OMNeT++ Discrete Event Simulator

INET-4.7.0 Released

Jul 7, 2026

This is a new feature release in the INET 4.x branch. The central theme of this release is the maturation of the IPv6 protocol family, bringing it substantially closer to feature parity with IPv4. Highlights include a new declarative IPv6 network configurator, IPv6 multicast routing (MLD, and PIM-DM/PIM-SM over IPv6), node lifecycle support, Duplicate Address Detection, a modernized Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) model with new Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) support, and IPv6 support in BGP (MP-BGP) and IPsec. Outside the IPv6 area, the release brings satellite and GNSS track mobility models with geographic visualization, a substantial overhaul of the STP and RSTP spanning tree models, major BGP improvements, TCP Path MTU Discovery, and a configurable RNG grouping mechanism. The release also contains numerous smaller improvements and bug fixes. Requires OMNeT++ 6.4 or later.

What’s Inside?

Chat directly with Qtenv: A new integrated chat interface in Qtenv lets you interact with LLM services (both cloud-based and local models like Ollama) without leaving the simulation window.
AI-Controlled Simulations: Built on the standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), the simulation hosts an MCP server. This allows LLMs to query and programmatically manipulate your active simulations in real time.
On-the-Fly C++ Execution (Linux-only): The LLM can generate and run custom C++ snippets using a JIT interpreter to inspect complex data structures and answer highly specific queries. (Launched safely via the opp_sandbox utility).

See It in Action

We have prepared two practical, hands-on showcases to demonstrate these features:

Finding a 3-Way Collision in Aloha – Watch an AI agent pinpoint a rare collision event.
Diagnosing Clock Sync Anomalies in TSN – Witness an AI co-pilot perform root-cause analysis on a Time-Sensitive Network.

INET-4.6.0 Released

Feb 20, 2026

This is a new feature release in the INET 4.x branch. Highlights include new protocol implementations for QUIC, Ethernet 10BASE-T1S, IPsec, and MRP; major refinements to the clock model; a reimplementation of IEEE 802.1AS (gPTP); and an important refactoring of the wireless physical layer's analog domain. The release continues to focus on improving correctness, accuracy, modularity, and long-term maintainability while addressing several long-standing limitations. Requires OMNeT++ 6.2 or later.
