2 WHAT IS NETSIM AND HOW IS IT USED? NetSim is the industry s leading network simulation software for protocol modeling and simulation, network R & D and defence applications. It allows you to analyse computer networks with unmatched depth, power and flexibility. Design the network Create network scenarios using NetSim s GUI or using XML config files Click and drop devices, links, application etc. into the environment using NetSim s GUI Set properties with just a click. Layer-wise parameters can be edited Run the simulation Run the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) through the GUI or CLI Log packet trace and event trace files Capture packets using Wireshark Visualize the simulation - packet animator Animate packet flow over wired and wireless links Colour variation for control packets, data packets and error packets Control animation with play, pause and simulation time-line Analyse the results Examine output performance metrics at multiple levels - network, sub network, link, queue, application etc. Study a variety of metrics such as throughput, delay, loss, packet error, link utilization etc. Interpret metrics using in-built plots and graphs Create pivot tables and charts for visualization Interface with external software Develop your own protocol / algorithm MATLAB SUMO WIRESHARK 1 Extend existing algorithms by modifying NetSim s source C code Create custom protocols using NetSim s simulation API s Debug your code (step-in, step-out, step-over, continue) and watch your variables in sync with simulation
