What is discrete event simulation? • list of events ordered by simulation time • take next event, run it until done • each event happens in an instant of virtual /simulated time, but takes an arbitrary amount of real time • Why Otcl and C++? • Detailed simulation (runtime speed) – C++ • Varying parameters (change model) – Tcl MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  5. Routing/Agent Protocol/Agent Portrait of a Mobile Node n1 Port Classifier Addr Classifier entry Link Layer Interface queue MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  6. Introduction (+) • Any other simulation tools? • OPNET Modeler • Run faster, commercial usages • Text based, no nice graphics MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  7. Introduction (+) • What about NAM? • NAM provides a visual view of the simulation • view overall topology - nodes and links • packets in transmission, queued, and dropped • can monitor individual nodes, links, or packets • provides graphical results with xgraph in Unix only MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  8. Introduction (+) • What is Xgraph/Tracegraph? • Xgraph for Unix/Linux only • Tracegraph for Unix/Windows both • plot graphical results • number of packets transmitted over time, end-to-end delay, etc MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  9. Introduction (+) • Available? • Installed in CSE Lab S&E-319 and MCLab S&E-409 • Install in Unix/Linux or Windows OS • http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ • http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/nam/ • http://www.cv.nrao.edu/adass/abstracts/bof_tcl.html MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  10. Introduction (+) • How much memory it takes? • Approximately 70 MB of space for precompiled NS2 binary, or • 145 + 50 MB of space for full NS2 and NAM1 source MCLab CSE Dept, FAU

  11. Introduction (+) • Simulate mobility using NS2? • Various modules were added to NS2 to simulate node mobility and wireless networking • Mobile Node • Ad-hoc Routing (DSR, DSDV, TORA, AODV) • MAC802.11 • Radio Propagation Model • Channel MCLab CSE Dept, FAU
