NetSim is a leading network simulation software for protocol modeling and simulation, network R & D and defence
applications. It allows you to analyze computer networks with unmatched depth, power and flexibility.
WHY NETSIM?
Communication Networks have become too complex for traditional
analytical methods or “rules of thumb” to provide an accurate
understanding of system behavior and possible problems and solutions.
HOW IS NETSIM USED ?
Design the network
hh Create network scenarios using NetSim’s GUI or using XML config
files
hh Click and Drop devices, links, application etc into the environment
using NetSim’s GUI
hh Set properties with just a click. Layer-wise parameters can be edited
Run the simulation
hh Run the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) through the GUI or via
Command Line Interface (CLI)
hh Log packet traces that reports parameters such as arrival time,
queuing time, payload, overhead, error etc. for every packet as it
flows through the network
hh Capture packets using Wireshark
hh Record event traces which logs every single event in the protocol
Finite State Machine (FSM) transitions
Graphical User Interface
Visualize the simulation using the packet animator
hh Animate packet flow over wired and wireless links
hh Colour variation for control packets, data packets and error packets
hh Control animation with play, pause and simulation time-line
Analyse the results
hh Examine output performance metrics at multiple levels - network,
sub network, link, queue, application etc.
hh Study a variety of metrics such as throughput, delay, loss, packet
error, link utilization etc.
hh Interpret metrics using in-built plots and graphs
hh Export packet and event trace files easily to tools like Excel, etc. for
statistical analysis
Packet Animator
Develop your own protocol / algorithm
hh Extend existing algorithms by modifying NetSim’s source C code
hh Create custom protocols using NetSim’s simulation API’s
hh Interface with other software products
hh Debug your code (step-in, step-out, step-over, continue) and
watch your variables in sync with simulation

DOES NETSIM HAVE SHORT PROGRAMMING EXERCISES FOR STUDENTS ?
Network programming is a key skill that enhances student’s “employability”. Apart from simulation, NetSim features a
separate “Programming” menu to help students build skills in these basic mechanisms of computer networking.
Graphical Representation: Features a custom built UI, for each exercise. This custom UI explains the working of the
technology with animation per code progress. When the user links his or her code then the graphs change per the
output of the user’s code.
Breadth of Techniques: Covers over 45 exercises including:
»» Address Resolution Protocol
»» Assignment of Sites to Concentrator
»» Cryptography - DES,RSA,Transposition,Substitution,
XOR,WEP

Repeat, Go Back N
Algorithm, Flow Chart, Pseudo Code & Source Code: Enables the student to get familiar with software design
principles, interface guidelines and implementing network programs. They provide a step-by-step understanding of
network programming.
»» Provided along with all exercises are
working C source code for the faculty.
»» Codes are standard C and compile
with GCC
»» Programs contain standard API’s
and code separation into source and
header files
»» I/O interface via text files
De-bugging: Simplifies de-bugging as users can link their code to NetSim using “Attach to process” and passing NetSim’s
install path and windows temp folder as command line arguments. Then users can add break points in their code and
proceed with de-bug with step-in, step-out, step-through etc.
