Abstract

This paper highlights the needs for wireless and mobile IPv6 simulation. In terms of programming, modularity, extensibility and re-usability are the main features that we are looking for. On the technical side, mobility, multihoming and cross-layer optimization are the goals we have identified. Based on these recommendations, we show that the existing simulators are not satisfying our goals, and thus we propose a new simulator namely SimulX. SimulX is a very promising simulator, which already provides the main wireless technologies and multihoming features in a simple programming environment.
