Aim : to promote the research in NS-3 open source simulation software with free GPL license) with Advanced features to visualize, trace the logging, animate the networks virtually and emulate the test network in NS-3 before hardware implementation. 

Objective : Providing Practical and Theoretical training related to NS-3 simulator.

Content: 

Introduction of use of NS-3 simulator and features

NS-3 Installation, 

Bake installation with all modules & development package for research

Tarball installation with all modules 

Basic programming console (python and C++), how to use the simulator,

Develop the NS-3 code with explanation from basic step

Basic programs execution (build, compile, run) in NS-3

Simulate all wireless scenarios and also examples programs for easy understanding  

Verifying and tracing output using real world software (graphically, visually, Animated, logging).

optional : Basic procedures for including modules, 

Adding protocols/modules in specific, testing the protocol.
