NS-3 to replace NS-2?

Have you tried out NS-3?

This is what I got from http://www.nsnam.org/ official website of NS-3.

"ns-3 is intended as an eventual replacement for the popular ns-2 simulator. The project acronym “nsnam” derives historically from the concatenation of ns (network simulator) and nam (network animator). "

From user point of view, I noticed the main difference between NS-3 and NS-2 is the changes in language. Now NS-3 is using C++ and phyton, compared to NS-2 which used C and oTCL.

This means that for those who learn TCL for the sake of using NS-2 now need to learn other language for using NS-3.

Start from zero!
