In the network research area, establishing of network in a real time scenario is very difficult. A single test bed takes a large amount of time and cost. So implementation of a whole network in real world is not easily possible and very costly too. A network simulator is a software program that imitates the working of computer network. In simulators, the computer network is typically modeled with devices; traffic etc. and the performance are analyzed. Typically, users can then customize the simulator to fulfill their specific analysis needs. Network simulators are used worldwide for education, commercial and Industrial purposes to simulate any part or entire network. There are numerous network simulators used day by day. Network simulators can be used to produce an approximation result of the network, which lays foundation for real time application or implementation. There are a number of network simulators, for instance, NS-2, NS-3, OMNET++, OPNET, JiST, J-SIM, and GLOMOSIM/QUALNET etc.

NS-2, NS-3, OMNET++, OPNET.
