Avaliação de simuladores para o ensino de IOT em redes de computadores

Abstract

With the growth of the internet of things, it becomes necessary to simulate networks, which is an essential technique for the study and evaluation of application performance. The use of network simulators is of fundamental importance in the process of new research, development of new network protocols and analysis of network performance, as well as in the development of new technologies. In relation to teaching, simulators are tools that can play an important role, contributing in a significant way to a better understanding of the content by the students. This work has the general purpose of demonstrating the benefits of using simulators in teaching in the area of IoT. For this, we evaluated three available simulators: Cooja, TOSSIM and ns-3, considering their main characteristics, resources and protocols available.
