  1. Network Simulation and Testing Polly Huang EE NTU http://cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~phuang phuang@cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw

  2. Vital Information • Course : 網路模擬與測試 • Taught by : 黃寶儀 • Class No. : 921 U7400 • Credit : 3 units

  3. For Some of You • The first non-English course taught in English • All communication in English, including • Lectures • Homework • Exams • In/off-class interaction

  4. Be Aware • Homework and exams are accepted only in English • Credits are granted only when the English is comprehensible

  5. Though to avoid confusion… • Please make sure your names are clearly written in Chinese.

  6. Think of it this way: I get to be an exchange student without going physically abroad.

  7. Some Suggestions • Read the corresponding material/slides before a lecture • Review the recording of a lecture speech • Lectures will be recorded and put available in mp3 format

  8. How many still wants to sign up for the course?

  15. Office Hour • By appointment • Vote for a common slot next week

  16. Background Knowledge • Advanced courses on data networks • There will be networking terms that I assume you have learned about at some point. • The tools are all data network specific. You’ll definitely need to know how the TCP/IP network works and the advanced research-oriented ideas. • This will be a difficult course if you do not have sufficient background.

  17. Software Skill • Unix • C/C++ • Experience with scripting language

  18. Equipment Requirement • A laptop of your manipulation • Installing FreeBSD • Installing tools • Bringing in-class some Friday afternoons • Alternatively • A PC of your manipulation • A Laptop with network capability for some Friday afternoons

  20. Nature • An advanced course on networks experiments • Basics • Tools • Real experiments • For graduates students • Serious • Responsible • Spontaneous

  21. Objectives • Revisiting the fundamental experimental design and analysis • Examine the workload model and experimental design suitable for network research • Emphasizing the details of measurement, simulation, and testing tools for network research • Practical training of theory learned in real-world problems

  22. Scope • The network experiments • Performance evaluation in general • The target system, I.e. data network • The system • The workload • The metrics • The tools • ns-2 • dummynet • tcpdump and libpcap
