Respected Sir,
Sorry for replying late due to exams going on.
Anyways, in my thesis I have to develop ad-hoc protocols considering
the factor of readability more important than efficiency. The goal of
the protocol is to make it simple to understand to learn ad-hoc
protocols. The best way to implement these protocols in Linux kernel
is via GINI. AS GINI's framework uses UML so it is beneficial and easy
to implement and test the protocol using GINI. So my thesis is to use
GINI to implement ad-hoc protocols.
Could you please give me suggestions; how to start off,
prerequisites needed to be learned to implement ad-hoc protocols using
GINI, how to test the developed protocol in GINI etc, some additional
GINI material needed to be studied...
Thank you.
Regards
Prasad Lodha.

Respected Sir,
My name is Prasad Lodha (UWA). I have
already mailed the GINI group about my topic of thesis, few months
ago. Well my topic is "Implementtation of ad hoc protocols in GINI".
I wanted your help to proceed further. Is there any development left
out in GINI's framework which I would need before I implement the ad
hoc protocol ???. Also could you suggest me how to proceed further
with my topic and GINI.
Thank you.
Regards,
Prasad Lodha (UWA).

The GINI svn stable/ branch is now stable. I fixed the issue that was
occuring today in the tutorial. It is the same as the devel/ branch
now, but if you want to update GINI in the future you should grab the
source from the stable/ branch, NOT the devel/ branch (unless you
really want the bleeding-edge version).

I tried the topology in the second part of Assignment 1 (multiple LANs
connected by routers). However, Wireshark does not work.
The console on the gBuilder says: Error: wireshark not found in path
Even if I try it on the terminal it says:
GINI-Router_2 $ wireshark
(wireshark:28887): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Can anybody throw some light on this?
Thanks

Are you running the frontend on Windows or Linux? If on windows you
need to add wireshark to the %PATH% variable.

Hi,
while following installation guide to install Gini on Linux, I blocked at
command 'scons install' which returned '-bash: scons: command not found'. Does
it mean I don't have scons installed?
Thanks,

Most likely. Did you try installing scons? If so, which version and on which
OS?
