Note: This page describes the training activities of the University of Washington NS-3 Consortium which is no longer operating, and this page is for historical reference.

ns-3 training sessions are fee-based events intended to both educate new users and raise funding for the project. ns-3 Consortium members may designate attendees (1 for small companies and universities and 2 for large companies) to attend training for free as part of their membership. Student training is offered at reduced rates.
