Research Based Approach on NS-2 for Post Graduation Course

In order to emphasize research at post graduatelevel it is essential for making teachers and students aware of the importance of acquiring essential research skills along with technical skills through the project based learning activity to promote post graduate students like Master of Computer Applications towards research. An attempt is made to promote their interest towards computer networks using Network Simulator-2 to build their own network topology, protocol and performance analysis of different protocols, which they have studied in theoretical approach can be simulated using NS-2 tool and a prototype of various network topologies can be built to enhance interest among students to carry out research based projects using NS-2.
