OMNeT++

OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++)[1] is a modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators.[2][3][4] OMNeT++ can be used for free for non-commercial simulations like at academic institutions and for teaching.[5] OMNEST is an extended version of OMNeT++ for commercial use cases.[6][7]

OMNeT++ itself is a simulation framework without models for network protocols like IP or HTTP. The main computer network simulation models are available in several external frameworks. The most commonly used one is INET [8][9] which offers a variety of models for all kind of network protocols and technologies like for IPv6, BGP etc. INET also offers a set of mobility models to simulate the node movement in simulations. The INET models are licensed under the LGPL or GPL.[10]
