One of the main points of using simulation software is that you don't have to buy lots of hardware in order to investigate large configurations. We have a realtime emulation package that allows us to connect ns-3 to real networks on real machines. The problem, of course, is that you need lots of real machines to run real programs. Using VMware, we replace "real machines" with "virtual machines" and configure virtual networks of virtual machines instead of having to work with tons of real hardware.

HOWTO use VMware to set up virtual networks (Windows)

1. Get the VMware server software 

   a.  You may read in various release notes or documentation that you need 
       Microsoft servers of various kinds.  This is not the case.  You can 
       run VMware server on XP just fine;
   b.  Go to http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ to get the software;
   c.  Select the Download Now button (download as usual);
   d.  Install the software in the usual way;
   e.  Ignore warnings about requiring Microsoft IIS to continue.
