There are two answers to that question.
If you want to cite the software itself, you can cite:

S. McCanne and S. Floyd. ns Network 
Simulator. http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/.

and/or the manual:


Kevin Fall, Kannan Varadhan, and the VINT project.
  The ns manual.
    <http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/ns_doc.pdf>
    <http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/ns_doc.ps.gz>
    <http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/index.html>



If you want something published in a refereed location,

is a good choice.
