[ns] [help] How to simulate IPv6 packet in ns-2 ?
Hi everyone, I'm a new user of ns-2. I have to simulate packet in native IPv6 network. I've found that the manual document is refered to only IPv4. My question is how can I simulate IPv6 packet in ns-2 ? Or I have to modify ~ns/tcl/lib/ns-packet.tcl ? I'm really appreciated for this help. Thank you very much in advance.

[ns] Missing MAC collisions in EDCA simulations
Hello All, I recently played around with the IEEE 802.11e EDCA Model from TKN Berlin. I used ns 2.28. I enabled MAC tracing in their example script 'multi_udpflows.tcl' and set all UDP agents to priority 0. Surprisingly there were no collisions in the trace file. So, I disabled edca support [set opt(mac) Mac/802_11] and rerun the simulation. Now, there are collisions as expected in the trace. With edca support enabled, I expect collisions when QoS stations of prio 0 and 1 are trying to access the channel in the same slot, or when more than one station of a specific prio is active. Access category voice and video have the same AIFS of 2. Therefore collisions should occur. In my test I set all udp flows to prio 0. Why there are no collisions? Are collision not traced, or is there a problem in the implementation? I would like to exchange experiences with you. Best regards Sven
Re: [ns] how to get SIFS, DIFS, RTS, CTS, DATA and ACK packet size
Hi there I think what you need to do is to read the files, mac-802_11.cc and .h file in the mac folder. This will give you all the information you require however from the the simulations I have done, I got the following values Data packet can be any length you like, however a 72 byte overhead is added by the MAC layer the RTS packet is 44 byte The CTS and Ack is 38 Bytes each > > dear all, > can anyone help me how to get values of RTS, CTS, DATA and ACK packet size > of 802.11 Ad hoc net. also i want to know the way to get SIFS and DIFS > values. > > please reply, urgent simulations that I have been doing > > Kind regards Qasim Raza Iqbal PhD Candidate, ACNRG Lab N504, Office N505 Adaptive Communications Networks Research Group, School of Engineering And Applied Science Aston University Birmingham B4 7ET United Kingdom http://www.ee.aston.ac.uk/research/acrg/index.html A Top 10 UK University
[ns] delaySamp_ object and Delay samples
Dear all,
has anybody used, or tried to use the delaySamp_ object
that is provided with a queuemonitor object?
In the manual it states that this object can be used to measure queue delays
(page 76 of ns-manual).
It has two methods:
$queuemonitor get-delay-samples, which says it returns a Samples object
delaySamp_ to record delays about queues and
$queuemonitor set-delay-samples , is to set up the delay samples
object to record delay statistics about queues. Also, it states that
delaySamp_ is a handle to a samples object, which must have been previously
created (supposedly with the get-delay-samples method above).
However I have the following code:
#Setting a queue-monitor object for a specific queue
set monitorQueue2_3 [$simulation monitor-queue $node2 $node3 stdout]
#Setting the integrator for the average queue size - this works ok
set integratorObject [$monitorQueue2_3 get-pkts-integrator]
#using the get-delay-samples method of the queuemonitor object to "get" a
delay samples
set delaySamples [$monitorQueue2_3 get-delay-samples]
#using the set-delay-samples method on, supposedly, the "returned" object to
set-it up,
#according to the manual
$monitorQueue2_3 set-delay-samples delaySamples
more code
When I simulate the tcl code I get the following error:
(_o59 cmd line 1)
invoked from within
"_o59 cmd set-delay-samples delaySamples"
invoked from within
"catch "$self cmd $args" ret"
invoked from within
"if [catch "$self cmd $args" ret] {
set cls [$self info class]
global errorInfo
set savedInfo $errorInfo
error "error when calling class $cls: $args" $..."
(procedure "_o59" line 2)
(SplitObject unknown line 2)
invoked from within
"$monitorQueue2_3 set-delay-samples delaySamples"
(file "simulation-Class-AverageQueue.tcl" line 80)
What Could be the cause of this? I use ddd as my debugger and I have come to
the conclusion that the get-delay-samples method does not return anything,
since
the delaySamp_ object is initialized to NULL upon initialization of the
queuemonitor object.
The code is in the queue-monitor.cc file in /tools/
How can one use the delaySamp_ objects of queuemonitor to measure queue
delays?
Am I correct, or I am erroneously using these methods?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
-Fk

[ns] Calculate Average queue delay and average queue size - Explained
Dear ns-community,
I probably have found a way to answer my own question which was posted
previously concerning the calculation of average queue delay and size with
monitor objects.
After thorough study, I eventually found out what one has to do in order
to calculate the average queue delay and average queue size (i.e. without
extra-tcl code
or awk scripts) through a monitor object. The code to do that has already
been implemented
in ns-2, in monitor objects.
However, please note that the methods below correspond to my observations
and effort and thereby
I do not guarantee that there are 100% error-free, since I might have missed
something, or understood
something wrong. On the other hand, after the experiments that I carried out
with some tcl scripts,
it seems that the monitor objects along with these methods work OK. The
experiments were carried out for wired links and with no
line-failures (the monitor objects in ns present problems in the calculation
of the queue statistics when a line
drops and comes up again - it seems that all counters get reset!).
The NS-2 version I use is ns-2.29 under Debian Sarge
For the examples below I am assuming a 3-node topology with links
in-between:
node1 -> node2 -> node3
The link characteristics (propagation delay, bandwidth, etc) and the queue
management (droptail, RED, etc) may be as one desires
*** CALCULATION OF AVERAGE QUEUE SIZE **
After the creation of the links and the nodes, we are going to measure the
average queue
size of the connection from node2 to node3. Instead of using a tcl procedure
that is executed
every n seconds, we are going to use the Integrator objects that ns-2
already supports under the monitor objects.
At first we create the monitor object as usual, for the queue that we want
to monitor:
set monitorN2_N3 [$ns monitor-queue $node2 $node3 stdout]
then we "get" the integrator object through the monitor object for the
queue. This method returns an
integrator object which later can be queried for the average queue size in
packets (Integrator objects calculate
integrals of samples over time):
set inetgratorObjectN2_N3 [$monitorN2_N3 get-pkts-integrator] (or
[$monitorN2_N3 get-bytes-integrator] for average size in bytes)
and finally before the end of our simulation we print out the result with:
puts stdout "Average queue size: [expr {[$integratorObjectN2_N3 set
sum_]/$finishTime}]"
where sum_ is a property of the integrator object that contains the integral
sum of all the sample points from the start of the
simulation until the time we "get" it (finishTime).
finishTime is a custom variable containing the finish time of our simulation
(100,200 seconds, etc).
We have to divide it in order to get the average over all the simulated
time.
* CALCULATING AVERAGE QUEUE DELAY
***
In order to calculate the average queue delay of a queue with a monitor
object, we can use a Samples object that accompanies
the monitor object, which simply uses the timestamp field of a special
"common" header (hdr_common) in the packets transmitted. This header is
solely used for this purpose (i.e. calculate statistics).
Below I include the code for the average queue size as well
At first we create a samples object that will be passed to the monitor
object later:
set monitorN2_N3 [$ns monitor-queue $node2 $node3 stdout]
set inetgratorObjectN2_N3 [$monitorN2_N3 get-pkts-integrator]
set samples_object [new Samples]
Then we must "set it up" to be used with our monitor object:
$monitorN2_N3 set-delay-samples $samples_object
Then we "get" it through the get method of our monitor object (as we have
done for the monitor object)
set delaySamplesObject [$monitorN2_N3 get-delay-samples]
And then at the end of the simulation we call the "mean" method of the
samples object (that has been assigned to our queue)
to get the mean delay of the queue in seconds:
puts stdout "Average Queue Delay: [$delaySamplesObject mean]"
There are other methods to use with the samples object, such as variance,
cnt, etc. For more information concerning these
methods one might check the "Mathematical Support" chapter 24 of the ns-2
manual.
Also, there are set-pkts-integrator and set-bytes-integrator methods as well
for setting up the integrator objects as well.
However, it is not necessary one to use them, since their corresponding
"Samples" objects are being created through
init-monitor during the initialization of the monitor object. Only the delay
samples is not being initialized and not calling
the method set-delay-samples with an existing samples object returns an
error.
Also, please note that the above might have alradey been documented as such
somewhere else beyond my knowledge,
but since I have seen this question many times in the forum I decided to
post an answer in the forum. My apologies
for any inconvenience this might have caused.
Comments concerning the above are welc
[ns] Two mobility models in one simulation - attack/adversary modelling?
Dear NS users Is it somehow possible to have two different mobility models in the same simulation? I have been looking on a few trace file generators and a number of research articles, and I have been unable to find any of them, which used two different kind of mobility in the same simulation. I am studying security in mobile ad hoc networks, and I would like to model an attacker/adversary, which selects a certain "good" node based on some kind of traffic analysis and then follows this node. The "good" nodes would have to follow e.g. a group mobility model or just Random Waypoint, and the movement of the attacker should be some function of the received signals. So far I have only seen attackers/adversaries, which moved in the same way as the "good" nodes or were stationary. I would like to use ns-2 for it, but if it is not possible and you know it can be done in some other simulator, please let me know! Any tips would be most welcome, since at the moment I am about to give up the idea, because it does not seem to be possible. Thank you very much for your help, Martin

[ns] how to analysis the performance of routing protocols
I have simulated wireless network with 40 nodes. A node 1 is sending TCP tranffic to Node 38 which is about 600 km distance. I have tried with DSR, AODV, and DSDV routing protocol. I am interested in throughput and delay analysis. DSDV protocol is working fine and I can get the thorughput at node 38. But the other two protocols fail to deliver the packet to the destination. I have used the same code for all the protocols. The same code works fine with a network having only two nodes and all the protocols could deliver the packet to the desitination.
