The tool AgentJ - written by Ian Taylor for NRL - allows for performing simulations of Java application with the network simulator Ns2. However, it was not capable of instantiating Java routing agents.

Hipercom@LIX proposes a modification of AgentJ, which enables direct use of routing protocols implemented in Java - and without requiring modifications of such routing protocol implementations.

This extension to AgentJ is integrated in the nightly builds of AgentJ and has been extensively tested with the Java implementation of OLSRv2 called JOLSRv2
