how can I use NS3 to simulate IoT, is there some model that should be added?
I'm studying RPL protocol security, and I found that the simulation could be done using NS3, but I don't know is there a model specific to IoT.
thank you

LoRaWAN ns-3 extension can be used to simulate IoT Networks. This is an ns-3 module that can be used to perform simulations of a LoRaWAN network. This module was developed by Davide Magrin and Martina Capuzzo of the Signet Lab at University of Padova’s Department of Information Engineering, under the supervision of Lorenzo Vangelista, Marco Centenaro, Andrea Zanella and Michele Zorzi.
The following is the NetAnim output of one such simulated mobile IoT scenario.

Currently, LR-WPAN (IEEE 802.15.4) module is available in ns3, which is one of the IoT technologies. You can use RPL in Tree or/and mesh typologies due to the RPL nature. Also, LoRaWAN module is available for ns3 (you can find on github), which is also IoT technology. However, LoRaWAN currently supports star of star topology. If you extend it to multi-hop, then you can use RPL as routing protocol in LoRaWAN.
