So, it is the end of the semester, and Derek and I need to find a wireless network simulator, for to simulate a wireless network. The project is a random field of nodes with several trafic profiles, and a small number of mobile base-stations, which move to the location on the field which best serves the current trafic load.

Thus far I have looked arround:

• Abstract Network Model and J-Sim (funky low-level java),
• JiST / SWANS (funkier magic java),
• NAB (Ocaml and TCL, wtf?), and
• ns-2 (C++ and TCL, what is it with TCL?).

Now, the name of the game is to spend as little time studying to come up to speed on the simulator we do use as possible, seeing as this is not our only class (Derek and I have to write another sim for a distributed algorithms class). Anyone know of something nice and straight forward?
