Abstract :
This paper is intended to help instructors integrate the use of computer simulation methodologies in senior and graduate level courses in telecommunications and computer networks design. It outlines how the course and its laboratory can be organized, and recommends a set of projects, textbooks, and articles that could be used in the course. This paper reviews the obstacles that for years have prevented the successful use of computer simulation in the design and management of communication networks and offers strategies to overcome them
