Tutorial abstract
We will start with an overview of the history, core design team, and design goals of the ns-3 network simulator. We will then go through software code snippets of the various components of ns-3, including the basic event scheduler, the smart pointer class, the function of the Object class, the use of the QueryInterface design approach, and the design of the Packet object. We will then go through a number of example programs, demonstrating how to construct a topology, add data flows, monitor the state of the simulation, and analyze results after the simulation has completed.

Prior to enrolling at Tech in 1996, Mr. Riley was president and CEO of Infoware, Inc. of Cocoa Beach Florida. From 1987 to 1996 Infoware provided software and system design services to the United States Air Force at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. During that time, Infoware designed, implemented, and deployed numerous systems in support the missile launch activities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, including a communications front-end processor for real-time data gathering and a real-time distributed flight safety display system.
