Analysis of the NS-3 module QKDNetSim for the Simulation of QKD NetworksAuthor(s)

[Abstract] Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising technology that allows two nodes to
privately agree on a key through a quantum channel. Unfortunately, QKD is still in experimental
phase and researchers must rely on simulators to replicate the behaviour of a quantum network.
One of the most widespread is QKDNetSim, a module for the C++ network simulator NS-3.
However, this module is very limited in its behaviour, so it does not faithfully represent a real
quantum network. In this work we analyse the structure and components of QKDNetSim, as well
as its shortcomings and how they affect the quality of the simulation
