Fullerenes get the headlines, but nanoscale materials science has a much longer, stranger history — from dichroic Roman glass to Damascus steel.
A working explanation of the open-source ns-3 discrete-event simulator: how it models networks, who uses it, and where it fits in a research workflow.
OMNeT++ provides the simulation engine; INET supplies the protocol models. Here is how the two fit together and where each pulls its weight.
The three main ways to evaluate a network protocol trade off realism, cost, and reproducibility very differently. A practical guide to picking the right one.
How simulated and emulated network environments let security teams train against realistic attacks without risking production systems.
