Detail Comparison of Network Simulators

Simulation software is an important platform of finding results to be expected from a practical hardware setup which is costly and tedious to modify frequently. There are a lot of Network Simulators in the communication world. Some of them are dedicated to wireless network, some of them are dedicated to wired network or both type of networks. Because of wide variations in operating systems, hardware requirements, programming software requirements, output features and scalability, it is very difficult to choose a suitable simulator for a specific job. Our aim is to subjugate the barrier. We have studied and compared the detail features of the Network Simulators for the sake of choosing the absolutely necessary one from the pool of simulators.
