This is the wiki page for the ns-3 training sessions that will be conducted on 12 June, 2017 in Porto. For a list of all past training sessions, see Training.

Agenda

Training will be held from 09:00-18:00 at FEUP. Please plan to arrive 15-30 minutes beforehand so we may start at 09:00.

There will be a morning and afternoon coffee break, and canteen lunch provided (lunch break from 12:00-13:30).

Slides will be posted here:

Registration

Please make sure that you are registered for training; nametags will be provided.

Remote participation

We plan to make video recordings of the session available at a later date but have no plans for live remote participation.

Preparation

Nothing is strictly required, but working through the ns-3 tutorial should be helpful, if you haven't already.

You do not need to install anything to attend the training, but the below instructions are provided for those who may want to follow along.

Installation of ns-3 to your local system

Please see the Installation page on our wiki for per-system package requirements if you want to install ns-3, and follow instructions at this tutorial link on how to download ns-3.

Note that the minimal requirements for working from the command line are a recent C++ compiler (g++ or clang), and a Python (version 2.7 or greater) installation. The additional packages enable additional optional simulation features but can be skipped until needed.

Trying ns-3 on a Live ISO image

A 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04 Live DVD (ISO) is posted for download at this link. The ISO has prerequisite packages pre-installed and a recent copy of ns-3 source code.

You may want to use this ISO file with a virtual machine tool such as VMware or VirtualBox.

  • sha1 checksum (sha1sum) of the ISO image: bad812908e8bfd569c710c5c59b3c082e2671ab7
  • file size of the download: 3.2 GB
  • username: ns-3
  • password: ns-3
  • recommended virtual machine resources (if you install to a VM): 40 GB HDD, 3 GB memory

This is a Live ISO image that can be booted repeatedly without saving state, or can be installed to a virtual or real drive. The Systemback utility was used to create the image, and can be used to install the system as well. To install, select the green icon in the panel to bring up the below dialog box, fill in the account information (for the system to be created) and then hit Next and follow the instructions.
