ns-3 uses python bindings as middleware to call C++ functions from python. ns-3 codebase comes with an API framework to scan the C++ modules and create corresponding python binding. The aim of this task is to scan the core module in ns-3 codebase and write about the steps followed and issues faced and how they were resolved.

The API scanning toolchain is only presently supported for Linux/gcc. Supporting on MacOS/clang is an open issue: https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/issues/93

The student is expected to do the following:

1. Install bake in ns-3.
2. Make sure to have all the dependency called out for API scanning
3. Follow the binding generation step from the reference link and scan the core module
4. Submit a report for evaluation with the generated files.
