evaluating network simulators as extensions of real network testbeds
Network testbeds are limited and often hard to configure. One method of overcoming these limitations is to use network simulators for extending a testbed. This paper aims to find out which network simulator is best able to extend a network testbed. Simulators are compared by their ability to provide a proposed environment in a network testbed. Both objective and subjective criteria are used in the comparison. The evaluated simulators are the well-known tools ns-3 and OMNeT++.
