[Ns-developers] Linux 2.6.28 for network simulation cradle

[Florian Westphal]

Hello,

I've uploaded a port of Linux 2.6.28 for use with network simulation
cradle to http://code.nsnam.org/fw/nsc-linux-2.6.28/ .

I did not commit this to the main nsc distribution because I didn't
find any particular new features as compared to the existing 2.6.26
port on x86 and thus I decided against bloating the NSC repository even
more.

To use 2.6.28 with nsc:

1. clone the nsc-linux-2.6.28 repository and put it
into the nsc top level directory
2. add 'SConscript("nsc-linux-2.6.28/SConscript")' to the SConstruct file
3. Then, run "python scons.py nsc-linux-2.6.28" to build the 2.6.28 port.

The library will be called liblinux2.6.28.so.

I will see if I can have a 2.6.29 port ready when Linux 2.6.29 gets
released; this might be more appropriate for inclusion in NSC mainline
because of the updated default TCP congestion control algorithm (CUBIC
V2.3).

Thanks,
	Florian
