Re: [ns] Ns-users Digest, Vol 45, Issue 4

2007-09-04 Thread kenneth nwizege

i have a problem the foloowing problem in NS2
  (1) How to allocate buffer size
   
  (2) why is that +(Enqueue) and - (Dequeue) in trace files are sometime the 
same, when Enqueue means Arrival at the queue and Dequeue is departing , what 
is the reeason behind this?
  (3) How do i calculate Throughput and Jitter from the data in my trace file?
  (4) How do i calculate Loss rate from the information in my  trace file.
  (5) how do i calcualte my sending time, because the trace file i got did not 
have sending time(s) what do i do?
  (6) can any one let me know how i can simply get the total (+), (-) , (r), in 
my trace file?
   
  thank you very much.

Hi,
I am looking for some help in wireless ad-hoc routing in NS2 (version 2.31).
I am pretty new with NS-2 and going through the documentation.

I have a new routing protocol and I want to simulate it in NS2 but I have 
many problems with it. 

I saw that the others also had same problems but the document in 
http://masimum.dif.um.es/nsrt-howto/pdf/nsrt-howto.pdf
help them but It does not work. 
Can you help me about this?

The Network Simulator ns-2: Frequently Asked Questions

(This FAQ is also on the web at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-faq.html.)

* _Where do I get ns?_

>From the ns web site at http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns.html and
the download page http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-tests.html.

* _What platforms does ns run on and what kind of hardware do I
need?_

Please see "where to start" on the building ns web page:
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html#start.

* _What should I do if I have trouble downloading/extracting ns?_

This question is answered in detail at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html#downloading.

* _What should I do if I encounter problems building ns?_

Check:
1. the README that comes in the distribution (very brief),
2. the "installation problems, bug fixes and help" web page
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html,
3. the archives of the ns-users mailing list
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-lists.html,
4. post a bug report (see below)
http://www.isi.edu/cgi-bin/nsnam/reportbug.cgi.

* _What do I do after I successfully build ns?_

+ Put the path to your ns executable into your PATH environment
+ Put the path to your otcl into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment
+ Put the path to your tcl library into your TCL_LIBRARY
environment

* _Where can I find documentation for ns?_

All documentation is linked from the main ns web page
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/. Documentation includes a tutorial
(originally from Marc Greis) and a reference manual (ns notes and
documentation).

* _Words, words, words... that documentation is nice, but where are
some sample scripts I can start from?_

Many sample scripts can be found in the ns distribution in
~ns-2/tcl/ex and ~ns-2/tcl/test.

* _What protocols does ns support?_

A lot! Almost all variants of TCP, several forms of multicast,
wired networking, several ad hoc routing protocols and propagation
models (but not cellular phones), data diffusion, satellite, and
other stuff. See the documentation (described above) for details,
or download ns and look.

* _How do I know that ns correctly implements these protocols?_

Ns has validation tests that cover many protocols, see
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-tests.html. However, ultimately
users are responsible for verifying that ns is accurate for their
purposes---since we cannot foresee all the ways ns may be used, we
cannot test all cases with all inputs.

* _Are there any contributed/additional protocols not in the main
distribution?_

Yes, please see the contributed code web page
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-contributed.html. The mailing list
archives can also be helpful (see below).

* _How should I get started doing something (like implementing a new
protocol or trying an experiment)?_

We recommend that you look through the tutorial (see
documentation, above), then start with an example program that is
most similar to yours (in the tutorial, or in tcl/ex or tcl/test
in the distribution), and then start changing things.

* _What should I do to compile ns to reflect my changes if I've
modified some .cc or .h files?_

go to ns directory and run "make" or "make depend; make"

* _How do I subscribe to the ns-users mailing list? How do I search
old list archives? I can't take any more---how do I get off this
list?_

To subscribe or unsubscribe, see
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-lists.html. The list archive is at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-lists.html.

* _What if I have a question that's not answered here?_

If you've checked the installation problems and bug fixes web page
(http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html) and there's no
answer to your question, you may want to f

Plz see the following awk scripts that calcualate the following
 Performance Metrics Used
 Routing Overhead
 Normalize Routing Load
 Packet Delivery Fraction
 Average End to End delay
 Jitter
 Drop Packets

These scripts work with new trace format and DSR protocol. Make changes for 
other protocols.

As an example, if you want to calculate throughput,

awk -f throughput.awk output.tr

[ns] printing the ackno

2007-09-04 Thread Sebastian Harko

Hello,
I want to print the "acknowledgment number" of every ACK in the terminal...
So I went to tcp.cc ( "newack" method ) and I did this:

cout << "ACK number is: " << tcph->ackno_ << endl;

but all the ACK numbers it prints for a simple simulation are equal to
zero...
note that i was able to print the correct sequence numbers using the exact
same approach.
what am i doing wrong ?

[ns] a question about Nils-Erik Mattsson's DCCP module

2007-09-04 Thread WangYaogong

I'm using Mattsson's DCCP module under ns-2.26. But when I simulate DCCP in 
large BDP networks, I sometimes get the following error and the program exits:

DCCPAckVector::sendAckVector - Failed to add ack vector to option: err -1, size 
256

I took a look at the source code and found that the error stems from the length 
of the options exceeding DCCP_OPT_MAX_LENGTH(=255 by default). So I set the 
macro to be 1023, hoping that would solve the problem. But when I run the 
simulation again after modifying the macro, I get some other errors:

21.610164, DCCP/TCPlike(_o216)::send_packetRecv() - No ack vector on 
acknowledgment!
21.610184, DCCP/TCPlike(_o216)::processOption() - ECN check failed!

The only change I made to the source code is just setting the value of the 
macro bigger. I don't know what's wrong. Can anyone help me?

I am pretty new with NS-2 and going through the documentation.

I have a new routing protocol and I want to simulate it in NS2 but I have 
many  problems with it. 

I saw that the others also had same problems but the document in

Can you help me about this?
