[ns] generate CMPP traffic

2008-05-08 Thread jazia jaballah

Hello,

I have tried to generate CMPP traffic in NS by adding a class

CMPP_Traffic analogous to Poisson_Traffic .

I have made those additions:


 1.~ns/tcl/lib/ns-default.tcl : here i have given default values for all

the parameters


 2.~ns/tcl/lib/ns-source.tcl : here i have first declare my class as

Class Application/Traffic/CMPP


 3.~ns/packet.h : here i have made entry for my packet type PT_CMPP in teh

enum defined there . i have also made the entry name_[PT_CMPP]=cmpp


 4. ~ns/trace.h : here in the func. format() i have made entry for my

packet type in the if-condition in line 213.


 There is no problem when i compile ns with my file included in the

Makefile. But when i run a tcl script generating CMPP traffic then it

gives the following error :


 

_o84:unable to dispatch method attach-agent

while executing

$traffic attach-agent $udp0

(file cmpp.tcl line40)

---


 here cmpp.tcl is the name of my tcl script

traffic is the object Application/Traffic/CMPP

udp0 is the object Agent/UDP


 Can anybody suggest me what to do???

[ns] Web traffic in wireless environment

2008-05-08 Thread Jorge Lanza

Hi all,

I want to perform a simulation of a kind of XML RPC traffic. As this
traffic is usually carried over HTTP in order to make the first tests I
want to use any kind of web traffic envionment.

I have tried with webcache over a wireless environment and the packets
doesn't go out of the node (they are discarded).

Does anybody know what can I use to perform such a simulation of web
traffic over wireless? All my nodes are wireless and will act as servers
and clients (whenever possible).

TA.
Jorge



[ns] can't send pkt (unicast/broadcast) - MANET ns2.30

2008-05-08 Thread levy david

Hello ns-suers,

 i can't send unicast or broadcast packets, I try several solutions, but no
one works!

1- the code for unicast  (sendUnicast(destination))

Packet* pkt = allocpkt();
hdr_cmn* hdrcmn = hdr_cmn::access(pkt);
hdr_ip* iphdr   = hdr_ip::access(pkt);
hdr_monitor* hdrret = hdr_monitor::access(pktret);
hdrret-ret = 1;
hdrcmn-next_hop_ = destination;
hdrcmn-prev_hop_ = this-addr();
hdrcmn-direction() = hdr_cmn::DOWN;
hdrcmn-ptype() = PT_MONITOR;
hdrcmn-addr_type() = NS_AF_INET;   //NS_AF_INET; // NS_AF_ILINK;

// setting the ip header
iphdr-saddr() = this-addr();
iphdr-sport() = 100; // 1-254
iphdr-daddr() = destination;
iphdr-dport() = 100; // 1-254
iphdr-ttl() = 32;
fprintf(stderr, %d send request to %d \n,this-addr(),destination);

// send
Scheduler::instance().schedule(ll, pkt, 0.0);

2- for broadcast i use the following code

Packet* pkt = allocpkt();
hdr_gc* hdr = hdr_gc::access(pkt);
hdr-ret = 0;
hdr_cmn* hdrcmn = hdr_cmn::access(pkt);
hdr_ip* iphdr   = hdr_ip::access(pkt);
hdrcmn-next_hop_ = IP_BROADCAST;
hdrcmn-prev_hop_ = this-addr();
hdrcmn-direction() = hdr_cmn::DOWN;
hdrcmn-ptype() = PT_GC;
hdrcmn-addr_type() = NS_AF_INET;  //NS_AF_NONE NS_AF_ILINK;

// setting the ip header
iphdr-saddr() = this-addr();
iphdr-sport() = 101; // 1-254
iphdr-daddr() = IP_BROADCAST;
iphdr-dport() = 101; // 1-254
iphdr-ttl() = 1;
fprintf(stderr, %d send bcats\n,this-addr());

// send
Scheduler::instance().schedule(ll, pkt, 0.0); // _target !
-
i use the TclObject::lookup to get the ll.


Thanks
Regards


Re: [ns] Underwater Channel in basic NS2

2008-05-08 Thread Nicola Baldo

Hi Dewald,


Dewald Nolte wrote:
  In ns-miracle the documentation claims that the underwater channel
 works and that some basic MACs are provided, but in one of the mails
 in the mailing list I read that some of the routing protocols are not
 yet supported?  

Basically the underwater-miracle module provides only Channel, PHY and
MAC, and relies on nsmiracle for the rest of the protocol stack. The
current release of nsmiracle provides only static routing. The future
release will include support for routing protocols such as AODV.
However, the release date for this version of nsmiracle cannot be
predicted at this moment.


 Also if I go the basic ns way I have to fix the code
 myself. It has some errors at the moment. Doesnt seem too difficult to
 fix though.
 
 1. In the underwater-phy.cc of the unsupported underwater code, lambda
 is defined as:
 lambda_ = SPEED_OF_LIGHT / freq_;
 Considering that its an underwater channel, should it not then be
 the speed of sound??

I guess this value was not used in practice. What I remember of the ns2
underwater module is that is basically used the underwater-phy as an
entry point for some other external code. Most of the code copied from
the ns2 wireless-phy is not actually used. However, you need to read the
code yourself to really understand it. I guess it could be very
difficult to contact the original developers of that module.


  I want to implement my own MAC for the underwater environment. I am
 looking to use the RTS, CTS, DATA, ACK handshake to implement MACAW.
 Some of this is already implemented in the 802.11 MAC. So I will try
 to port that to MACAW. So basically I want to try and use the
 framework supplied by the 802.11 code and just change what is
 necessarry to implement my MAC (MACAW). The problem is I dont have
 enough experience with ns to write my own MAC
  from scratch, so im doing it this way.
 
 2. Now would it be easier to go with ns-miracle, or try to integrate
 the unsupported code for the
 basic ns and use that to keep the routing modules intact?

 3. And lastly, can the 802.11 MAC run on the underwater physical layer
 as it is? Just for
starters, I will try to port it eventually to the MACAW protocol...


What I can tell you (just my opinion of course) is that dealing with the
ns2 underwater module at the PHY and MAC layer is a real mess. This is
the main reason why we wrote the underwater-miracle module almost from
scratch.
