Download, configure, compile, and install NS-3 and ndnSIM. For more information refer to http://ndnsim.net
Example steps to install NS-3 and ndnSIM in optimized mode (without logging, but with all compiler optimizations):
# switch to some folder outside this repository. For example, to ~/Downloads
cd ~/Downloads/
mkdir ndnSIM
cd ndnSIM
git clone git://github.com/cawka/ns-3-dev-ndnSIM.git ns-3
(cd ns-3; git checkout -b ndnSIM-0.4.3 origin/ndnSIM-0.4.3)
git clone git://github.com/cawka/pybindgen.git pybindgen
git clone git://github.com/NDN-Routing/ndnSIM.git ns-3/src/ndnSIM
(cd ns-3/src/ndnSIM; git checkout -b v0.4.3 v0.4.3)
cd ns-3
./waf configure -d optimized
./waf
# install to /usr/local
sudo ./waf install
For more information how to install NS-3 and ndnSIM, please refer to http://ndnsim.net website.
(switch back to this repository)
./waf configure
or (configure in debug mode with logging enabled)
./waf configure --debug
If you have installed NS-3 in a non-standard location, you may need to set up PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable.
For example, if NS-3 is installed in /usr/local/, then the following command should be used to
configure scenario
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./waf configure
or
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./waf configure --debug
Normally, you can run scenarios either directly
./build/<scenario_name>
or using waf
./waf --run <scenario_name>
If NS-3 is installed in a non-standard location, on some platforms (e.g., Linux) you need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./build/<scenario_name>
or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./waf --run <scenario_name>
When running using ./waf, it is possible to run scenario with visualizer:
./waf --run <scenario_name> --vis

Simulation scenario:
scenarios/car-relay.cc
To automatically run 10 runs of simulations with different parameters for the figure and build a graph for the simulation:
./waf
./run.py -s figure-3-data-propagation-vs-time
To rebuild the graph without rerunning the simulation:
./run.py figure-3-data-propagation-vs-time
User ./run.py -h
for other options.
Note that provided scripts rely on R (http://www.r-project.org/) with proto, ggplot2, and doBy modules to be installed. For example, after you install R, run the following to install necessary modules:
sudo R
install.packages ('proto')
install.packages ('ggplot2')
install.packages ('doBy')
Simulation scenario:
scenarios/car-relay.cc
To automatically run 10 runs of simulations with different parameters for the figure:
./waf
./run.py -s figure-4-data-propagation-vs-distance
To rebuild the graph without rerunning the simulation:
./run.py figure-4-data-propagation-vs-distance
Simulation scenario:
scenarios/car-relay.cc
To automatically run 10 runs of simulations with different parameters for the figure:
./waf
./run.py -s figure-5-retx-count
To rebuild the graph without rerunning the simulation:
./run.py figure-5-retx-count
