VisualVNC is a connector between virtual network and physical network. A virtual network mainly refers to the topology created by GNS3 (Graphical Network Simulator, a popular network simulator), the physical network means the real machines or virtual machines (created by VMware, virtualbox and so on) which are running Windows.

The WSN simulator is network simulator specifically designed for wireless sensor networks simulations. It is specifically designed for my own research works. The results may or may not be accurate as other widely renown simulation tools like ns2, netsim, opnet, etc. It uses a multithreaded approach of running events of a network. It was the best solution that I thought which could also help in easily producing randomness in the event scheduling. It takes a configuration file as input of which the format is defined by the software itself. To know the details of the configuration format checkout the file 'input.config'. This file is used to create simulation environment according to the user's preferences.

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.

A simple but complete mobile wireless network simulator based on Matlab.

2023-03-20: the latest version of the XG-PON model for ns-3.35 is in GitHub (https://github.com/ajerikko/xgpon4ns3-v3/releases/tag/v3.1). It contains major changes to example code. Please use it for new activities. 10-Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (XG-PON), is regarded as one of the key technologies for future Internet access networks. This project develops an XG-PON module for the NS-3 network simulator - a G987 (ITU-T) standards-compliant, configurable, and extensible module that can simulate XG-PON that can support a wide range of research topics. This work was supported in part by SFI through CTVR.

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.

bns is a network simulator. You can create a complete network, add services to host, ... It can be usefull to study network behavior, make presentations, learn hacking techniques, ...

A network simulator for IEEE 802.11 WLANs supporting PCF based communications.

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.

MILPFlow: An Open Source Project to Simulate VM Placement of Data Centers. Data center network topology simulator with Lingo and network simulator 2 (ns-2)

niab - Network In A Box. Create a virtual lab network inside one machine. A lab can include routers, firewalls, clients and servers connected by a network specified by you. [Linux Network Simulator, UML, user mode linux]

The aim of this project is to have a current implementation of the experimental VFER protocol (http://vfer.sf.net) within the ns-2 network simulator. The design of VFER can then be tweaked using results from this simulation.

The earlier version of this NS-2 add-on (for OFDM PHY) was developed at NIST. At the WiMAX Forum Plenary Meeting at Hawaii (January 30 - February 2, 2007), the decision to merge the independent development efforts supported by Application Architecture Task Group (AATG), WiMAX Forum and NIST was taken. In 2009 the source code was made available to public though the website http://community.4gdeveloper.com/ and is moved from Google code to sourceforge gain a broader attention. Credit is given to everybody who contributed to this software module, especially the development teams at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL). Last but not least we would like to the Application Working Group (AWG) of the WIMAX Forum for there support. This module is based on the network simulator ns-2.36 and implements the IEEE 802.16-2012 MAC layer based on WirelessMAN-OFDMA.

NS-2 Trace Statistics is a tool for easy generation of summary statistics from Network Simulator trace files, such as: total and network delay, packets generated, sent, received and dropped, run length histograms and MRU stack depth.

OPENOLSRV2 is an OLSRv2 (Optimized Link State Routing protocol version 2) implementation for the ns2 network simulator.

This project provides an OSPF implementation for the Network Simulator 2 (ns-2).

The contiki OS running on the cooja wireless sensors network simulator makes use of the RPL protocol for its routing plan. Rplfuzzy project aims to use fuzzy logic for a routing that take care of several performance metrics as latency, energy, throughput and other.

rsim is a simple discrete-event communications network simulator initially developed to test routing protocols for undersea acoustic modem networks. If done well then rsim will eventually be a good replacement for "ns2".
