ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es caracterizar y comparar diferentes herramientas de simulación de red, entregando pautas para realizar una selección apropiada de acuerdo a las necesidades de cada usuario o proyecto. Se definieron una serie de características que debe cumplir una herramienta de simulación, entre las cuales se destacan: el tipo de uso dado a la herramienta, la licencia requerida, curva de aprendizaje requerida, plataforma o sistema operativo que requiere para funcionar, resultados gráficos que entregan, que tecnologías de nivel 2 y 3 soportan, y que tipo de tráfico permite modelar. Los resultados obtenidos después de caracterizar cada herramienta de simulación se presentan en una tabla comparativa que permite al lector elegir la herramienta de simulación según sus necesidades. Los factores más influyentes en la selección de una herramienta de simulación son la curva de aprendizaje y el tipo de licencia. AbstractThe goal of this paper is to characterize and compare different network simulators, to establish the most appropriate network simulation tool, based on user needs. A series of useful parameters in network simulation for each analyzed tool, such as the type of use, the type of license required, the learning curve, the operative system required, the type of graphic results, the technologies in level 2 and 3 available, and type of network traffic allowed to simulate are defined. This information was summarized in a matrix that links each simulator and the relevant characteristics. The table allows any user to choose a network simulator, considering its context and the simulator goal. The most relevant factors for selecting a simulation tool is the learning curve and the type of license.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
