This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the OMNeT++ simulation environment and an overview of its ecosystem of ever-growing frameworks, which provide simulation models for diverse communication systems, protocols, and standards. OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++) is a modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators. As its name suggests, OMNeT++ features a modular design that separates the discrete-event simulation engine (aka the simulation library or framework) from the network models built on top of it. Discrete-event simulation refers to the technique of modeling systems as a series of events at discrete time instances that represent the potential change to the system’s state. In addition to supporting discrete-event simulation, OMNeT++ provides an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and additional tools for model configuration, data analysis, and visualization. Network models built on top of the OMNeT++ framework represent detailed network operations, including sending and receiving data between simulated entities (hosts, servers, routers, switches, mobile stations, and so on) over either wired or wireless transmission media.
