Workshop On Network Simulation & Tools (NS3 and Omnet++)
February 4-9, 2017
About the course: A network simulator is software that predicts the behavior of a computer network. Since communication networks have become too complex for traditional analytical methods to provide an accurate understanding of system behavior, network simulators are used. In simulators, the computer network is typically modeled with devices, links, applications etc. and the performance is analyzed. A network simulator must enable a user to model the network topology specifying the nodes on the network, the links and traffic between those nodes providing network performance metrics as output.
The goal of this course is to provide knowledge on basic fundamentals of network simulators NS3 and Omnet++, generation of different network scenarios in these network simulators, understanding and implementation of existing as well as new modules and protocols of different networks like Wireless Sensor Network, Vehicular Ad-hoc Network, Internet of Things using frameworks like Veins, Castalia etc. in NS3 and Omnet++. Also, the course will cover the simulation environment of these simulators and performance analysis of these protocols.
