INET is a framework that utilizes the modules of the OMNeT++ simulator to provide various protocols, agents, and other models for simulating wired, wireless, and mobile networks. By combining the modules of INET, we can configure a network and implement interactions between network components through message transmission and reception among the modules. Researchers can also implement new modules or modify existing ones using the C++ language as needed and apply them to the network configuration. This paper explains the method of network simulation using INET modules by providing a simple network and simulating data transmission and reception. Through this, researchers can utilize the various models of the INET framework to configure the necessary network and experiment its performance.

OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++) is an extensible and modular C++ simulation library and framework for building network simulators. OMNeT++ provides simulation models independently developed for various fields, including sensor networks, and Internet protocols. This enables researchers to use the tools and features required for their desired simulations. OMNeT++ uses NED (Network Description) Language to define nodes and network topologies, and it is able to implement the creation and behavior of defined network objects in C++. Moreover, the INET framework is an open-source model library for the OMNeT++ simulation environment, containing models for various networking protocols and components, making it convenient for designing and validating new network protocols. This paper aims to explain the concepts of OMNeT++ and the procedures for network simulation using the INET framework to assist novice researchers in modeling and analyzing various network scenarios.
