2007/5/20 News! The new version NSG is now available.  

About :

Well, since I spent a lot of time to write TCL scripts for ns2, I decided to write a tool to create TCL scripts automatically. That is why I created NSG. Now, I would like to share NSG with you guys. Hope you will like it. If you have any comment or suggestion, please feel free to let me know. ^^

Introduction :

NS2 Scenarios Generator (NSG) is a JAVA based ns2 scenarios generator. Since NSG is written by JAVA language, you can run NSG on any platform. Currently, NSG can only generate wireless ad-hoc scenarios. The functions of NSG are listed as follows:

1. Creating wireless node (auto and manual)

• Manual : By mouse click 
• Auto : Support chain-topology, grid-topology, random-topology modes.

2. Creating connection between nodes (auto and manual) 

• Manual : By mouse click (select source node and destination node) 
• Auto : Support fully, intelligent, and random modes.

 3. Node movement 

• To use the new node movement function. Please right-click on the node and select "Waypoint."
