Conclusion

Futures

This document is a work in process. We hope and expect it to grow over time to cover more and more of the nuts and bolts of ns-3.

We hope to add the following chapters over the next few releases:

  • The Callback System
  • The Object System and Memory Management
  • The Routing System
  • Adding a New NetDevice and Channel
  • Adding a New Protocol
  • Working with Real Networks and Hosts

Writing manual and tutorial chapters is not something we all get excited about, but it is very important to the project. If you are an expert in one of these areas, please consider contributing to ns-3 by providing one of these chapters; or any other chapter you may think is important.

Closing

ns-3 is a large and complicated system. It is impossible to cover all of the things you will need to know in one small tutorial.

We have really just scratched the surface of ns-3 in this tutorial, but we hope to have covered enough to get you started doing useful networking research using our favorite simulator.
