Exercise in Network Computing
| Course Purpose |
|---|
| The purpose of this course is for students to obtain skills on network protocol analysis and design using a network simulator through understanding of a DTN (Delay/Disruption-Tolerant) network simulator written in the Python language and conducting automated execution and statistical analysis of network simulations. |
| Learning Goals |
| Students will be able to - operate the Debian GNU/Linux operating system - understand the fundamentals and pros/cons of the Python language - understand the fundamentals and the principles of network simulators, and - conduct automated executions and analyses of computer simulations. |
