Hi, This post is to show how we can simulate a satellite network in Network Simulator. Some extensions can enable ns to model; Traditional geostationary ``bent-pipe'' satellites with multiple users per uplink/downlink and asymmetric links. Geostationary satellites with processing payloads (either regenerative payloads or full packet switching). Polar orbiting LEO constellations such as Iridium and Teledesic. These satellite models are principally aimed at using ns to study networking aspects of satellite systems; in particular, MAC, link layer, routing, and transport protocols. For more, Click Here
When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
