    28 This document is a work in process.  We hope and expect it to grow over time

    29 to cover more and more of the nuts and bolts of @command{ns-3}.  

    30 

    31 We hope to add the following chapters over the next few releases:

    32 

    33 @itemize @bullet

    34 @item The Callback System

    35 @item The Object System and Memory Management

    36 @item The Routing System

    37 @item Adding a New NetDevice and Channel

    38 @item Adding a New Protocol

    39 @item Working with Real Networks and Hosts

    40 @end itemize

    41 

    42 Writing manual and tutorial chapters is not something we all get excited about,

    43 but it is very important to the project.  If you are an expert in one of these

    44 areas, please consider contributing to @command{ns-3} by providing one of these

    45 chapters; or any other chapter you may think is important.

    53 @code{ns-3} is a large and complicated system.  It is impossible to cover all 

    54 of the things you will need to know in one small tutorial.

    55 

    56 We have really just scratched the surface of @command{ns-3} in this tutorial, 

    57 but we hope to have covered enough to get you started doing useful networking 

    58 research using our favorite simulator.
