Modeling and Simulating Communications Networks: A Hands-on Approach Using OPNET

Rating:
Summary: Outdated
Review: Although the book provides insightful examples of how OPNET can be used as an effective network simulation tool, the tutorials are written based on an old version of OPNET and the examples bear no resemblance to the tool as it is shipped today.

NOT A GOOD WAY TO LEARN OPNET VERSIONS > 3.5

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money
Review: If you are trying to learn OPNET 5.1, then look for another book. Even though the publishing date of this book is listed as December of 1999, it is NOT written for the current version of OPNET (OPNET 5.1, which was released last year).

The book does provide an e-mail address for comments regarding the book. However my queries to that address regarding this problem have gone unanswered.

Profoundly disappointing.

Summary: Thoroughly outdated
Review: Though the basic ideas given in this book are quite relevant to using OPNET, the GUI and other interfaces being used in the current version of OPNET are radically different. The only plus point of the book are the projects that the user can utilize. I have been working with OPNET for a year now and I think that the online help that comes with the software is a much better way of learning OPNET than to spend on this book!!!!
