SW2SPA is an educational simulator with animation for network protocols that allow reliable data transfer, specifically developed for the stop and wait protocols, go-back-N and selective repeat. The aim of SW2PSA is to be used as a tool to support the animation of this protocols in a course like data networks, communication protocols or other related, and to include in the course a project that involves the programming of any of these protocols using a very known language as Java. Since it is an open source program also helps the student who wishes to know the structure of a simple discrete event network simulator.

Improved Network Energy Conserving Algorithm based Sensor Network Simulator. The algorithm derives from LEACH and gives better performance.

An adhoc network simulator that tests multiple transceiver base stations in a peer to peer environment.

WIPsim (Wireless IP Simulator) is a network simulator for all layers of the OSI model. The current version is focussed on dealing with IPv6. The simulator was started to investigate wireless (data) networks and mobility.

Yans is a extensible, mixed-level, Monte-Carlo Method based, discrete event network simulator. Yans is divided into interacting layers, namely: core, topology, nodes, monitors; and is driven by a config-file that describes the setup of the network.

This software is designed to simulate a WDM gridless and elastic network.

There is a need for realistic node topologies for simulating and testing wireless network protocols. The softare evoTopo is able to generate multiple different topologies based on a given reference example, typically from a real-world setup. Based on this an evolutionary algorithm evolves new topology files with equal parameters regarding node density, distribution homogeneity and network properties such as node degree distrbution. evoTopo can be used with any wireless network simulator that will accept a node position file of some form. The reference file must be given in .csv format listing the x- and y-coordinates of the nodes. evoTopo is written in Java and will run on Java 6 or higher. It is released under the GPL v3 license. It comes with reference topology files in .csv format for mesh networks deployed in Berlin, Wien, Leipzig and MIT. See the README file for further information.

TraceMetrics is a trace file analyzer for Network Simulator 3 (ns-3). The main goal is to perform a quick analyzis of the trace file produced by ns-3's simulations and calculate useful metrics for research and performance measurement. Such tool is needed because a research simulation may generate a trace file with thousands of lines, becoming dificult to analyze manually. Due to this, this tool can be handy in case someone needs a metric that the tool already support. TraceMetrics is an opensource tool, developed in Java and the code can be found here. We encourage the users to report any bugs found in the tool, mailing us at tracemetrics (at) tracemetrics.net
