Network Simulator 2 (ns-2) for everyone! 🎉

Requirements

Install nix, we recommend you to install it via the determinate systems installer:

curl -fsSL https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install --no-confirm

Usage

You can have a shell with ns already installed with:

nix develop --accept-flake-config github:pablito2020/ns-for-everyone#ns

You can even run it without spawning a new shell, just do:

nix run --accept-flake-config github:pablito2020/ns-for-everyone#ns <your-ns-script> <your-script-args>

If you want to run the patched version that prints the timeout, just change #ns with #ns-patched, for example, if you want a shell with the patched version of ns:

nix develop --accept-flake-config github:pablito2020/ns-for-everyone#ns-patched

Or, run it directly:

nix run --accept-flake-config github:pablito2020/ns-for-everyone.#ns-patched <your-ns-script> <your-script-args>

Use it with docker

It is not the recommended path, but you can download the ns-for-everyone image and run a new container:

docker pull ghcr.io/pablito2020/ns-for-everyone:main
docker run -it ghcr.io/pablito2020/ns-for-everyone:main
