Agenda

Monday

Monday training was divided into four sessions that covered the basics of ns-3, setting the stage for some more detailed coverage of specific models in the following day.

Session 1 slides: pdf,pptx

Session 2 slides: pdf,pptx

Session 3 slides: pdf,pptx

Queue experiment: exercise,solution

Tuesday

Session 1: TCP

Survey the available TCP models for ns-3 and walk through an example program that examines TCP performance over a link with variable bandwidth, delay, and packet error rate.

TCP session slides: pdf,pptx

Bake/DCE slides:

See below for previous ns-3 training video on DCE by a DCE maintainer.

Session 2: Wi-Fi (S. Deronne)

Slides: pdf

Session 3: LTE (Z. Ali)

Zoraze Ali will lead an introduction of the LTE module by walking through the execution and trace output of several LTE example programs (see handout below).

Slides: pdf

Handout: LTE hands-on tutorial

Session 4: Sensor networks (T. Pecorella and D. Magrin)

Tommaso Pecorella and Davide Magrin introduced the sensor network-related models available for ns-3.

Slides:

  • Tommaso's slides: pptx
  • Davide's slides: pdf
  • Davide's demo: pdf

Software

More detailed information is available in this document, but in summary, to obtain and build the training code:

1) Make sure you have 'git', 'mercurial', 'python', and a C++ compiler installed (g++ or clang++)

2) Download and build as follows:

 $ git clone -b training https://gitlab.com/tomhenderson/ns-3-allinone.git
 $ cd ns-3-allinone
 $ ./download.py -b training
 $ ./build.py -- --enable-examples --enable-tests
 $ cd ns-3-dev

The arguments passed to ./build.py (--enable-examples --enable-tests) are separated by two dash characters '--'; this ensures that those options are passed on to the Waf build system.

After the above, you should have a working ns-3 installation (debug build) that is in sync with a very recent changeset of ns-3-dev. You can check it by running some of the tutorial programs:

 $ ./waf --run first

To update the code at a future date, you can perform a 'git pull' while in ns-3-dev.

Other utilities needed

We will be using gnuplot and matplotlib in some scripts.

We have shown other extension in the course of presenting the material. Please see the Installation page for information about extra packages that are needed for installing dependencies for PyViz, tcpdump, netanim, and DCE.
