OMNET++ TUTORIAL FOR BEGINEERS

OMNET++ TUTORIAL FOR BEGINEERS is a very well designed, modular, widely-used system; source code is available and free for teaching and research purposes.

• OMNeT++ is basically a collection of software tools and libraries which you can use to build your own simulation models.

Modeling and simulation with OMNET++:

• Creating modules from components. In OMNET++ modules can be nested, which means several modules can be grouped together to form a component module
• Define model structure in NED language
• Active components of the model have to be programmed in C++, using the simulation kernel and class hierarchy
• Provide suitable omnetpp.ini to hold omnet++ configuration and parameters to designed model. A config file can describe several simulation runs with different parameters
• Build simulation program and run it.
• Simulation results are written into output vector and output scalar files.

Sample code for OMNET++:

This is the sample code of compound module,

module WirelessHostBase
{
gates;
	input radioIn;
submodules:
	tcp: TCP;
ip: IP;
wlan: Ieee80211;
Connections:
	tcp.ipOut ip.tcpIn;
	tcp.ipInip.tcpOut;
ip.nicOut++wlan.ipln;
ip.nicIn++wlan.ipOut;
wlan.radioInradioIn;
}
module WirelessUser extends WirelessHostBase
{
submodules:
	webAgent: WebAgent;
Connections:
	webAgent.tcpOut tcp.appIn++;
	webAgent.tcpIntcp.appOut++;
}
