	OMNeT++	NS-3	5G-air-simulator	Yet Another MANET Simulator	MASEMUL
Can it simulate MANETs?	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Can users perform simulations without learning any domain-specific language?	✗	✓	✓	✓	✓
Is it written in a general-purpose programming language (e.g., C++/Java)?	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Can you define strategies that directly access the movement vector of each device?	✗	✗	✗	✗	✓
Can it simulate movement-aware strategies?	✗	✗	✗	✗	✓
Can the strategies be defined with an agent-based simulation approach by defining autonomous behaviors in the network nodes?	✗	✗	✗	✗	✓
