Overview
An energy-aware simulation toolbox for wired networks
The main goal of the ECOFEN (Energy Consumption mOdel For End-to-end Networks) simulator is to provide a simulating environment for large-scale wired networks where users can obtain the energy consumption of their new protocols, algorithms and frameworks involving different types of technologies and equipments.
The ECOFEN simulator has been integrated as a new module within ns-3 which is a discrete-event network simulator in which the simulation core and models are implemented in C++.
