Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am looking for a network simulator or emulator that will allow me to create a topology with virtual hosts such as "client1" "client2", and allow me to attach my own applications to them to generate traffic. As far as I understand, NS is a network simulator that generates its own traffic by attaching agents and such, with no option for you to use your own applications to generate traffic.
Well, you can use networked virtual systems under Xen, UML or VMWare. Since you would be running complete virtual systems, you would have full control over the applications originating the data. The downside is that you would need the aggregate resources needed to run the number of virtual systems your simulation requires.
