We are two or three lectures (the spanish word 'profesor' can be misunderstood in english) working with NS-2. We started half year ago, more or less. A colleague of mine and myself are working about routing protocols in wireless networks. Just understanding them and simulating some scenarios. Another colleague is designing a multicast protocol (with wired networks). Finally, we have an optional subject in Telecommunications Engineering called "network simulations" which we use NS-2 with. Pupils start with the program and they build some simple simulations. We are far from being experts, of course. I hope it helps Regards, Salvador Luna. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 9:47 PM Subject: Enc: Re: [Ns-edu] More information... Hi, Thank you all for your answers. Just to be clear, I´m not looking for ns documentation or tutorials. We have already been working with ns-2 for almost 2 years and we have a big ns-expert here in our project (after a long long time of headaches and difficulties :) I´m writing a paper about this graphical interface I developed for ns, so I was looking for other papers or studies on the same subject, so that I could compare and analyse them. Thanks S Puangpronpitag, you offered me a a lot of good examples. I already looked up the ns website for more info, but found none. I´ll try google again, maybe my choice for words for the query was wrong. I´ll sure post here as soon as our project is done. It´s basicly an Applet interface to design the network, then the topology information is sent to the webserver through normal HTML POST method. On the server, php scripts treat the information and a TCL script generates the TCL script to be used by ns. After that the user is sent to a page where he/she can analyse the results and download the tcl script and the nam and ns trace files. Also, professor Salvador, I´m interested about your researches. Could you send me some more information, please? Sabrina Leandro http://www.ucer.nurcad.ufsc.br UFSC - Brasil.
