Collection of NS2 Reading Material [Tutorials and Documents] – Wired and Wireless

Hi Folks,

In this post i am posting a sea of (network simulator) NS2 reading material (files and resources) that i have collected over the years. Many of us researchers usually face the problem of finding good reading material on ns2 and usually just type ns2 in Google and hourly browse through hundreds of links that Google shows up. That may prove fruitful although its tiring and agonizing. (I have done that quite a lot now). Also we search for problems being faced by us when we carry out simulations and in the end we find no solutions. (NS2 problems will be like that for many years to come. 😦 ) As far as NS2 is concerned my personal experience is that you are on your own.

This post would somewhat enthrall you and you might eventually like it as it contains lots of reading materials and resources that could be of much help to budding researchers like me in the field of networking. This is just a small effort from my side to the little known NS2 Research Community.

Please leave comments, suggestions, and an encouraging word of thanks in the comments.

[How To] Display Routing Table of AODV in ns-2.34

Hi Folks,

In this post I shall tell about how to display routing table of nodes while using AODV protocol. I read various tutorials online but most of them failed to exactly display the routing tables or were unable to exactly specify where to put the print_routing_table() function. And by using these methods I kept getting segmentation faults or huge files displaying routing tables even when the node count was 5 with only 1 traffic source. However i have used some of those tutorials and modded them to work fine “cuz u know no one writes code from scratch”. My grandfather did that and he is old by now.

Let’s begin:

Step 1) Open file aodv_rtable.h . Go to class aodv_rtable and in its public scope declare a member function

void rt_display(nsaddr_t id);

Step 2) Open file aodv_rtable.cc . Go to end and type this (read copy-paste 🙂 )

void
aodv_rtable::rt_display(nsaddr_t id)
{
FILE *dumpFile;
dumpFile = fopen("rtable.txt", "a+");
aodv_rt_entry *rt = rthead.lh_first;
for(; rt; rt = rt->rt_link.le_next) {
// You can add more route table entries if you want to. See aodv_rtable.h for more entries.
fprintf(dumpFile, "NODE: %d \t %f \t %d \t %d \t %d \t %d \t %.4f \t %d \n", id, CURRENT_TIME,
rt->rt_dst, rt->rt_nexthop, rt->rt_hops, rt->rt_seqno, rt->rt_expire, rt->rt_flags);
}
fclose(dumpFile);
}

Step 3) (Important One) Open file aodv.cc . Go to the function
AODV::rt_update(aodv_rt_entry *rt, .... )

At the end of inside this function call the rt_display() function as:

rtable.rt_display(index);

Step 4) Compile using make and sudo make install inside the ns-2.34 directory.

Step 5) run your tcl file (here is the file if u want to test). The rtable.txt should look like this rtable.txt  ..
