The ns-developers list is an open list where ns developers can discuss future changes to the simulator. From list inception (1997) through October 2022, this list was hosted by USC's Information Sciences Institute (ISI). List archives are available here:

• https://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/

From October 2022 onward, the list was converted to a Google group. List archives are available here:

• https://groups.google.com/g/ns-developers

Although anyone is welcome to subscribe to this list, if you are considering posting, please read the following about appropriate posting to this list. Most discussions are related to ns-3, since ns-2 is no longer actively developed.
