NORM ns-2 Support
This directory contains files for incorporating the NORM protocol
into the ns-2 network simulation tool.
(The NORM ns-2 support may need a little tweaking to work)
FILES:
nsNormAgent.h
nsNormAgent.cpp - C++ files which implement an ns-2 derivative of
the NormSimAgent class defined in the
../common/normSimAgent.h files.
nackCount.cpp - Source code to count sent & suppressed NACKs
from the reports in NORM debug log files.
(build with "gcc -o nc nackCount.cpp")
example.tcl - Very simple ns-2 TCL script illustrating the
use of a NORM agent.
simplenorm.tcl - Parameterized ns-2 TCL script which can be
used to evaluate NORM in a hub & spoke
topology.
suppress.tcl - Executable TCL script which iteratively
invokes "ns" with the "simplenorm.tcl"
script and "nc" (nackCount) to evaluate
NORM NACK suppression performance.
ns-2.1b9-Makefile.in - Patched version of ns-2.1b9 Makefile.in
with NORM, MDP & PROTOLIB stuff included.
(MDP stuff can be removed if desired)
ns-2.1b7a-Makefile.in - Patched version of ns-2.1b7a Makefile.in
with NORM & PROTOLIB stuff included.
TO BUILD NS-2 with NORM Agent capabilities:
1) Put "protolib" and "norm" source tree directories into the ns-2
source code directory.
2) Add PROTOLIB and NORM paths, macros, and, source objects to
the ns-2 "Makefile.in" (See the included patched "
ns-2.1b7-Makefile.in" as an example)
(A future version of this README will include detailed instructions
to patch ns-2 for PROTOLIB and NORM support)
3) Run "./configure" in the ns-2 source directory.
4) Use "make ns" to rebuild ns-2 with the NORM/PROTOLIB support.
