Abstract
We report on the design objectives and initial design of a new discrete-event network simulator for the research community. Creating Yet Another Network Simulator (yans, http://yans.inria.fr/yans) is not the sort of prospect network researchers are happy to contemplate, but this effort may be timely given that ns-2 is considering a major revision and is evaluating new simulator cores. We describe why we did not choose to build on existing tools such as ns-2, GTNetS, and OPNET, outline our functional requirements, provide a high-level view of the architecture and core components, and describe a new IEEE 802.11 model provided with yans.Keywords
