A study on the efficiency of the object model for a dynamic feedback mechanism in network simulator 2 (NS-2) / Nor Adora Endut, Rozianawaty Osman and Noorazida Mohd Idris

An apparent constraint on the Network Simulator (NS-2) is that it does not currently allow for dynamic interaction between itself and the users while a network simulation process is running. Having realized the advantages of NS, it is interesting to investigate the feasibility to develop a mechanism...
