Network Simulation with TCL Script Generator for NS-2
Simulation domain use or create Tcl scripts to set up a wired or wireless communication network, and then run these scripts via the NS-2 for getting the simulation results. Tcl scripts are widely used in NS-2 simulation tool. We have developed a new Tcl script generator tool, named “TCL Script Generator”, to permit users to create Tcl scripts file in a direct and easy manner and it has GUI. This tool has friendly interface to set wired or wireless communication network parameters. After the parameters are entered, the tool automatically generates Tcl scripts file, which can be run in NS-2 network environment for getting the simulation results for the network being studied. The focus of this paper is on the Tcl script generator, its development and we introduce the specific characteristics of “Network simulation with TCL Script Generator” and discuss its features compared with NSG-2 (NS-2 Scenarios Generator2) . Keywords: Tcl Script Generator, Ns-2 Simulator, Nsg2.1.
