Abstract

This paper reports on the project plan to develop a new major version of the popular ns-2 networking simulator. The authors have organized an NSF-funded, four-year community infrastructure project to develop the next version of ns. The project will also be oriented towards community development and open source software practices to encourage participation from the broader research and educational community. The purpose of this paper is to expand on the goals and initial design concepts for this new software development effort.
