Hello, there!

I wanna simulate the packet loss rate of PIM-SM(during the tree
transition).
I can configure the multicast source's data rate(e.g. pcm, pcm2, pcm4,
gsm and so on)??

Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 14:45:53 -0700
From: John Heidemann <johnh@ISI.EDU>



Ns-2.0 has been released.  Instructions for getting and building ns
are at <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>.


WHAT'S NS?
----------

Ns is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research.
It provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and
multicast protocols.

Ns began as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 and has
evolved substantially over the past few years.  The ns development
effort is now an ongoing collaboration with the VINT project.


WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0?
------------------

This version is the first non-beta release of ns-2.0.
By non-beta, we mean that it (nearly) completely subsumes ns-1
in functionality and has substantial documentation.
Ns includes:


- an accurate (although not necessarily complete :-) man page

- substantial additional documentation based on a SIGCOMM '97 tutorial
    (available at <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-documentation.html>,
    new since 2.0b17)

- complete ns-1 functionality
    (although some changes to ns-1 have not necessarily been ported to
    in ns-2, see <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-1-2.html>)

- substantial new functionality (compared to ns-1)
    (multi-path routing, RTP, additional scheduling algorithms,
    SRM, ``centralized multicast'', link-layer, MAC, and shared
    channel modules for mobile hosts)

- backwards compatibility with ns-1 scripts
    (with some small exceptions, see
    <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns.html>)


Ns-2.0 is available from
<http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>
and requires TclCL-1.0b3 (also available there),
Tcl-7.6 and otcl-0.96.

are at <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/nam.html>.

 
WHAT'S NAM?
- ----------

Nam is a Tcl/TK based animation tool for viewing network simulation traces
and real world packet traces. It supports topology layout, packet level
animation, and various data inspection tools.

Nam began at LBNL. It has evolved substantially over the past few years.
The nam development effort is now an ongoing collaboration with the VINT
project.
 
 
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.0a2?
- ------------------
 
This version is the first public alpha release of nam-1.0.

Nam includes:
 
- - various data inspection tools, including monitors for packets and 
    protocol agents, inspection of parameters of nodes and links, charting
    link utilization and packet losses.

- - supports multiple views of the same topology, as well as zoom and
    panning of any view.

- - automatic topology layout

- - an accurate (although not necessarily complete :-) man page

Nam-1.0a2 is available from
<http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/nam.html>

Ns-2.1b2 has been released.  Instructions for getting and building ns
are at <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>.
Latest version of tclcl (formerly known as libTcl) v1.0b5 has also been
released and can be found in the same location as above. 

WHAT'S NS?
----------

Ns is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research.
It provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and
multicast protocols.

Ns began as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 and has
evolved substantially over the past few years.  The ns development
effort is now an ongoing collaboration with the VINT project.


WHAT'S NEW IN 2.1b2?
--------------------

New features in this version include:

- test-suites: bugs fixed for TCP vegas, rate based pacing(RBP) added,
tcp-full added

- bugs fixed to make ns compatible with the new tcl/tk8.0p2

- Extended emulation support (under separate emulate subdirectory).Need to
build "nse" instead of "ns" to include emulate functionality. The
emulation stuff is to be considered under development.

- srm-topo{.cc.h} added to support large scale simulations for SRM

- Some changes/enhancements made (e.g random number generator
sequence for rtglib, TTLchecker decrements ticks other than
1, addition of tcp-session, implementation of "corrected"
timestamp echo algorithm for TCP, advance and advanceby commands for
CBP etc.)

- ErrorModules added, useful for injecting specific packet drops into
simulations

- Extended support for ECN notification by RED Queues

- some more bugs fixed and example test files added (tcl/ex and tcl/sesion)

Ns-2.1b2 is available from
<http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>

IMPORTANT: Note ns-2.1b2 requires TclCL-1.0b5, otcl-1.0a2,
Tcl/Tk-8.0 or Tcl7.6/Tk4.2.

Thanks,
Padma.

Subject: Planned changes to the ns multicast internals
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 98 01:27:36 PDT
Sender: kannan@ISI.EDU

This is just a brief note to describe the changes we are making
to the internal multicast routing protocols in ns.  If you are
only using multicast routing as a infrastructure mechanism,
and the protocol you use is one of dense mode, or centralized
multicast routing, then these changes need not affect you.
More particularly, these changes can simplify your coding, and
also provide improved features that you would use.  However,
if you are looking at multicast routing, or are using PIM
as your multicast routing protocol, then these changes could
affect you adversely.  To understand the nature of the impact,
we would like to hear from you as to exactly what your multicast
routing work is, or how and why you are using PIM, and to better
understand your needs and concerns.

These changes are scheduled to occur before the next release,
currently impending.  Subsequently, we are also considering
the implementation of a sparse mode multicast routing protocol
as well.  Some of the issues we expect to address are:

- redesign of the network interfaces code.  This would make it
	easier to compose complex links etc. without requiring
	knowledge of the internal structure of links and nodes.
	Thus, this eliminates the need for kludges such as:

		if link head is DuplexNetworkInterface ; then
			do something
		else
			do something else
		fi

- provide increased tracing support in multicast

- devolve support for the MultiLink and MultiLinkofInterfaces
	forms of LANs.

	However, we plan to add support to the LAN models
	done by the Daedalus group at Berkeley.

- eliminate the flag variable, Simulator::NumberInterfaces_.  Users
	no longer need worry or specify this variable.  This 
	setting will be quietly ignored, even if the user sets it.

- Similarly, the flag variable, Simulator::EnableMcast_ is to be phased out,
	in favour of a method based invocation of the same.  The premise
	is that, in an OO environment, methods good, flags bad.

- we expect to work on the dense mode, and centralized multicast code,
	and over a brief span of time, provide a simple sparse mode
	implementation of multicast.

	At least the first two items will be completed before the
	impending release.

	In particular, we do not plan to upgrade the PIM implementation 
	in ns at this time.

For those people working on internal multicast routing, there may be
additional impact.  This also impacts those who are using the PIM
implementation in ns at the present time:

- cleanup some of the internal multicast code, to make it easier
	to experiment with multicast routing protocols.
	in particular, we plan to restructure the internals to
	conform to the idioms of the appropriate programming
	language.  Since most of multicast is in OTcl, this means
	that the OTcl code will change.  One common example of
	change is code such as:

	<mrtproto> instproc <method> { argslist } { ...  }

	will change to

	<mrtproto> instproc <method> { args } { ...  }

		In this case, the args form of input arguments to
		a procedure call is a Tcl idiom, and hence is
		*more natural* to OTcl; however, it means that
		functions that call this method should no longer
		wrap their arguments into a single list.  In
		particular, this will cause OTcl to pass the
		arguments as a doubly nested list, and likely
		confuse such methods.

	This also involves other changes to the internal calling
	APIs that could affect the way the base classes interact
	with your routing protocol.  We will attempt to document

We spammed the e2e, the manet, and the tcp-impl lists, and
forgot the core ones :-( Here's the announcements for the
next VINT/ns workshop, August 7th, Washington DC.  Sorry
for the mixup:

=========================================================
We would like to announce the 3rd ns simulator workshop,
to be held at GMU, Arlington campus on August 7th.  We
intend to cover essentially the same material we covered
at the earlier workshops, with updates based on new
functionality added to the simulator.

This workshop is for researchers who would like to use
ns more actively, or extend its functionality.  We will
discuss the primary components of the ns simulator and
various issues in adding new routing or transport
protocols.

For more information, please see the web page at:

	http://www-mash.CS.Berkeley.EDU/ns/workshop3.html

For this event, there will be charge of US$50 (US$25 for
full time students) due by July 31, 1998 to cover meals
and copying charges.

For your convenience, a copy of the registration form is
appended to this message.

Ns 2.1b3 and ns-allinone 2.1b3 have now been released !

WHAT'S NS?
----------

Ns is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research.
It provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and
multicast protocols.

Ns began as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 and has
evolved substantially over the past few years.  The ns development
effort is now an ongoing collaboration with the VINT project.

WHAT'S NS-ALLINONE?
----------
 
Ns-allinone is a package which contains required components and some of
optional components used in running ns. The package contains an
"install" script to automatically configure, compile and install these
components. If you haven't installed ns before and want to quickly try
ns out, ns-allinone may be easier than getting all the pieces by hand.


WHAT'S NEW IN NS 2.1b3?
--------------------

New features in this version include:

- Test-suites: Validation tests for Full TCP, ECN, TCP initial windows,
               manual routing, session simulation 

- scneario generator: routing generator, agent generator and topology
                      generator

- Revised API between Agents and Applications.

- Reworked RLM implementation

- Many changes to FullTcp (fixes to timestamps; restructuring of dupack
  actions; fix an off-by-1 problem for window deflation; ECN; 5 new tests
  to test-suite-full.tcl; adding tracing of the congestion action bit)

- Added support for classinstvars (delayed binding between C++ and Tcl) 
  to save memory

- Added support for exhaustive selective packet loss over lans.

- Added token bucket filter support

- Added Packet Reference Count for SessionSim

- Lots of additions and mods for snoop version 2 and Explicit Loss
  Notifications

- Added support for measurement based admission control for controlled
  load service

- Revised and more flexible addressing format which allows allocation
  of bits for port, node and mcast fields

- Added support for hierarchical routing for up to 3 levels

- Trace: nam trace functionality to admission control modules.
         nam trace functionality to tcp, srm event and statistical info
 
WHAT'S NEW IN ns-allinone 2.1b3 ?     
 
The ns-allinone release (2.1b3) includes
 
- Tcl     Tcl release 8.0p2     (required component)
- Tk      Tk release 8.0p2      (required component)
- Otcl    otcl release 1.0a3    (required component)
- TclCL   tclcl release 1.0b6   (required component)
- Ns      ns release 2.1b3      (required component)
- Nam     Nam release 1.0a4     (optional component)
- Xgraph  xgraph version 12     (optional component)
- Gt-itm  GT-ITM & sgb2ns 1.1   (optional component, currently only on
				 SunOS, Solaris, and FreeBSD)

Ns-2.1b3 and ns-allinone-2.1b3 are available from
<http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>

Ns-2.1b3 requires TclCL-1.0b6, otcl-1.0a3, and either
Tcl-7.6/Tk4.2 or Tcl/Tk-8.0.  New versions of TclCL and otcl are also
available from <http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-build.html>.

From: Kevin Fall <kfall@cs.berkeley.edu>


We would like to announce the 5th ns simulator workshop/tutorial,
to be held at UC Berkeley on June 14, 1999.  We
intend to cover essentially the same material we covered
at the earlier workshops, with updates based on new
functionality added to the simulator.

This workshop is for users, researchers, and developers who
would like to learn about the ns simulator, use it more actively,

Dear sir ,

i have read your totourial about Ns entitled : NS Tutorial : mobile and
wireless Network september 10th, 1999.
in the page summary (2) it's mentioned that Ns can be used ti simulate
Base station node to bridge wired domain and wireless domain.
i have downloaded all the documenation about ns , i havent seen any detailed
information about how to write a program using a bass station for bridgenig.
i have also downloaded the CMU extension to ns documentaion . no mention for
base station also.

please i need that information.

what i need exactly is to write a simple program simulate a node represent the
wired domain, another node represent a base station , and finally a third node
represent the mobile node so to measure the performance of the TCP/IP for
diffrent cases.

so plz if you can provide me the help on that.

thanks a lot .


hoping to hear from you soon.


best regards,

Eng. aiman sirhan

Dear Sir or Madam,

     Hello,I have some problems in visualization and trace file
     format with wireless network simulation(ad-hoc networks).
     it will be appreciated that you give me some suggestions
     and advises.
     
     Since ns2.1b6's nam does not support wireless packet
     sending/receiving, I have tried to take the scenario file, communication
     file and trace file generated by ns2.1b6 to ad-hockey to
     visualize them. But the trace file generated by ns-2.1b6 is in a
     different format from ns2.1b3 extension and cann't be used directly by ad-hockey.

     I wonder whether ns itself provides a better visualization tool for
     ad-hoc network simulation in its later release. Or, are there
     some easy ways for me to transform the trace file generated by ns
     2.1b6 to the format accepted by ad-hockey?

     Look forward to your response. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Liu Yong                        mailto:lyong@csnet4.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn

Dear Sir,

 I would like to have some information about the ns. The goal of my Master
Thesis is to evaluate the performance comparison of four routing protocols
already implemented in the BLUETOOTH environment. So how to get a
transmission range of 10 meters and a bandwidth of 1Mb/s ?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best Regards

The ns and related web pages have moved from www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu
to www.isi.edu.  The new URLs:

ns:		http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/index.html
nam:		http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/nam/index.html
xgraph:		http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/xgraph/index.html
otcl:		http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/otcl/index.html
tclcl:		http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/tclcl/index.html

http downloads:	http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/
ftp downloads:	ftp://ftp.isi.edu/nsnam/

In addition, the http/ftp downloads have been slightly rearranged.
(The main difference is the snapshots are now labeled "-snapshot"
rather than "-current".)

Cvsweb and web page searching (htdig) are not yet working but will be
restored shortly.

We've tried to update all of the web pages and links to their new
homes, but there are certainly some incorrect links.  If you detect
broken or old links that should be pointing to the new web pages,
please let us know (with mail to ns-users).  (Some links to external
pages may remain broken, but the internal links should be correct.)

The mailing lists are still hosted at mash.cs.berkeley.edu.  they will
move to isi.edu sometime soon.  A separate announcement will be sent
out when that happens.

ns-allinone-2.1b7a has been released.  Instructions for getting and building ns
are at <http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html>.  This release is 
exactly what was in ns-2.1b7 with these bug fixes/enhancements:

- a bug in gen-map is fixed 
- a heap scheduler memory leak is fixed 
- nse should now build on FreeBSD and Linux 
- the allinone release should build cleanly on Solaris machines 
- allinone information about modifying PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
	is now clarified 

There will not be a release of "ns-2.1b7a", users who want these bug
fixes outside of ns-allinone are encouraged to get a daily snapshot.

There will not be another bug-fix release to 2.1b7; any additional
fixes will appear at <http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html>
and/or the mailing list.

I'm happy to announce that a new release of ns (version 2.1b9) is now
available.  This release of ns also comes with new releases of nam
(v1.0a11), otcl(v1.0a8), tclcl(v1.0b12) and the ns-allinone(v2.1b9) package.
The ns/nam release has many new features/modules as well as several bug-fixes
which are listed in brief below.

The new release is available from the ns website at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/ and by FTP from ftp://ftp.isi.edu/nsnam/.

The ns-build page at http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html
contains instructions for downloading and installing ns and will be updated
tonight to reflect the new version.

Please send your comments and bug-reports to ns-users@isi.edu

------------------------------------------------------------------------


 What's new in ns-2.1b9
--------------------------

New Modules:
-------------
* Directed Diffusion (developed by SCADDS, USC/ISI) has been integrated
  into ns.  Note that the C++ Standard Template Library is used extensively,
  so directed diffusion will not run on systems lacking support for
  templates or the STL.

* Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) code contributed by Ryan Barnett implements
  a large subset of the PGM specification.

* PI controller, Vq, REM, and Gibbens/Kelly (GK) active queue management have
  been added to ns. (Contributed by Jitendra Padhye, Srisankar Kunniyu,
  Sanjeewa Athuraliya, Victor Li, and Srisankar Kunniyur.)

* Visibility-based shadowing propagation model for wireless networks
  contributed by Wei Ye.

* A Smoothed Round Robin scheduler has been integrated into ns by
  Xuan Chen.

* The Asim package by Debojyoti Dutta has been integrated into ns.  Asim is
  an analytic solver for steady-state behavior of both long and short TCP flows.  One application is scenario pre-filtering, to limit full ns runs to interesting scenarios.

* The ModelGen tool by Kun-chan Lan generates traffic models from raw traces
  of web and FTP traffic.  The CDF files generated by ModelGen can then be
  used by the empweb/empftp to model web and FTP traffic in ns.


Updated Modules:
-----------------
* New version of DSR contributed by Yih-Chun Hu (CMU).

* New version of AODV (implementing version 6 of AODV draft) contributed by
  Elizabeth M. Belding-Royer.

* The MRG32k3a random number generator (by Pierre L'Ecuyer) has been added
  to ns by Michele C. Weigle to replace the LCG16807 random number generator
  used previously.  Note that the output of scripts using random numbers will
  be different when run under this version of ns than under previous versions
  due to the new random number generator.

* Error models can now affect incoming packets as well as outgoing packets.

* Satellite enhancements: support for wired/satellite integration, support for
  tracing satellite aloha collisions, now uses same "$ns node-config" syntax
  as wireless nodes.

* Emulation code ported to Linux.

* A first pass has been made in adding a new extensible trace format designed
  to replace all current trace formats.  It is turned off by default.


Bug fixes :
------------
* Retransmit timer in two-way TCP was not backing off correctly when the
  timestamp option was turned on.  ECN with small windows was fixed.

* One-way TCP fixes: TCP/IP header sizes are considered when calculating
  packet sizes.  When "syn_" is used, the first 40-byte packet now
  consists of header bytes only, with no data bytes used.  TCP can now
  deal with outstanding packets from the previous incarnation of a
  connection after a reset.

* TCP retransmit timers now comply with RFC 2988.  In addition, the
  granularity of the timers has been changed from 0.1 to 0.01 seconds.

* Bug fixes and changes made to mac-802.11: PLCP now transmitted at fixed
  rate of 1 Mbps, control packets now sent at rate in Basic data set, plus
  other fixes.

* Snoop works again, thanks to a patch from Benyuan Liu.

* More error checking in Scheduler::schedule, linux floating point fix from
  Tom Kelly.

* Nam trace file annotations are now generated in the correct format and
  no longer generate warnings from nam.



 What's new in nam-1.0a11
---------------------------
* Support for several loss models and queue types, as well as Exponential,
  Pareto, and Telnet traffic sources has been added to the nam editor.

* Node movement can be added using the nam editor.

* Spurious warnings concerning namgraph trace file flags removed.

Release Announcement


 *  ns 2.1b9a
 *  nam 1.0a11a


This release fixes several problems in ns 2.1b9 and nam 1.0a11 which
made them difficult to compile on certain platforms.  It also fixes a
few small bugs, as listed below.

This release does NOT add significant new features, and therefore you do
not need to upgrade if you already have a working ns 2.1b9 installation.
On the other hand, if you have had difficulty compiling ns 2.1b9, this
release may solve your problems.

The changes contained in this release will also be available in CVS
snapshots after July 4, 2002.

For the convenience of Windows users who may not have the necessary
development tools installed, precompiled binary releases of ns and nam are
available on the ns web site.

http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/



Fixes in ns 2.1b9a:

 *  It now compiles with C++ compilers which don't support STL.
 
 *  It can once again be compiled with Visual C++ on Windows.

 *  Emulation now works on Linux distributions such as SUSE and Debian
    which put pcap.h in /usr/include rather than /usr/include/pcap.

 *  fixed "strcasestr" naming problem on FreeBSD

 *  fixed "bcache" naming problem on Solaris

 *  fixed i386 assembly language parsing problem with gcc 2.95.4 in
    common/tclAppInit.cc

 *  TrafficTrace now opens files in binary mode so it works
    correctly on Windows.


Fixes in nam 1.0a11a:

 *  It can once again be compiled with Visual C++ on Windows.
    (It still requires a special static build of Tcl/Tk 8.0, as
    noted in INSTALL.WIN3.  For this reason, we strongly recommend the
    use of the precompiled binary of nam for Windows users.)

 *  It now works if the path to your home directory contains spaces
    (this was a problem on most Windows XP installations).

 *  Pathnames containing backslash characters (common on Windows) now
    work when specified on the command line.

 *  Eliminated some bugs which may have caused crashes on Windows.

We would like to announce an NS tutorial/workshop to be held at 
Information Sciences Institute, Los Angeles on Nov 21 and 22, 2002.

This tutorial is intended for users, researchers and developers who would 
like to use ns more actively, or extend its functionality. We will discuss 
the primary components of the simulator (the scheduler, connection 
oriented and connectionless protocols, trace support, routing, topology 
generation, multicast support, queue management), and discuss various 
issues like adding new routing or transport protocols, diffserv 
applications, how to use nam and the new nam-editor, a brief introduction 
to OTcl, how to debug ns using the OTcl and C++ interfaces etc. 

The format of this tutorial will be very similar to the previous ns 
tutorials/workshops we have held (look at 
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-tutorial/) with updates based on 
functionality added to the ns simulator recently (including new wireless 
support, diffserv etc). In addition, for attendees to get hands-on 
experience using ns, exercises in various levels will be given as lectures 
progress in breadth and depth. So please bring your laptop to the 
tutorial. Laptops with linux/freeBSD are encouraged though windows should 
also not be a problem. Also attendees are expected to have a basic 
understanding of C++.

For this event there will be a charge of $50 to cover meals on both days, 
copying cost for tutorial material and a CD-ROM. For registration as well 
as for details about the tutorial please go to 
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-tutorial/tutorial-02/

Due to a fixed number of seating, the total number of people we can 
accomodate at the tutorial may be limited. So try to register as soon as 
possible. Also note that there is a deadline of Nov 11, 2002 for 
registration. 


Thanks,

Hi,
I could like get an idea about the approximate time for doing the project
mentioned below:

I am planning to do a project in NS which involves the performance
measurement of the routing algorithms in Ad Hoc network.
I would need to simulate 50 wireless nodes forming an ad hoc network and
to measure some criteria as Packet delivery ratio, Routing overhead and
Path optimality.

I have not experience in NS, just know a little bit.

I will appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Shobha Setty

We are happy to announce that a new release of ns (version 2.26) is now
available. This release of ns also comes with new releases of nam
(v1.9), tclcl(v1.0b13) and ns-allinone(v2.26) pkg. The
ns/nam release has many new features/modules as well as several bug-fixes
which are listed in brief below.

The tarfiles for ns-allinone, ns and nam src codes are called as
following:
ns-allinone-2.26.tar.gz
ns-src-2.26.tar.gz
nam-src-1.9.tar.gz

You can download these latest release versions
(by HTTP) from http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/  and
by FTP from ftp://ftp.isi.edu/nsnam/.

The ns-build page at http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html
should be updated to show the release by midnight today.

Please send all your comments and bug-reports to ns-users@isi.edu
Thanks,
--Padma Haldar
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

New version numbering for ns and nam
---------------------------------------
As of this release we are changing the ns and nam version numbering
scheme from 2.1b10 (major.minor alpha/beta increment) to simply 2.26
(major.minor).  Unlike typical software that goes through well defined
cycles of alpha/beta development towards a release, different parts of
ns are at different levels of maturity.  For example, the TCP code is
quite mature, while the newest S-MAC code is still at an alpha stage.
Thus, the distinctions in the old numbering scheme were not useful.

We call the new release 2.26 because it's the 26th release in the ns-2
series.  Our hope is that this version will be less confusing than the
alternatives, and a clear shift in the version numbering scheme.
Similarly, the current nam release is nam-1.9.

 What's new in ns-2.26
--------------------------
* SMAC, a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks added to ns. SMAC,
  designed by WeiYe improves energy consumption by allowing periodic
  sleep-wakeup cycles for nodes. Read mac/smac.cc for details on
  functionalities supported in this first-cut version of smac. 

* GEAR added to directed diffusion, to allow geographically limited diffusion.

* Simple web server model added to reflect server's processing delay for 
  web traffic. This model supports two scheduling policies:
  first-come-first-serve and shortest-task-first.

* Extend web traffic model to support traffic generation according to
  HTTP log files.

* QuickStart TCP was ported into ns. QuickStart is an experimental
  proposal to allow end nodes to ask permission from routers for high 
  initial sending rates. 

* Couple of new schedulers were added : 
   -STL based map scheduler from George Riley.
   
   -Splay scheduler from Yuri Pryadkin. 
   A splay scheduler provides good average case-performance.  
   In practice, we found that the calendar scheduler remains faster, 
   however, and so the default scheduler has not been changed.

* LMS (light-weight multicast) module added to ns.

* JoBS, a new queuing discipline that provides quality-of-service (QoS) to
traffic aggregates contributed by Nicolas Christin was ported into ns.  

Extensions and bug-fixes
-------------------------
* Mac-802.11 now allows random slot selection in the contention window
everytime a brdcast or an RTS pkt is sent out. Fix provided by Fred Stann. 

* mac-802.3 now supports packet reference counting which results in memory
saving.  

* Added support for fullTCP and variable packet size for RAMP.

* Event-tracing added to SRM and PGM.

* Several functonalities were added and bug fixes made to directed
diffusion module. The current diffusion module in ns corresponds to 3.1.3
version of the testbed implementation. See SCADDS page at
http://www.isi.edu/scadds/software for details on the latest directed
diffusion (testbed) release available. 

* Improved animation for broadcast packets in nam. See below in "what's
new in nam-1.9" for details.

* The ns source code (including the emulation module) now builds on Darwin
(mac OS X).The ns source also builds for gcc-3 systems (like Redhat Linux
8.0).

* A bug in DSR causing large TTL drops due to packets looping now fixed.
Also added a priority-queue for DSR that maintains separate queues for
different priority classes like routing, real-time, arp and normal packets.  

* Several bug-fixes and improvements made to calendar and real-time
scheduler that enhances the scheduler speed and performance.  

* Several bug-fixes and enhancements made to emulation code.

* Several bug-fixes were made to TCP and drop-tail/RED queue implementations.


What's new in nam-1.9
-----------------------
* Improved animation for broadcast packets in nam includes:
  Broadcast packets used to be animated in real time, not virtual time.  so
   if you changed the playback speed (or even paused it) the circles would
   always expand at the same real rate.  Now, the animation is done in
   virtual time, like all other objects.  So if you slow down the playback
   rate, the circles will move slower.  If you increase playback rate, they
   move faster.

  The animation speed for brdcast packets can now be set using:
   v -t 0.0 -e set_bcast_duration 0.02
   Previously a hardcoded value was used.

* Wireless and wired nodes can now be mixed with better results. This
requires using the "W" event as well as supplying X and Y coordinates for
all nodes in the scenario.   

* wireless broadcast packets now use "r" events when animating in reverse,
just like non-broadcast packets.  (previously they used the "h" event even
when going backwards).  

* The range and duration of the animation of wireless packets can now be
specified on either a per-packet basis or by setting global parameters.

Dear friends,

I am running some wireless simulations in ns. I am trying to set up two
different base stations together with some mobile nodes attached to
them.

However, when I try to run my simulation script, I get the error below:

------------------------------------------------------
Error!!
str2addr:Address 4561175 outside range of address field length 1024
------------------------------------------------------

I checked the hierarchical addresses that I assigned but cannot spot any
problem with them. It appears that all the mobile nodes for the first
base station are attached properly but not for the second base station.

Do you know what may be causing this error or have you come across any
similar situations before?

The current scenario that I am using involves two wired nodes connected
to two base stations and each base station has been configured to have 6
mobile nodes attached to it.

Many thanks beforehand for your cooperation and looking forward to hear
from you.


Best Regards,

Preetam |:~)

hi...
I want to make some changes to 802.11 mac protocol
for adhoc networks...
Is there any documentation available of the implementation
of 802.11 in ns-2...

Hi All,
  This is to announce that a new release of ns (version 2.27) is now
available. This release of ns also comes with new releases of nam
(v1.10), otcl(1.8), tclcl(1.15) and ns-allinone(v2.27) pkg. The
ns/nam release has many new features/modules and bug-fixes which are
listed in brief below.

You can download these latest release versions
(by HTTP) from http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/  and
by FTP from ftp://ftp.isi.edu/nsnam/.

The ns-build page at http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html
should be updated to show the release by midnight today.

Please send all your comments and bug-reports to ns-users@isi.edu

Thanks,
--Padma Haldar

What's new in ns-2.27
-----------------------
* otcl, tclcl, ns and nam has been upgraded to use tcl/tk8.4.5 libraries.

* Wireless radio simulations are now faster thanks to an optimization
contributed by [Val Naomov etal] from ETH.  This list-based improvement
has been observed to make large simulations 4-20x faster.  See paper
[http://www.lst.inf.ethz.ch/research/publications/MSWiM_2003.html] for details.

* Modified version of setdest (scenario/node-movement generator for wireless 
scenarios) that supports steady-state speed distribution (in addition to 
previous modes).  Contributed by Univ. of Michigan.

* SCTP ported into ns-2. Contributed by Univ. of Delaware

* A hybrid analytic/packet-based worm model for simulating internet worm 
attacks now available. It supports two worm scanning behaviors: random and 
local-preferred. Contributed by Xuan Chen of USC.

* New module Delayer for introducing delay variation and channel allocation 
delay.  This is useful for modeling the effects of wireless links. Contributed 
by Andrei Gurtov. 

* The Infrastructure mode for 802.11 MAC is now integrated into ns. The (access point) AP part of the code was contributed by Mike Morton. Aditi kapoor added the concept of a basic service set (BSS) which is a set of stations that form adhoc network or ar
e controlled by a central entity called the AP. Each BSS is on a dirrent channel. Nodes are allowed to change their BSS. Also pkts are exchanged between BSS through wire links. However the scan/join functionality of BSS are not supported. 

* The directed diffusion module in ns continued to be updated. The current version in ns is 3.2.0. New testcases added for 2 phase-pull, push, 1 phase-pull and gear (with push and 2pp) scenarios. Added API that allows diffusion-enabled nodes to add differ
ent filters (push, 1PP, 2PP, log etc). 

* Script color-event.pl added under ~ns/bin that takes event/color pairs and colors pkts which then get highlighted in nam. This uses event-tracing mechanism in ns and can be helpful in vizualising certain events in nam.

* Improved portability for C++ namespaces (required for gcc-3.2 where the standard C++ libraries like iostream are in namespace stl only).


what's new in nam-1.10/otcl-1.8/tclcl-1.15
--------------------------------------------
Changes in configure to reflect the changed version of tcl/tk (8.4.5) libs.

Anonymous cvs access to ns-2 and related programs has been disabled
due to security concerns.

For now, users who need up-to-date versions of ns should use the daily
snapshots described on the "download ns" web page.

We would like to restore anonymous cvs access but will not do so until
we have confidence in its security.

I've posted a re-release of the ns-allinone package at Sourceforge.  It
is linked from the project wiki also:
- http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Main_Page

The package name is ns-allinone-2.29.3.tar.gz.  Its md5sum is
1b57f93bfeee311cab0780eb03baae0c

This is purely a maintenance release for better installation on gcc
4.1.0 systems such as Fedora Core 5 and for installation on x86_64 Linux
platforms.  Otherwise, it contains identical simulation code to the
previous ns-2.29 release (i.e., it does not have a current CVS
snapshot).  If you already have ns-2.29 release or current snapshot
running, you will probably want to ignore this release.

Thanks to Qihe Wang for providing the gcc 4.1.0 patch (was previously
posted on the ns-users mailing list).

I'd like to officially announce a new project, funded by NSF, to develop
a next major version of ns.  We are calling it the ns-3 project, and the
PIs also include Sally Floyd, George Riley, and Sumit Roy.  We also have
a collaboration with the Planete group at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, where 
Mathieu Lacage has been the main developer.

Broadly, the overall goals of ns-3 are to redesign the simulator in the
following areas:
- software architecture
- integration of existing networking software
- updated models
- educational use
and to perform software maintenance.  More details can be found at the
following page:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Ns-3

The project funding will allow us to staff full-time programmers and to
fund student work on ns.  We will devote some resources to continued
maintenance of ns-2 while we work on developing ns-3.

We intend for the NSF funding to be the seed for a broader open source 
simulation project for the research and educational community.  We 
invite other research groups and individuals to participate in ns-3 
development, review, discussion, and code contribution.  We plan to use 
the ns-developers mailing list for subsequent discussions, so if you're 
interested, please subscribe there.

Tom

In July, we announced that a team of PIs, in collaboration with INRIA,
had obtained funding from NSF to develop the next major version of ns-3:
http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2006-July/056352.html

A small team of us has worked hard over the summer to establish some
project infrastructure, initial designs, and initial code, and we'd like
to announce its availability today at the following website:
http://www.nsnam.org

We will regularly maintain that website and the documentation contained
therein.  Please visit our website if you are interested in contributing
or in tracking the project.  We plan to hold technical discussions on 
the existing ns-developers mailing list.

I am happy to report to you that the initial stable release of ns-3 is
now immediately available.

>From the RELEASE_NOTES file in the distribution ...

Release 3.1 (2008/06/30)
========================

The first ns-3 stable release
-----------------------------

This release is immediately available from:
http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-3.1.tar.bz2

We dedicate this initial ns-3 release to our late contributor and
friend, Federico Maguolo.

What is ns-3 ?
--------------

ns-3 is a new discrete-event network simulator designed for supporting
network research and education. ns-3 features a solid, well documented
C++ core and models for TCP/IP (IPv4), several link types including
WiFi, and mobility models.

ns-3 is an open source project released under the GNU GPLv2 license
which allows anyone to use ns-3 without having to pay any license fee or
royalties. ns-3 is actively seeking new contributors to extend the range
of supported models and/or to maintain existing models.

Where to get more information about ns-3
----------------------------------------

All the ns-3 documentation, is accessible from the ns-3 website:
http://www.nsnam.org

Including, tutorials:
http://www.nsnam.org/tutorials.html

Supported platforms
-------------------

ns-3 is regularly tested on the following platforms:
   - linux x86 gcc 4.2, 4.1, and, 3.4.6.
   - linux x86_64 gcc 4.1.3, 4.2.1, 3.4.6
   - MacOS X ppc and x86
   - cygwin gcc 3.4.4 (debug only)

Known issues
------------

ns-3 is known to fail on the following platforms:
   - gcc 3.3 and earlier
   - optimized builds on gcc 3.4.4 and 3.4.5
   - optimized builds on linux x86 gcc 4.0.x

The IPv4 API defined in src/node/ipv4.h is expected to undergo major
changes in preparation of the merge of the IPv6 API and implementation.

Future releases
---------------

Our next release, which is expected to happen in 2 to 4 months from now,
will feature the merging of some of our projects currently in
development: python scripting, IPv6, emulation, a statistics framework
and synchronous posix sockets.

Dears,

Currently many researchers are sending me emails reporting problems in the
implementation antnet,so I am put the tarball
ns2.33_and_AntNet1.0_compiled.tar.gz ,this package contains the Ns-2.33
compiled with Antnet implemented, the link for download is
http://antnet.wordpress.com , the space on the FTP server was provided by L=
i
Amoos.
Amoos Lin is Ph.D candidate on Department of Electronic Engineering in
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology,Taiwan.

To solve some problems in the implementation I am writing a second version
of the manual for implementation of antnet in ns-2.33, I report some
=91tricks=92.

Hope that I have helped.

Regards,

This is to announce the posting of the ns-2.34 and nam-1.14 source code
releases and a corresponding ns-allinone-2.34 package.

Downloads are available at the Sourceforge project pages:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149743
File checksums are located in the corresponding release notes on
Sourceforge.

ns-2.34 is mainly a maintenance release with the following major
differences from ns-2.33:
1) AOMDV (On-demand Multipath Distance Vector Routing in Ad Hoc
Networks) implementation
2) Tmix synthetic Internet traffic generation tool
3) Collection of bug fixes for 802.11Ext model

In addition, the recent Linux distributions (especially Fedora Core 10)
started to have problems with the previous releases, so there are some
fixes aimed at better 64-bit support and support for Fedora Core 10
(thanks to John Heidemann and Amir Habibi for working these issues).
A more descriptive change log is available at:
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/CHANGES.html.

The nam-1.14 release is purely a maintenance release with no new features.

If people encounter problems with these releases, please post
suggestions to the ns-developers mailing list, or file a bug report:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Contributing#Reporting_a_bug

For troubleshooting or workaround tips, please consult (and contribute
to) the following wiki page:

Hello NS-2 community,

I am glad to announce the availability of the EXtensible Animator for
Mobile Simulations (EXAMS). EXAMS is a visualization tool for wireless
NS-2 simulations.


EXAMS is an open source project available online at:

http://www.livathinos.gr/EXAMS_overview.aspx


EXAMS’ goal is to help the researcher understand the mobile routing
protocol with an exact visual representation of the NS-2 simulation
outcome, while at the same time enabling him to control the animation
process. It can visualize network layout, animate mobile nodes’ movements,
playback packets exchange at routing and agent level, give user the
ability to freely move forward and backwards in simulation time and depict
the network partitions according to given radio range. As regards data
transmissions EXAMS can portray source and destination address, network
level (routing or agent), direction, flow sequence and other. Moreover
EXAMS keeps detailed statistics about data being sent, received, forwarded
or dropped on a node and network basis

EXAMS has been designed with the protocol developer in mind and provides a
complete environment to study, test and debug wireless network protocols.
Its unique characteristic is its extensible architecture which makes it
possible to visualize network protocol’s internal data structures like
routing tables, values for protocol’s state variables, protocol specific
packet types - in fact anything inside the trace file. Technically this is
achievable through protocol extensions which are developed by the protocol
designer himself and are responsible to visualize protocol’s data
according to its own semantics. Additionally the visual environment of
EXAMS incorporates many user friendly features like:

 - Fast jump to a specific line of the trace file.
 - Zoom in/out capability.
 - Filtering of network traffic according to routing and/or agent layer.
 - Screenshots capture to external image file.
 - Color and shape codes for data transmission.
 - Extensive usage of keyboard shortcuts.


Yours faithfully,


Nikos Livathinos

Those of you who may have tried to download the ns-allinone-2.34 package 
  after this release was announced may have found that the file on the 
Sourceforge site was corrupted and couldn't be unzipped.  There is now a 
working file posted at Sourceforge.

a revised and updated version of AntNet for NS-2.33. Since I=92m not an NS-=

Hi All,

I'm happy to announce that ns-3.6 (the latest stable release of ns-3) is now
available at the below location (via tarball):

  http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-allinone-3.6.tar.bz2

And also (via Mercurial):

  hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-allinone
  cd ns-3-allinone
  ./download.py -n ns-3.6 -r ns-3.6-ref-traces

Note:  Bazaar client software (bzr) must be upgraded to version 2.0 to use
Python bindings with the Mercurial option.  Try "bzr version" to see which
version is currently installed on your system.

Please see this "getting started" page if you are new to ns-3:

  http://www.nsnam.org/getting_started.html

Supported platforms
-------------------
ns-3.6 has been tested on the following platforms:
  - linux x86 gcc 4.4.1, 4.2, 4.1, and, 3.4.6.
  - linux x86_64 gcc 4.4.0, 4.3.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.1, 4.1.3, 3.4.6
  - MacOS X ppc and x86 (gcc 4.0.x and 4.2.x)
  - cygwin gcc 3.4.4 (debug only), gcc 4.3.2 (debug and optimized)

Not all ns-3 options are available on all platforms; consult the wiki for
more information:

New user-visible features
-------------------------

  a) 802.11 models:
     - Add an implementation of the minstrel rate control algorithm
       (Duy Nguyen for gsoc)
     - AthstatsHelper: enables the wifi device to produce periodic
       reports similar to the ones generated by madwifi's
       athstats tool (Nicola Baldo)
     - 10MHz and 5MHz channel width supported by 802.11a model
       (Ramon Bauza and Kirill Andreev)
     - Channel switching support. YansWifiPhy can now switch among
       different channels (Ramon Bauza and Pavel Boyko)

  b) IPv6 models:
    - IPv6 interface;
    - IPv6 layer;
    - IPv6 raw socket;
    - Static IPv6 routing;
    - ICMPv6 layer;
    - Some ICMPv6 error messages (destination unreachable, ...);
    - Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NS/NA, RS/RA, redirection);
    - Ping6 application (send Echo request);
    - Radvd application (send RA);
    - Examples (ping6, simple-routing-ping6, radvd, radvd-two-prefix,
      icmpv6-redirect).

  c) Wireless Mesh Networking models:
    - General multi-interface mesh stack infrastructure (devices/mesh
module).
    - IEEE 802.11s (Draft 3.0) model including Peering Management Protocol
and HWMP.
    - Forwarding Layer for Meshing (FLAME) protocol.

  d) Nix-vector routing:
    - Ipv4NixVectorHelper
    - Examples (nix-simple, nms-p2p-nix)

  e) New Test Framework
    - Use test.py instead of ./waf check or ./waf --regression
    - Previous unit tests have been ported to new framework.
    - Examples are tested for run-ability.

  f) A new Flow Monitor module
   - To very easily measure flow metrics in a simulation
   - No need to use trace callbacks or parsing trace files

API changes from ns-3.5
-----------------------
API changes for this release are documented in the file CHANGES.html.

Known issues
------------
ns-3.6 build is known to fail on the following platforms:
  - gcc 3.3 and earlier
  - optimized builds on gcc 3.4.4 and 3.4.5
  - optimized builds on linux x86 gcc 4.0.x
  - MinGW

Enjoy!
