 A network simulator enables users to virtually create
a network along with its components such as
devices, links, and applications etc. To study the
behavior and performance of the network.
What is a network emulator?

A NetSim emulator enables us to run real applications over virtual networks

with wide selection of network conditions like error, delay, loss etc.
Use of an emulator from development through pre-deployment phases eases
the need of redesigning, testing and tuning your applications, thus saving
time, effort and eventually cost of setting up a network.

What you can do with NetSim Emulator?

• Network design and validation – Military radios, SCADA, Metro rail etc
• Application performance testing
• R&D in new protocol design
• Perform what-if analysis
What are the benefits of NetSim Emulator?

• Emulate a wide range of technologies – Switching,

Routing, MANETs, Cognitive Radio networks, 4G-LTE
networks, ZigBee networks

• A cost effective alternative to hardware emulators that

have high costs and limited scale

• Reduced learning curve through agile testing in lab

without complicated configuration
How does it work?

• Create the desired network in the Emulation server using NetSim

GUI

• Run emulation client in the PC’s/VM’s where your live applications

run

• Set the device IP addresses per the real PC/VM in the simulated
network. Each live PC/VM corresponds to a node in the simulated
network.

• Run your application and the emulation server

• Measure your application performance

APPLICATIONS of LTE
Simulation of LTE Networks in NetSim

 LTE, an acronym for Long Term Evolution, commonly known as 4G

LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data
for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE
and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity
and speed using a different radio interface together with core
network improvements.
Creating the desired network
· Network performance:
To measure the performance of a network, performance metrics constitutes of Network
Statistics.
Packet Animation: -
When running simulation, options are available to play and record
animations which allow users to watch traffic flow through the Network for
in-depth visualization and analysis.
Packet Trace: -
NetSim Packet trace is saved as a spread sheet and can be converted to an Excel
table to make the management and analysis of data easier. A table typically contains
related data in a series of worksheet rows and columns that have been formatted as
a table. By using the table features, you can then manage the data in the table rows
and columns independently from the data in other rows and columns on the
worksheet.

 CONCLUSION

At the end of the completion of a

simulation experiment include metrics
like throughput, simulation time, frames
generated, frames dropped, frames
error, collision counts etc, and their
respective values.
