TheINET framework is an open-source communication networkssimulation package, written for the OMNEST/OMNeT++ simulation system. The INETframework contains models for numerous wired and wireless protocols, a detailedphysical layer model, application models and more. See the CREDITS file for thenames of people who have contributed to the INET Framework.

IMPORTANT: The INET Framework is continuously being improved: new partsare added, bugs are corrected, and so on. We cannot assert that any protocolimplemented here will work fully according to the specifications. YOU ARERESPONSIBLE YOURSELF FOR MAKING SURE THAT THE MODELS YOU USE IN YOUR SIMULATIONSWORK CORRECTLY, AND YOU'RE GETTING VALID RESULTS.

Contributions are highly welcome. You can make a difference!

See the WHATSNEW file for recent changes.

You may start by downloading and installing the INET framework. Read the INSTALLfile for further information.

Then you can gather initial experience by starting some examples or following atutorial or showcase (see the /examples, /showcases or /tutorials folder).After that, you can learn the NED language from the OMNeT++ manual & samplesimulations.

After that, you may write your own topologies using the NED language. You mayassign some of the submodule parameters in NED files. You may leave some ofthem unassigned.

Then, you may assign unassigned module parameters in omnetpp.ini of yoursimulation. (You can refer to sample simulations & manual for the content ofomnetpp.ini)

Finally, you will be ready to run your simulation. As you see, you may usethe INET framework without writing any C++ code, as long as you use theavailable modules.

To implement new protocols or modify existing ones, you'll need to add yourcode somewhere under the src directory. If you add new files under the 'src'directory you will need to regenerate the makefiles (using the 'make makefiles'command).

If you want to use external interfaces in INET, enable the "Emulation" featureeither in the IDE or using the inet_featuretool then regenerate the INET makefileusing 'make makefiles'.
