- Simulation tools for mobile ad hoc networks: a survey Irin Dorathy M. Chandrasekaran Ingeniería OPNET OMNET++ QualNet GloMoSim Simulator Simulation tools are essential for validating any research idea before it is being implemented. This is very essential for all the researchers irrespective of the field of research. Simulators provide a way for analysing the design. There are many simulation tools available for the network researchers. Network Simulators are used to test the performance of existing or new algorithms and protocols.Some of the simulation tools in networking include OPNET (optimized Network Engineering Tool), NS-2 (Network Simulator version 2), OMNET++ (Objective Modular NETwork Testbed in C++), GloMoSim (Global Mobile Information System Simulator), QualNet, NetSim (Network Simulator), JiST/SWANS (Java in Simulation Time/ Scalable Wireless Network Simulator), J-Sim (Java-based simulation) and NS-3 (Network Simulator Version 3). Simulation tools may be open source or commercial. In this paper, both the open source and commercial simulators are discussed. This survey reveals that for simulating large networks, simulators like OPNET, GloMoSim, QualNet, NetSim, JiST/SWANs and NS-3 can be used. For small network simulation NS-2 and J-Sim can be preferred. Open source simulators are poor in documentation. Commercial simulators have good documentation. Based on the requirements of the research, a proper simulation tool can be selected. 2018 artículo científico 1665-6423 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=47471639006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/474/47471639006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/474/47471639006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/474/47471639006/47471639006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/474/47471639006/movil 10.22201/icat.16656423.2018.16.5.739 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=474 Journal of Applied Research and Technology application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Journal of Applied Research and Technology (México) Num.5 Vol.16
