Time needed: 5 minutes

Follow from Step 1 to Step 9 in order to create NS3 using Simulation projects. Quick guide to create NS3 simulation in Fedora. Reach us , if you want an customize NS3 simulation projects works for scholars.

1. Install needed packages

   Initilally, install the needed packages for the Ns-3 installations. For make a needed package installation we need to execute the following command in the terminal window.
   autoconf binutils openssh-server openssh-clients openssl python python-devel mercurial bzr scons flex bison tcpdump valgrind gdb

2. Download the allinone pacakge for ns-3

7. Validate waf

   Validate our installation by running one example , by using the following commands in the terminal window
   ./waf shell

8. Build waf command

   By using the following build waf commands in the terminal window
   cd build/optimized/examples/udp/udp-echo

9. Simulation result

   By using the following cd build/optimized/examples/udp/udp-echo and Use tcpdump to display the simulation result
   tcpdump -tt -r udp-echo-0-1.pcap
