Course Overview
|
Course Synopsis
|
This is a very fundamental level course on the subject of network modeling and simulation. In this course, you will learn the basic concepts about modeling in the context of computer networks. For simulation part, we will be using OMNET++ simulator. You will learn how to use this simulator and perform network analysis on the basis of results collected from simulation.
