Abstract
ADVANTAGES OF A COMMON SIMULATOR Multiprotocol network simulators provide a rich opportunity for efficient experimentation. Disparate research efforts using a common simulation environment can yield substantial benefits, including . improved validation of the behavior of existing protocols, . a rich infrastructure for developing new protocols, . the opportunity to study large-scale protocol interaction in a controlled environment, and . easier comparison of results across research efforts. The Virtual InterNetwork Testbed (VINT) project provides improved simulation tools for network researchers to use in the design and deployment of new wide-area Internet protocols. An understanding of the VINT simulation framework and its principal tool, ns, the network simulator, can help researchers determine how best to proceed with their efforts. SIMULATION NEEDS OF NETWORK RESEARCHERS Simulation evaluates network protocols under varying network conditions. Studying
