Network simulation is the most useful and common methodology used to evaluate different network to-pologies without real world implementation. Network simulators are widely used by the research community to evaluate new theories and hypotheses. There are a number of network simulators, for instance, ns-3, GNS3, Putty, Cisco packet Tracer, Secure CRT, Wireshark and SNMP etc. Therefore, the selection of a network simulator for evaluating research work is a crucial task for researchers. The main focus of this paper is to compare the state-of-the-art, open source network simulators based on the following parameters: mean, standard deviation,standard error,skew,mediany by simulating a MANET routing protocol, to identify an optimal network simulator for the research community.
