Abstract
Nowadays, Internet applications generate more and more communication traffic that needs to be wisely handled by computer networks. Therefore there is a big demand on communication protocols to have less payload and bigger efficiency. In this paper, we briefly explain our solution of enhanced simulation and visualization of network protocols based on ns-2 simulator, called NS2IT. Our goal is to simplify the simulation’s process, data visualization and measurements’ comparison. Proposed prototype teaches students about characteristics of given protocols and informs developers about protocols’ performance in specific network situations. All these information are presented by rich web interface.
