Manuale di Network Simulator v.2

Capitolo 2 - Documentazione ed espansione di ns

a cura di Sandro Petrizzelli

NS è in continua espansione, data la necessità ed il desiderio degli utilizzatori di aggiungere sempre nuovi protocolli. Sfortunatamente, la documentazione non cresce “proporzionalmente” all’espansione del codice. Questo paragrafo serve perciò semplicemente a dare una idea di cosa non è stato ancora documentato e, visto che ci siamo, di cosa deve ancora essere perfezionato.

• MPLS appeared only in daily snapshots and releases after 09/14/2000.)_

• need to document hierarchical routing/addressing (Padma has done)

Queueing

Transport

• need to document MFTP

• need to document RTP (session-rtp.cc, etc.)

• need to document multicast building blocks

• should repair and document snoop and tcp-int

Traffic and scenarios (new section)

• should add a description of how to drive the simulator from traces

• should add discussion of the scenario generator

• should add discussion of http traffic sources

Application

• is the non-Haobo http stuff documented? no.

Scale

• should add disucssion of mixed mode (pending)

Emulation
