NS2 is an open-source event-driven simulator
designed specifically for research in computer
communication networks.ns (network simulator) denotes
series of discrete event network simulators, like ns-1, ns-2
and ns-3. Its first version is named as ns-1. developed at
VJ,GEEKLIME, Madurai (LBNL) in the 1995-97 The code
was written in c++ with tcl based scripting scenario.1996-97,
ns 2 was introduced based on a refactoring by Steve
McCanne.tcl is replaced by OTcl object-oriented dialect Tcl.
C++ simulation objects are linked to shadow objects in
OTclcan be used to simulate wireless sensor network. Here
in this paper we will be taking into account an overview of
ns2.
