Yes, 
and as far as I know, its main limitation is that you have to write
code specifically for NS-3, which you can not re-use in real world. In
our university (Trento) we use mininet, which is ok if you're
developing things >= layer 3. There are some ideas to mix it with NS3
channel model [1], but we're not in it still.
