Dear All, 

does the ns3 support the IOT or not ? if yes , does the ns3 have the abbility to build a secure smart home?

Hi,

IoT (Internet of Things) is so broad that I can not be sure if I should answer with yes or no.

NS-3 has already implemented several communication technologies that are used for IoT.

In principle, it is not NS-3's ability to be tested, but the user's/developer's ability and time that are tested...

So, I would reverse the question, what exactly (protocols, netdevices types etc) are you looking for? 

Regards,

K.

Dear Konstantinous,
Im looking for 6lowpan routing protocol used to build smart home >>

I need one gateway with many sensors limited in power , what I need exactly to used 6lowpan routing protocol with COAP application layer approach 

[Konstantinos]

I would recommend to study the ns-3 documentation on what is implemented and what is each modules limitations.

6LowPan is implemented https://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html/sixlowpan.html / https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/Lr-wpan

For routing you can use any IPv6 protocol in NS-3. If you want one in particular you might have to implemented.

Energy module is also implemented in NS-3 but the current module only works with WiFi devices https://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html/energy.html

COAP application is not implemented.
