This wiki complements the main ns-3 web site, the app store, and our GitLab.com development site. We thank GitLab.com for their open source program, in which we participate.
The main use of the wiki is for storing our Roadmap, links to meeting materials, and other pieces of documentation. Please note that some content of this wiki may be stale and not edited for the past 10-15 years, so check the history of the page if you are unsure (and help us to freshen pages if you can!).
Account Policy: Due to spam problems, we have disabled the ability to create new accounts and to edit/move pages without moderator approval; our experience on the ns-2 wiki with Mediawiki captchas has been ineffective. If you would like to edit this wiki, please email webmaster@nsnam.org with your preferred username (different from your email address; see these guidelines) and we will create the account and enable it for write privileges.
Note: ns-2 has a separate wiki, at https://nsnam.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
