ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter, we discussed the concept of network

emulation in general, and how it is different from other experiment

techniques. Now let us give an overview of the network emulation

tools that are available for use. You will see that there are almost 30

such relatively well-known tools and environments. Following the

overview, we shall provide several criteria and use them to classify

the presented emulators. This should help our readers put some

order in the emulatorworld andmake it an easier task for them if the

need to choose and use a network emulator appears at some point

in their career.
