sfq_codel in ns2 is derived more from SFQ than DRR, and there are
several substantial differences, although sfq_codel can be almost,

is more similar to "DRR+" and "DRR++", but is uniquely it's own.
You have to use sfq_codel VERY carefully in the ns2 version, as the
ability to correctly generate a five tuple hash is not there.
Correctly generating a 5 tuple is almost, but not quite, in the ns3
version, last I looked, and that ns3 version is MUCH closer to the
actual fq_codel version deployed in the field, but still not quite the
same thing. I have kind of lost track as to the right ns2 and ns3
versions to start from, also. Tom?
Dave and all,
The status of ns-2 and ns-3 support is as follows.
In ns-2, some new models (CoDel, SFQCoDel, CoDel-DT, and PIE)
contributed by Kathleen Nichols, CableLabs, and Cisco will be part of
the ns-2.36 release, which is in preparation. An initial release
candidate was posted here:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Roadmap#Release_candidates_for_testing
and the code in the CVS tree is consistent with this. (Preview)
documentation on the new models is available here:
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/release/rc1/doc/node69.html
and here:
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/release/rc1/doc/node89.html
When will 2.36 be released? I am working through a long list of issues
getting the debug build to work on clang-based systems, and when those
are resolved (in the next few weeks?) I'll release 2.36. The release
candidate above is pretty close to what will be the final bits.
In ns-3, basic CoDel was added in n-3.21. Dave and Andrew McGregor
contributed some models for FQ- and SFQ-CoDel a while back; links to
this code can be found on our wiki Current Development page. Inclusion
of these is blocked by some stack refactoring that Dave pointed to in a
subsequent post, to insert a priority queue sublayer for these queues.
I'm working towards the goal of making these available by ns-3.23 (May),
but I aimed for ns-3.22 and missed, so I can't promise that these will
be done by May; we'll see.
If anyone wants to help test these new simulation models and get them
into shape for release, please contact me.
- Tom
