NS3 Tutorial

Ns3 Tutorial on Various Network Domain.

Quick Intro About Ns3 Network simulator: – [Ns3 Tutorial]

  • Ns3 uses the waf build system
  • It’s simulation programs are C++ executable or python scripts
  • Developed after the network simulator 2 tool

Features of NS3 Network Simulator [ Ns3 Tutorial]

  • Can be connected to a real network
  • It’s a discrete event simulator
  • Tracing facility for getting output.
  • Build using C++ and also python binding is available.

Basics of NS3 Network Simulator [NS3 Tutorial]

  • It’s a network simulator
  • Ns-3 was written using the C++ languages
  • Binding in python language
  • This is developed for network research and education

Characteristics of ns3:

  • Live visualize
  • Direct code execution
  • Logging facility for debugging
  • Modular design/Open source

Actively developed
Sample code for udpechoclient application of ns3:
UdpEchoClientHelper echoClient (csmaInterfaces.GetAddress (nCsma), 9);
echoClient.SetAttribute (“MaxPackets”, UintegerValue (1));
echoClient.SetAttribute (“Interval”, TimeValue (Seconds (1.0)));
echoClient.SetAttribute (“PacketSize”, UintegerValue (1024));
ApplicationContainer clientApps = echoClient.Install (p2pNodes.Get (0));
clientApps.Start (Seconds (2.0));
clientApps.Stop (Seconds (10.0));

Procedures to writing script in ns3:

  • Including necessary files
  • Use appropriate name space
  • Set simulation time resolution
  • Enable logging for different modules
  • Creating codes
  • Create net devices with MAC and PHY
  • Attach Net devices to nodes and set interconnections
  • Install protocol stack in nodes
  • Set network address for interfaces
  • Setup routing
  • Install applications in nodes
  • Setup tracing
  • Set application start and stop time
  • Set simulation start time
  • Run simulation
  • Release resources at end of simulation
