Network simulation
(IITP, 2018 - 2022)
The course consists of series of labs focused on simulation of different wireless networks protocols. For most of the labs, an open source simulation platform NS-3 is used. I was co-teaching this course from 2018 to 2022 to BS and MS students of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Moscow State University at IITP RAS, Russia. This course is currently still being successfully taught.
