| Description | Employing an emulation capability in network simulation provides the ability for real-world traffic to interact with a simulation. The benefits of emulation include the ability to expose experimental algorithms and protocols to live traffic loads, and to test real-world protocol implementations against repeatable interference generated in simulation. This paper describes the design and implementation of the emulation facility in the NS simulator, a commonly-used publicly available network research simulator. 1. Introduction Simulation and testbed construction represent the two most important methodologies available to network protocol developers for design and evaluation of both novel and existing network protocols. Simulation provides for repeatable, controlled experimentation with a modest overhead required to construct and carry out a simulation. Unfortunately, simulations often make simplifying assumptions which may obscure understanding of behavior seen in real-world situations.... |
