NS2 is an event-driven network simulator that models wired and wireless networks, including satellite links, using a C++ backend and an OTcl frontend.
Explore OTcl, the language used in NS2, covering objects, classes, attributes, procedures, constructors and destructors, and inheritance with examples of person and employee objects.
Learn to generate mobility patterns with the Bonnmotion utility, applying the Manhattan grid mobility model and exporting ns-2 compatible mobility files for network simulations.
Explore how the dynamic source routing protocol operates as a reactive routing approach. Demonstrate route discovery and maintenance using route requests, replies, and route caches.
Explore promiscuous mode in a new ns2 protocol and see how enabling it lets nearby nodes access neighbor packets. Follow setup and build steps to implement and observe the behavior.
Add a malicious node in a new NS2 protocol by enabling a malicious flag to drop packets, then analyze its impact on network performance during simulation.
Automate NS2 simulations with the mission script, including downloading, extracting, preparing mobility files, running repeated simulations, collecting results, and preparing data for plotting in the next lecture.
Network is an essential part of life. Without a network, it is impossible to live up the digital life. Along with the pros, there are cons. Security is an essential part of the network. Network Simulator (NS2) is a powerful open source network simulation tool. In this course, NS2 is discussed with hands on and plenty of examples. Many tools and techniques are covered with the support of shared resources. A candidate (student/researcher/industry person) who is willing to learn NS2 in depth, this is the right course for you!
This course is designed to learn NS2 from scratch to the level of implementing own routing protocol.
The course will help you to set a strong programming foundation. It will help you to be an expert in C programming. The course will help you to face any IT interview confidently.
Enjoy NS2 development!!!
