NS Tutorials

We've given a number of ns tutorials. Slides for most of these are on-line below, and the June 1999 tutorial is available in real-audio format. (See below for details.)

• ISI ns tutorial 2002

• ETH Zurich ns workshop, Feb. 2000, Zurich.

• UCB ns workshop slides, June 1999

Slides and Demos from the UCB ns workshop held in UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, June 1999 are available.

In addition, this NS Tutorial is available live, on-line in Real Audio format. It is available on-line at "http://manic.cs.umass.edu" by the MANIC project at the University of Massachusetts.

The tutorial is presented as streaming audio (using RealAudio technology) synchronized with HTML slides. To view the tutorial (rather, to listen to it - there is no video), you will need a Win95/98/NT system, with Netscape and the RealAudio plugin.
We are working on a version to support Linux/Solaris users.
