NS2 Network Simulator: Otcl Basics Links

This document discusses NS2, an open source network simulator written in C++ and OTcl. It can be used to simulate wired and wireless networks, implement network protocols, and model things like routing algorithms, traffic sources, and queue management. The document provides an example NS2 script that sets up a simple star topology network with 5 nodes, uses CBR traffic between two nodes, and runs the simulation for 5 seconds. Procedures in OTcl are also briefly explained.

NS2 network simulator


DEVANG PATEL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY

Introduction

NS (Version 2) is an open source network simulation tool. It is an object oriented, discrete


event driven simulator written in C++ and Otcl. The primary use of NS is in network
researches to simulate various types of wired/wireless local and wide area networks; to
implement network protocols such as TCP and UDP, traffic source behavior such as FTP,
Telnet, Web, CBR and VBR, router queue management mechanism such as Drop Tail, RED
and CBQ, routing algorithms such as Dijkstra, and many more.Ns2 is written in C++ and Otcl
to separate the control and data path implementations.

Procedures
One can define new procedures with the proc command. The first argument to proc is the
name of the procedure and the second argument contains the list of the argument names to
that procedure. For instance a procedure that calculates the sum of two numbers can be
defined as follow

proc sum {a b} {
