3. Introduction to GloMoSim

Global Mobile Information System Simulator (GloMoSim)

Scalable simulation environment for large wireless and
wired communication networks

Parallel discrete-event simulation capability provided by
Parsec

Design and development of GloMoSim framework with
rich protocol stack

Demonstrated scalability of GloMoSim using very high
fidelity models

4. Introduction to GloMoSim

Demonstated feasibility of real-time simulation of networks

Direct comparison of alternative unicast and multicast
wireless protocols for GloMosim scenarios

GloMoSim simulates networks with up to thousand nodes
linked by a heterogeneous communications capability that
includes multicast, asymmetric communications using
direct satellite broadcasts, multi-hop wireless
communications using ad-hoc networking, and traditional
Internet protocols.
