Network Simulation is the most sought after research field, and it has now become an integral part of many research projects like commercial applications and academic research. The networking and communications domain ranges from finding friends on social networking sites to medical diagnosis to smart cities implementation and even satellite processing. In this book, we have made an honest effort to make the concepts of network simulation easy—all the basics programs are explained in an easy and simple manner in the NS2 simulator, right from the installation part. As the real-time application of networking and communications is endless, the basic concepts and algorithms are discussed using the NS2 simulator so that everyone—from graduate students to researchers—can benefit from this book.
