Summary
Congratulations on successfully learning about ns-3’s important features! This will help you to handle complex simulation information, errors, and crashes using logging and debugging.
After learning about the logging and debugging features, you will feel comfortable with handling a variety of simulation errors or crashes quickly. In particular, learning how to use the ns-3 tracing feature is highly useful to understand various protocols and inspect important parameters at various levels. ns-3 tracing simplifies how to use various modules nodes, network devices, protocols, and algorithms in user simulations without making any changes to existing modules.
As you’ve learned how to use Flow Monitor in your simulations, this will save you a lot of time in collecting network performance metrics such as throughput, delay, and packet loss details for validating simulation results. As part of this chapter, besides learning how to validate simulation results, you...
