傻孩子工坊: Introduce to OMNet++

OMNeT++

http://www.omnetpp.org/
A discrete-event network simulator. It is a extensible, modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators.

Components (simple modules) in OMNeT++ are programmed in C++, then assembled into larger components and models via a high-level language (NEtwork Description, NED) ==> Compound module.

OMNeT++ also support GUI for its modular architecture. It is easy to embedded into your applications.

It is a academic-free open-source network simulator. However, it need to be charged when you use it for business purpose.

Components

simulation kernel library
NED topology description language
OMNeT++ IDE based on the Eclipse platform
GUI for simulation execution
Command-line user interface for simulation exection (Cmdenv)
utilities (makefile creation tool, etc.)
documentation, simulation samples, etc.

Support Module:

INET: A open-source OMNeT++ model suite for wired, wireless (e.g., IEEE 802.11) and mobile networks.
http://inet.omnetpp.org/
The support modules are listed as follows.

OS³, the Open Source Satellite Simulator
OS³ is the Open Source Satellite Simulator, which was developed as a framework for simulating various kinds of satellite-based communication, based on OMNeT++. Now, it is a part of the INET Framework.

Vehicles in Network Simulation (Venis)
Veins is an open source framework for running vehicular network simulations. It is based on two well-established simulators: OMNeT++, an event-based network simulator, and SUMO, a road traffic simulator. Support fully-detailed models of IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.4 DSRC/WAVE.

By the way, OMNEST is a commercial version product of OMNeT++, which gives more supports than OMNeT++. The following table shows the comparison between OMNEST and OMNeT++.
