A comparative study of different network simulation tools and experimentation platforms for underwater communication

Study of computer networks and their performance parameters like delay, bandwidth utilization, throughput, latency, jittering, packet loss. have gained significant importance in the recent times. Simulation studies been preferred for these networks, which a real time is difficult task. A network consists many networking devices as gateways, routers, bridges, wireless access points hub connected to it. To implement any new protocol or algorithm costlier consuming. Recently lot research going on underwater sensor (UWSNs). Conducting experiments applications are overpriced, so an alternative solution this, we can conduct simulation reduce cost quicken activities.In this paper explore different experimentation platforms tools available that help architects develop protocols do changes existing productive manner. We classify based various provide guidelines researchers choose suitable platform requirements.
