Simple Network Layer Simulator for Ad-Hoc Networks
Description
SNELSAN (Simple Network Layer Simulator for Ad-Hoc Networks) is a simple simulator-framework for testing network-layer
protocols in ad hoc networks. The software is implemented in the Python language to allow for rapid
prototyping. Only network-layer activity is considered - the MAC and
physical layers are currently omitted. The main purpose of this
software is to allow development, prototyping and visualization of different clustering and virtual
backbone construction algorithms.
