OMNet++

Step by Step

OMNeT++ is an object-oriented modular discrete event network simulation framework. It has a generic architecture, so it can be (and has been) used in various problem domains: modeling of wired and wireless communication networks

protocol modeling modeling of queuing networks modeling of multiprocessors and other distributed hardware

systems validating of hardware architectures evaluating performance aspects of complex software systems

In general, modeling and simulation of any system where the discrete event approaches suitable, and can be conveniently mapped into entities communicating by exchanging messages.

What is OMNet++?

“The INET Framework is an open-source communication networks simulation package for the OMNeT++ simulation environment. The INET Framework contains models for several wired and wireless networking protocols, including UDP, TCP, SCTP, IP, IPv6, Ethernet, PPP, 802.11, MPLS, OSPF, and many others.”

Examples

“Castalia is a simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Body Area Networks (BAN) and generally networks of low-power embedded devices.”

Examples

“MiXiM is an OMNeT++ modeling framework created for mobile and fixed wireless networks (wireless sensor networks, body area networks, ad-hoc networks, vehicular networks, etc.).”

Examples

“OverSim is an open-source overlay and peer-to-peer network simulation framework for the  OMNeT++ simulation environment. The simulator contains several models for structured (e.g. Chord, Kademlia, Pastry) and unstructured (e.g. GIA) P2P systems and overlay protocols.”
