Description

Network simulator is a discrete event simulator, it is widely used in many research papers and protocol designprojects, it is free open source andhas a large scientific community, thus it is very well documented. This training is aiming to give the participant a solid background to start using NS2 as a simulator and a developing tool. We will use a project based approach to efficiently assimilate the NS2 modules and concepts to achieve the main goal of developing new extensions and protocols. 

Objectifs

On completion of this program, the participants will be able to:

• Understand what is a discrete event simulation.
• Describe the structure of network simulator 2.
• Run basic simulations script for wired and wireless networks in NS2 environment.

Advanced topics:

• Analyzing Trace files, generating graphs and performance evaluation.
• Modifying source codes, developing new modules and creating patches.

Prérequis

• Be familiar with basic computer programming.
• Know the basics of computer networks.
• Object oriented paradigm is recommended.
