Detailed Description

The "core" module contains:

• a time management class to hold a time and convert between various time units: ns3::Time
• a scheduler base class used to implement new simulation event schedulers: ns3::Scheduler and ns3::SchedulerFactory
• a simulator class used to create, schedule and cancel events: ns3::Simulator
• a Functor class: ns3::Callback
• an os-independent interface to get access to the elapsed wall clock time: ns3::SystemWallClockMs
• a class to register regression tests with the test manager: ns3::Test and ns3::TestManager
• debugging facilities: Logging, Assert
• Random Variable Distributions
• a base class for objects which need to support per-instance "attributes" and trace sources: ns3::ObjectBase
• a base class for objects which need to support reference counting and dynamic object aggregation: ns3::Object
• a smart-pointer class ns3::Ptr designed to work together with ns3::Object
• a configuration class used to set and control all attributes and trace sources in a simulation: ns3::Config.
