Abstract
This paper presents an overview of few of the
most used network simulators in academia. Also,
computational performance is evaluated for a radio-wave
propagation model in simulation scenarios for one of the
most popular and widely used network simulators NS-2,
and its new significantly different version NS-3. Additionally we present the differences between both
simulators, and few major issues that need to be taken
into account when porting a NS-2 model to NS-3, from a
developer’s point of view. The results present a
significant computational performance increase when
using the NS-3 network simulator.
