What is Javis?

Java Network Visualiser (Javis) is the re-implementation of the Network Animator (Nam) in Java. The latest release is Javis2.0. Javis and Nam share the same objective: showing Nam trace files created by the Network Simulator (NS) in a neat graphical way.

 

There are two versions of Javis2.0: one is the standalone version; the other one is the applet version. The standalone version is Javis that can run individually on any machine containing Java Development Kit 1.1.7 (JDK 1.1.7). The applet version, on the other hand, needs to be called by an html file with the appropriate command. Javis - applet version makes Nam trace files presentable via a web browser.

 

Even though Javis developers had tried really hard to implement Nam features in Javis, there are some Nam features which has not been implemented in Javis. They are depicted at Javis vs. Nam topic on the main menu.
