Research of Teaching on Network Course Based on NS-3

Due to the complexity of network, the original teaching method cannot meet the needs of development of network. Network simulation is an effective means of researching in network protocols. This paper introduces the principle and characteristic of NS-3, proposes using open source software NS-3 as an assistant means to improve the teaching quality, and also discusses the application of NS-3 in network education as well. An example is provided at the end of this paper.
