NS-2 is designed to run from on most UNIX based operating systems. It is possible to run NS-2 on Windows machines using Cygwin. If you don't have a UNIX install, you can also use a virtual linux machine and run that under Windows

About NS-2

lNetwork Simulator

lA package of tools that simulates behavior of networks

–Create Network Topologies

–Log events that happen under any load

–Analyze events to understand the network behavior

NS-2 is a very popular discrete event Network Simulator which is widely used in the research field of Wired, Wireless and Satellite Networks across both academia and industry as a way of designing, testing and evaluating new and existing protocols and architectures, and has also proven a very useful tool for teaching purposes.

NS-2 comes fully equipped of protocols,models, algorithms and accessory tools. NS-2 is an open source network simulator which isfreely available for academic research purpose. Therefore, in terms of scientific acceptance,number of tools/modules and cost, NS-2 would be a sort of ideal choice.

Ns is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. Ns provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks. NS-2 started as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 and has since been supported by the Virtual Inter Network Testbed (VINT) project that is a DARPA-funded research project whose aim is to build a network simulator.

The first version of NS was for wired networks butthe demand to support wireless networking made the Monarch Group to create new version NS-2. NS-2 uses two languages C++ to implement protocols and Object Oriented Tcl (OTcl) for configuration and simulation the scripts
