Latex Tutorials and Templates
- The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List (Local Copy, downloaded in Dec 2007)]
- Simple latex template: use it to write progress reports and initial versions of papers. Use this sample bibliography file to manage references in your document.
- Simple template for writing algorithms in papers. Here is the macros file used. See the Selection Algorithm (Fig 5) in this paper for the final result of the template.]
- Some bibliography files (mostly on P2P): literature.bib literature2.bib

Hardware/Computing Resources in NSL
The figure below depicts the computing resources available in the Network Systems Lab.
Brief Description and Usage:
- nsl: Lab web and file server. Has about 1 TB of (RAID) storage.
- nsl-cpu: 8-core server. We use it to run simulations and large-scale experiments.
- nsl-win: Windows Terminal Server for remote access. It has most of the needed Microsoft software.
- nsl-cl: 11 machines interconnected through a fast Ethernet switch. They can be configured in different topologies to test our code. They could form an isolated network for experimentation. They also can be used for general processing such as running multiple replicas of a simulation code.
- PlanetLab WAN Testbed: Access to several hundred machines distributed all over the Internet. We use them for testing our systems in WAN environments.
- Wireless Sensor Testbed: For implementing and testing our protocols in the wireless sensor networks research area.
- Workstations: For use by students.
These computing resources are partially funded by an NSERC RTI Grant.
