Mobiwan

The NS-2 MOBIWAN package (ns-2.1b6 only, Mobile IPv6 draft-14

MobiWan is a simulation tool based on NS (version ns-2.1b6) meant to simulate Mobile IPv6 under large Wide-Area Networks (both local-area mobility and global-area mobility). As such, MobiWan comprises extensions to simulate Mobile IPv6, and extensions to manipulate and configure large network topologies (TOPOMAN / TOPOGEN). Both extensions can work independently one from the other.
