An important part of network simulation is the application, which has specific traffic patterns that try to imitate a real-world application. For instance, an on-off application with random on and off durations can be used to model the behavioral pattern of a human using a web-browser. But the traffic pattern generated by an ns-3 application is only an estimate and is limited by the underlying mechanics of discrete-event simulation. We propose a method by which an ns-3 application can be re-used as a real-world application. Such an application can be written and tested using ns-3, and instantly deployed in the real-world with confidence. The application would be agnostic of whether it is being used for simulation or as a real-world application.
