Animators are the most important tool in network simulation. It gave us a visual treat about A network and its performance over a certain period under certain circumstances/conditions. Network Simulator 2 version has many animator tools as default NAM . But in the case of ns3, it doesn't have a default animator tool. So, we have to use certain methods to animate a network. And for that, we a currently using two methods and are; 1. PyViz Method 2. NetAnim Method PyViz Method As like NAM, It is not a animator which generates trace files. It is a live visualizer and which doesn't creates trace files. So, it is very use full for debugging purposes. Debugging purposes means to find out what you expect and where to packets been dropped out in a mobility model. PyViz Interface Most importantly, it works on Interactive python console and written in python and can use in c++ simulations also. For More, Click here NetAnim Method ...
