ns-3 Installation

• The ns-3 simulator is a discrete-event network simulator.


• ns-3 is designed as a set of libraries that can be combined together and also with
other external software libraries. While some simulation platforms provide users
with a single, integrated graphical user interface environment in which all tasks are
carried out, ns-3 is more modular in this regard. Several external animators and data
analysis and visualization tools can be used with ns-3. However, users should
expect to work at the command line and with C++ and/or Python software
development tools.
