Time needed: 5 minutes

Follow from Step 1 to Step 7 in order to create NAM using Network Simulator projects. Quick guide to create NAM File in NS2. Reach us , if you want an customize NS2 simulator projects works for scholars.

  1. NAM file in NS2

    What is nam file
    The NAM is one of the Tcl/TK based animation tool. The tool used to viewing network simulation traces and real world packet traces. By using this nam tool we can perform the process like topology layout, packet level animation, and various data inspection tools. The nam trace files is stored with the file extension with .nam. And also, we execute the nam trace file , with using the keyword, exec nam.NAM file in NS2

  2. Source code for main file

    To perform the process of TCL source code for main file by using the command ns2 simulation sudo ./ns Wired_NW.tclSource code for main file

  3. Open the terminal and verify the installed package

    Initially,Next open the terminal by press ctrl+alt+T buttons or search from the installed software list.Open the terminal

  4. Change the location

    Change the location by using the keyword cdChange the location

  5. Execute/run the main tcl file : by using the keyword ns

    To perform the process of Execute/run the main tcl file by using the command sudo ./ns Wired_NW.tcl
    In the above command the ns is the keyword to call the network simulator process , the main id the file name and also the tcl is the file extensionExecute/run the main tcl file

  6. Auto generated nam trace file

    The main id the file name and also the tcl is the file extension to get the Auto generated nam trace file.Auto generated nam trace file

  7. Get the simulation

    The main id the file name and also the tcl is the file extension to execute the process to get the simulationGet the simulation
