NS-3 Performance Analysis and Development of Effective Load Balancing Algorithms

Abstract

The NS-3 simulator is a discrete-event network simulator. It is used both for research and educational purposes[1]. The role of performance in network simulation is very important now, because modern networks become larger and their complexity is increasing. The goal of this work is to analyze existing implementations of parallel algorithms (distributed version[2] and multithreaded version[3]) and to develop a new effective load balancing algorithm or improve the current implementations.
