Network Simulator 3 (ns-3)

Network Simulator 3 for Advanced Networking Simulation

NS-3 empowers developers to simulate IP networks, validate protocols, and prototype real-world applications in reproducible lab-grade environments. 

Overview

CLOUD NETWORK TEST: Enabling ns-3 Simulations for Innovation

Network Simulator 3 (ns-3) is a discrete-event network simulator designed for research, development, and academic use. It supports the simulation of both IP and non-IP based networks and is widely adopted in educational and commercial settings to study network behavior under controlled conditions. At CLOUD NETWORK TEST, we enable clients across North America to use ns-3 for testing routing algorithms, wireless technologies, LTE, and internet-scale applications. Based in New York, NY, CLOUD NETWORK TEST helps organizations perform large-scale simulations with fine-grained performance metrics, enabling robust system modeling and infrastructure optimization.

Comprehensive NS3 Deployment Support

In addition to offering products and systems developed by our team and trusted partners for Network Simulator 3 (ns-3), we are proud to carry top-tier technologies from Global Advanced Operations Tek Inc. (GAO Tek Inc.) and Global Advanced Operations RFID Inc. (GAO RFID Inc.). These reliable, high-quality products and systems significantly enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive technologies, seamless integrations, and trusted services tailored to diverse client needs. Where relevant, we have also provided direct links to select products and systems from GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc., allowing organizations to easily explore, evaluate, and adopt these solutions as part of their simulation and testing environment.

By combining our expertise in ns-3 deployment with the innovative offerings from GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc., CLOUD NETWORK TEST ensures that clients gain access to a complete ecosystem for advanced network simulation. This integration not only strengthens the performance of ns-3-based environments but also enables enterprises, researchers, and educators to achieve greater accuracy, scalability, and efficiency in their projects. From validating new communication protocols and optimizing wireless technologies to supporting large-scale academic research, our combined solutions are designed to accelerate innovation while minimizing risks. Together, we help organizations build future-ready infrastructures with confidence, backed by technologies that align with current and emerging industry standards.
