At this moment, let’s discuss about the required steps for the installation of network simulator 2 in Ubuntu through this article.
Phase: I Ns2 Installation in Ubuntu
To the start, we have to install Ns2 in Ubuntu through opening the command window and executing the command which is highlighted in the following.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ns2
sudo apt-get install nam
sudo apt-get install tcl
Phase: II Creation of Ns2 Simulation in Ubuntu
To create the Ns2 simulation in Ubuntu, we have to create the main file along with source that have been highlighted in the following and store that with the file extension .tcl.
- Ns2 code to define the object for network simulator, network animation and tracing
set ns [new Simulator]
set namf [open wired2.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $namf
set tracef [open wired2.tr w]
- Ns2 code for the creation of wired nodes
set n0 [$ns node]
set n1 [$ns node]
set n2 [$ns node]
set n3 [$ns node]
To this end, we hope that we have provided the required processes and steps to install the network simulator 2 in Ubuntu. If you guys have any queries, you can contact us.
