Abstract

One of the most challenging tasks in the network research area is the network establishment in a real time scenario. Thus, Network simulation is a modern technology introduced for estimating the behavior of networks on a computer. Network simulators are utilized for evaluating new theories and hypotheses. There are various network simulators developed based on different features like range, nodes, link between nodes, traffic, graphical applications and programming oriented tools. This paper provides a brief explanation about different network simulators and compares them based on their running time and memory usage found in the literature.
