Netsim is a mobile ad hoc network simulator targeted at large heterogeneous node configurations. It is written in Java and is easily extensible through its modular concept.

This project provides DiffServ simulations improvements for the Network Simulator 2. The current version works for NS2 version 2.29

UM-OLSR is an OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing protocol) implementation for the ns2 network simulator.

GatcomSUMO is a multi-platform application that facilitates the building of VANET simulations using the SUMO traffic simulator and the OMNeT++ network simulator. The tasks related to the generation of abstract or synthetic scenarios, the download and conversion of network scenarios based on real maps (e.g. from OpenStreetMap), the route creation process, and the vehicles mobility modelling are integrated in a user-friendly graphical interface. This tool performs the necessary actions by invoking the set of utilities included in SUMO, saving the user from typing complex command-line orders. GatcomSUMO visualizes the network and routes easily, and they are created in such a way to meet the requirements of the involved simulators, in particular OMNeT++, in order to avoid misunderstandings and runtime errors. The application allows the conversion of the spatial coordinates used by SUMO into those used by OMNeT++, which is essential to place fixed elements like RSUs.

JBotSim is a multipurpose dynamic network simulator that allows to quickly prototype a distributed algorithm and test its behavior on a set of static or mobile nodes. If mobile, the nodes can be controlled by the mouse or by program.

Simured is a multicomputer network simulation whith visual interface to see packet movement on the network. It is multi platform and there are versions in Java and C++.

This is an implementation of the Granular Neural Network architecture defined by S. Dick, A. Tappenden, C. Badke, O. Olarewaju. It is provided for the use of the public, and the convenience of researchers who may wish to develop or use this new system.

AWNetS(Aibear Wireless Network Simulator)is a C++ written,fire-new discrete-event wireless network simulator which integrates network and communication simulations.It also focuses on various kinds of wireless networks including satellite and HAP.

Cervelletto is a neural network simulator. It uses a new neural model based on biological, neurological and psychological studies. [it's not yet completed... just give me some weeks! sorry!]

This project is based on a personal effort for researches on dynamics of coevovling networks. As a physicist, I am trying to build a framework for discrete-time dynamics of general networks, and its software libraries with APIs.

Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) for Network Simulator.

A Graphical Editor and Animator for the ns-2 Network Simulator.

This is a basic implementation of an Information-Centric Network simulator, following the architecture suggested by Blackadder. It was by the University of Essex for the needs of the PAL project and it include Publishers, Subscribers, RV and a Topology Manager.

iSNS is an interactive neural network simulator written in Java/Java3D. The program is intended to be used in lessons of Neural Networks. The program was developed by students as the software project at Charles University in Prague.

This is a network simulator. This is meant to be user friendly as well as feature rich. This field lacks software with good user interface. Even the commercial softwares in this field is quite lame. This aimed to go along Multisim(R) and Blender(R) form

Lens is the light, efficient network simulator, written by Doug Rohde. LensOSX is a native MacOSX port of Lens that runs on MacOSX 10.5 or higher, created by Harm Brouwer, Daniel de Kok and Hartmut Fitz.

Liowsn (Linux for works with WSN) was created to assist teachers, students and people involved with projects of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The operating system is Ubuntu 9.10 remastered and it contains several tools for simulation and testing installed to work with WSN. Discussion Group: http://groups.google.com/group/liowsn-users User manual: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4912938/LiowsnManual_EN.pdf (English Version) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4912938/LiowsnManual_PT.pdf (Portuguese Version)

Mangrovia is a tool for automatic complex multilayer topology generation in a compatible format with Network Simulator 2 (ns-2). Based on specs (in xml format), software creates an otcl script. Users can set Bandwidths, Distances, Linking Policies.

The NS-Mapper ad-hoc scenario editor is improved and extended by adding more realistic strategies, such as random based node placement, movement and traffic to the ad-hoc simulation of the Network Simulator 2 (NS-2).

The goal of this project is to be an improvement of the original Network Animator (NAM) module provided as part of the Network Simulator 2 (NS2). This tool provides topology visualization, TCL script generation, and enhanced simulation animation.

Main source code is moved at https://github.com/jpahullo/planetsim. We recommend authors of contributions sections to move your code to github. Since then, contributions remain here for your use at will. PlanetSim is an object oriented simulation framework for overlay networks and services. This framework presents a layered and modular architecture with well defined hotspots documented using classical design patterns.

A wireless push-type network simulator that considers locality of demand for performance improvement. The network environment consists of multiple directed emitters for parallel data broadcasting. Performance depends on the mean response time of clients.

A modern and usable interface for the well known neuronal network simulator SNNS. The GUI acts as a client to serveral servers embedding SNNS and supports team work aspects.

An adhoc network simulator that tests multiple transceiver base stations in a peer to peer environment.
