[Ns-developers] Project ideas for GSOC 2010

[Tommaso Pecorella]

Hi,

I found that in GSOC '10 is still listed as a possible topic "Large Scale Topology Generation and Management." Since an incoming patch will partially cover this subject, I think the topic should be slightly reviewed.

In particular it could be interesting to take into account different level (tiers) topology generations, such as AS-level and LAN-level, thus basically using two or more different topology generation systems to build up the network.

A complete different topic could be this one:

Category of Idea
Mentor: err... I fear it would be me, since I'm proposing it.
	• title of the idea. ns-2  incorporates support for satellite network simulations. Since that work some relevant standards have been approved, particularly by ETSI. This project would investigate the architecture needed to support ETSI-BSM interfaces and some simple satellite return links, like bent-pipe and basic DVB-RCS.
		• Required Experience: C++
		• Bonus Experience:  Satellite communication protocols.
		• Interests: Satellite systems, Bandwidth-on-demand, control theory

Cheers,

Tommaso

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
And if you really don't like all the standards you just have to wait another year until the one arises you are looking for.
