OMNeT++
~~~~~~~
OMNeT++ is a public-source, component-based, modular and open-architecture
simulation environment with strong GUI support and an embeddable simulation
kernel. Its primary application area is the simulation of communication
networks, but it has been successfully used in other areas like the simulation
of IT systems, queueing networks, hardware architectures and business processes
as well.
OLD USERS:
If you have simulations written for OMNeT++ 3.x that you want to
port to 4.x, see the MIGRATION file, doc/migration.pdf, and the
scripts under migrate/!
If you installed the source distribution, the omnetpp directory on your system
should contain the following subdirectories. (If you installed a precompiled
distribution, some of the directories may be missing, or there might be
additional directories, e.g. containing software bundled with OMNeT++.)
The simulation system itself:
omnetpp/ OMNeT++ root directory
bin/ OMNeT++ executables (opp_run, nedtool, scavetool, etc.)
include/ header files for simulation models
lib/ library files
images/ icons that can be used in network graphics
doc/ manual (PDF), readme, license, etc.

The example simulations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The example simulations are designed to demonstrate many of the features of
OMNeT++. We recommend that you try tictoc first, which also has an
accompanying tutorial under doc/.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please see the Install Guide, doc/InstallGuide.pdf for specific instructions
for various operating systems, and to read about dependencies, optional
packages and build options.
Enjoy.
