A number of external research projects and tools are using ns-3; below we list the ones that we know about.

Note: There are a few projects related to ns-3 that are maintained along with ns-3 and are posted on our main web site here. These include 1) Direct Code Execution, 2) pybindgen, 3) NetAnim, and 4) bake.

The LTE-EPC Network Simulator (LENA) project

A team of developers at CTTC (Nicola Baldo, Marco Miozzo, Manuel Requena, Jaume Nin) has announced the LENA (LTE/EPC Network simulAtor) project to be working in collaboration with Ubiquisys on an enhanced LTE module for ns-3.

NEPI

NEPI is a lifecycle experiment manager for network experiments, including testbed-based, virtual machine-based, and simulation (ns-3)-based experiments, and combinations thereof.

Framework for Network Co-Simulation (FNCS) project

A team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has created a co-simulation framework involving power systems simulators (transmission and distribution systems) and ns-3.

RapidNet

RapidNet RapidNet is a development toolkit, based on ns-3, for declarative networking.

ndnSIM

The Named Data Networking simulator (ndnSIM) simulator for name-based networking research is based on ns-3.

N4C DTN project

The N4C project developed a DTN simulator combining LXC containers, ns-3 physical layer, and PyViz visualization.

ns-3-Wireless-Planning

ns-3-Wireless-Planning integrates two powerful applications: Radio Mobile (radio-systems simulator) and ns-3.

PhySim-Wifi

PhySim-Wifi is a detailed and accurate implementation of the OFDM-based IEEE 802.11 standard, with higher fidelity at the physical layer than found in ns-3.

NSF Frameworks for ns-3 project

A multi-year project funded by NSF to improve usability of ns-3. Please see NSF_Frameworks page.

Synchronized emulation (Slicetime)

The goal of the Slicetime project is to enable large-scale network emulation features by synchronizing the execution of a network simulator with virtual machines hosting arbitrary networking software.

ns-2 Trace Toolkit

The ns-2 Trace Toolkit was developed to analyze ns-2 traces, but also can be used for ns-3.

WiMesh

The WiMesh tool is a software tool for wireless mesh networks. WiMesh allows to evaluate and compare the performances of a number of algorithms proposed in the literature to assign channel, transmission rate and power to the radios of the network nodes. WiMesh automatically sets up and runs an ns-3 simulation starting from the network topology as returned by the selected channel assignment algorithm.

CROWD

CROWD is a European FP7 project that targets very dense heterogeneous wireless access networks and integrated wireless-wired backhaul networks - See more at: http://www.ict-crowd.eu/description.html#sthash.zuTl4dcx.dpuf. Details on ns-3 integration can be found at this site: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52339/en/.
