    ns-3 is not thread-safe: you cannot call ns-3 functions and methods from
    another thread than the one that calls simulator::Run. 
    
    However, there is _one_ function that is thread-safe:
    Simulator::ScheduleWithContext so, you could rewrite your code to
    schedule an event with ScheduleWithContext from your data reading thread
    and then, call SendTo from that event. i.e., something like that:
    
    uint32_t nodeId = socket->GetNode()->GetId();
    Time zero = Seconds (0);
    Socket *rawPtr = PeekPointer(socket);
    while (true) {
    
      char *buffer = ...;
      int size;
      size = readdata(buffer);
      Simulator::ScheduleWithContext(nodeId, zero, &SendData, rawPtr,
    buffer, size);
    }
    
    void SendData (Socket *rawPtr, char *buffer, int size)
    {
      Ptr<Packet> p = Create<Packet> (buffer, size);
      socket->SendTo (p, ...);
    }
    
    i.e., be _really_ careful to not call _any_ function other than
    ScheduleWithContext from your secondary thread.

    I do not mean to be discouraging, but, really, why are you not using nsc
    or dce for that ? It seems to me that the cost of implementing sctp is
    much higher than getting either of these emulation layers to work for
    you and reuse the linux kernel sctp implementation.

    Subject: [Ns-developers] DCE quagga update
    Message-ID: <m2zk8n8k35.wl@sfc.wide.ad.jp>
    
    
    Hi Frederic, Mathieu, Tom,
    
    Here is the update of DCE quagga integration.
    # I will publish UMIP (Mobile IPv6 and its children) support
      soon.
    
    http://code.nsnam.org/thehajime/ns-3-dce-quagga
    
    This dce-quagga repository includes all the protocols'
    example and helper of quagga: now RIPv1v2/RIPng, OSPFv2/v3,
    BGP/BGP+, and Rtadvd are runnable on ns-3-dce with Linux
    native stack (ns-3-linux). With ns-3 network stack, it only
    supports OSPFv2 and BGP (IPv4) because of a bunch of
    emulations (i.e., sockopt, cmsg:pktinfo) are not implemented
    yet.
    
    Base version: Quagga 0.99.20 (Thanks to Alexander Afanasyev)
    
    For the starter, you can take a look the manual.
    
    http://code.nsnam.org/thehajime/ns-3-dce-quagga/raw-file/c462db9438a2/doc/build/singlehtml/index.html
    
    # I don't have any host to publish the document. Is there
      any place to do it in nsnam.org?
    
    I've divided this repository from furbani/ns-3-dce,
    expecting the module store (i.e., bake) will take care of
    this complexity.
    
    1) Would it be nice to separate each application (e.g.,
    quagga, umip) to another module? Or is it better to push
    into the ns-3-dce core repository?
    
    Probably I will have the other application helpers in the
    future.
    
    
    2) I have several patches to be able to run quagga on
    ns-3-dce and ns-3-linux. I will let you know soon.
    
    
    
    
    regards,
    hajime

    Well, the oldest gcc I could find on all the distros we're packaging,
    is 4.3 (not 3.4). So I'd guess it's safe to drop 3.4.

    Hello,
    
    I am a newbie to NS2 and I am trying to implement a packet marking
    algorithm in NS2. So inorder to implement packet marking by a node in the
    simulation do i have to write the code in the tcl script or change in the
    compilation files ?? Well Basically as i want to implement the algorithm to
    all the nodes based on the satisfying condition it should mark the packet
    by inserting the node id into the packet header, so how can i do this ??
    
    
    Thanks,
    Vamshi Krishna

    Hello Everyone,
    
    Here is the report of the work done last week on the project.
    
    2nd week of GSOC:
    
       - Reviewed the basic steps of code repository maintenance.
       - Analysis and validation of the Netfilter framework from 2009.
          - Files to be ported over :
             -
    
             - ipv4-netfilter.{cc,h}
             - netfilter-callback-chain.{cc,h}
             - ipv4-netfilter-hook.{cc,h}
             - modifications to ipv4-l3-protocol.{cc,h}
    
             - Identifying essential elements to the Netfilter implementation :
          - specific points on the existing IP code to be hooked. This part of
          the code was added by adding the respective DEBUG commands for
    the specific
          hooks at the hookpoints on the ipv4-l3-protocol. An example was
    also run to
          see if the hook point debug messages appeared accurately.
          - at those points having a call out to the object holding the
          callbacks. These callbacks would be traversed in order of priority.
          - Eventual action to be taken on the packet, i.e accept then pass the
          packet onto the existing IPV4 processing.
    
    
       - Work started on an example with three nodes i.e. n1--n2---n3 structure
       to test the Netfilter,Conntrack and Nat implementations.
       - Documentation and Testing file added specific to Netfilter.
    
    As next steps:
    Get the current three node example working.
    Working on the skeletal code based on existing netfilter callbacks
    Porting over the Callbacks.

    Dear all,
    
    I'm simulating a mesh network on NS-3.13.
    However, I notice a weird behavior regarding the PREQ frames.
    
    According to IEEE 802.11s amendment  (final, 10th sept 2011): to use HWMP
    in PROACTIVE mode, a root must be set and send PREQ frames to the STAs
    (11C.9.4). To use HWMP in REACTIVE mode, a root is not mandatory, but a
    mesh STA should send PREQ frames in broadcast (11C.9.3).
    
    But in NS-3 I notice that the opposite occurs. Based on mesh.cc example,
    when I set a root (i.e. proactive mode), the PREQ frames are sent in
    broadcast (not directly to the STAs). If I do not set root or set it as
    broadcast (reactive), it sends PREQ frames to the specified destination.
    
    If I'm right, the NS-3 runs in REACTIVE mode when it is supposed to run in
    PROACTIVE mode.
    
    Does anybody have noticed this behavior? Or I'm leading to a
    misunderstanding?

    I'm happy to announce the release of ns-3.14, now posted on the project 
    web server.  A significant amount of work went into this release on 
    several fronts:
    - The transport protocol implementations for IP have been refactored so 
    that they can support IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
    - The latest release of the LENA project has been incorporated.   The 
    LTE module has been reworked, with new LTE radio protocol models and an 
    EPC data plane model.  New propagation models (OkumuraHata, ITU-R 
    P.1411, ITU-R P.1238), and a buildings pathloss model, have also been 
    added.  An antenna module, which includes different radiation pattern 
    models, has been added.
    - The Random Early Detection (RED) queue model from ns-2 has been ported.
    - A Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol model for IPv4 has been added.
    - An alternative implementation of the Jakes propagation loss model was 
    added, to include narrowband (or frequency non-selective) cases of 
    multipath propagation.
    - The netanim animator is now bundled with the release and has been 
    added to the documentation.
    
    While many people contributed in significant ways to this release 
    (including the authors of the above modules), I'd like to also recognize 
    and thank Tommaso Pecorella and John Abraham for their substantial 
    maintenance activities and support of the project.
    
    We have a busy summer planned with ns-3.15 scheduled for mid-August; 
    more on that to follow.

    Hello Everyone,
    
    I sincerely apologise for the delay in submission of my weekly report. Last
    week I worked on the following:
    
    1. Changed the default scheduler from map to list and finally rti by small
    changes in simulator.cc
    2. Modified map-scheduler and wrote a basic rti-scheduler.cc and
    rti-scheduler.h implementing scheduler.cc it is basic skeleton for
    implementing a thread for handling RTI request. Tried making thread in the
    class, some problems.
    3. Modified the python script a bit to build object files of the new cpp
    files and .so
    4. Ran the same example with a new scheduler and it was running
    successfully.
    
    I once again apologise for the delay.

    Looks like there was a head that was not merged.  I don't remember ever

    It's in times like these that I really prefer bzr: it doesn't let you shoot

    I discovered the problem when developing this patch.  It automatically adds
    the visualizer module to the (c++) program being executed through waf --run
    when the --vis option is enabled.  For instance:
    
    gjc at gjc-laptop:ns-3-dev$ ./waf --run tcp-star-server --vis
    Waf: Entering directory `/home/gjc/projects/ns/ns-3-allinone/ns-3-dev/build'
    [1467/1733] cxx: examples/tcp/tcp-star-server.cc ->
    build/examples/tcp/tcp-star-server.cc.4.o
    [1644/1733] cxxprogram: build/examples/tcp/tcp-star-server.cc.4.o ->
    build/examples/tcp/ns3-dev-tcp-star-server-debug
    Waf: Leaving directory `/home/gjc/projects/ns/ns-3-allinone/ns-3-dev/build'
    'build' finished successfully (5.558s)
    scanning topology: 9 nodes...
    scanning topology: calling graphviz layout
    scanning topology: all done.
    
    This only has the problem of causing a rebuild of the simulation program
    when the --vis option is enabled.  Personally, I think it's only a minor
    inconvenience.
    
    Any objections to pushing this change?

    Having two heads is probably just local to your repository.  I don't 
    see two heads on my repo, and furthermore, we put in some server-side 
    modifications a while back to prevent the creation of multiple heads 
    (i.e. hg push -f will fail to create two heads).
    
    But the practical implication is that changeset 407d9a51cae8 wasn't 
    really pushed to ns-3-dev.  I did not test whether visualizer actually 
    ran to completion (when fixing bug 1442), but rather whether the 
    visualizer window popped up successfully.  It would be nice if we could 
    automate this somehow, or else we need to be better about having the 
    release manager manually run a particular visualization to successful 
    completion.

    This seems like a useful enhancement; +1 to push.
    
    Going further with this, should we remove 'visualizer' dependency from 
    our example wscripts?  I have noticed that when visualizer is not 
    available on a particular system (e.g. the user has not downloaded the 
    necessary python packages), it disables the compilation of any such 
    examples that have expressed this dependency, even though it is just a 
    pyviz dependency and the example could otherwise be run.

    Yes, I think examples shouldn't have visualizer depedency.  If any do have
    it, it was probably accidentally introduced.
    
    Back to the unmerged changes, this is what my "hg out" command shows me
    now.  As you can see, there are some more commits that never  made it to
    ns-3-dev, so I would like to just "push" everything.  I checked that it
    builds and runs fine.
    
    May I push it all?  The last changeset is the patch I talked about earlier.

    I believe that there was a time in the past when it was necessary to 
    have this dependency, but we can clean it out now.

    I pushed just the two changes:
    
    1. Bug 1410 - Assert in DefaultSimulatorImpl breaks Visualizer module
    
    2. Automatically add the visualizer module to programs running with waf
    --run --vis
    
    I tested, visualizer is working for both C++ and Python programs (though in
    Python you still have to manually import ns.visualizer, in addition to waf
    --pyrun --vis).

    We've had to make a hotfix release to ns-3.14 to address a PyViz issue 
    that wasn't discovered until earlier today, so users who may have 
    downloaded ns-3.14 already should update to the newly posted ns-3.14.1 
    release.

    Hi Adrian,
    
    if I'm not missing something this is a potentially serious issue in
    ns-3 TCP. If I'm missing something, then my students will laugh about
    it once someone stumbles upon this post. But I'm willing to take that.
    
    Please consider the attached code. If you change Tahoe to Reno or
    NewReno, the trace is exactly the same. Why?
    
    Also, there are some reductions in Window size that are not caused by
    lost packets. Why?
    
    Is it caused by OnOffApplication somehow?
    
    Thanks in advance.
    
    Vedran Mileti?

    Subject: [Ns-developers] compiling new module for ns3 got "first 3 seeds =
    	0" error
    Message-ID: <4FD085DC.9030608@um.es>
    
    Hello,
    
    I'm trying to add a new routing protocol to ns3. So I've started with a 
    simple exchange of messages.
    Nodes periodically send a beacon.
    
    When I run a simple scenario with two nodes I got this error.
    
    ****************************
    
    ERROR: First 3 seeds = 0.
    
    ****************************
    
    
    If I use aodv for instance instead of this simple protocol the error 
    does not appear. However, despite the error, the protocol works fine. 
    So, what's the meaining of this error message?
    
    Could you give me a hand?
    
    Thanks,
        Juan Antonio

    you'll typically get this (non-fatal) error if you initialize the 
    global seed to 0:
    
    e.g.
    
    ./waf --run "udp-echo --RngSeed=0"
    
    If you read the background documentation on this generator, it 
    recommends to not set the seed value to 0:
    
    http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lecuyer/myftp/papers/streams00.pdf
    
    but the program will still work; it just may not provide streams with 
    the desired statistical properties.
    
    Is this because you are setting the seed to zero, or are you getting 
    this error otherwise?  Whether you get it or not depends on your usage 
    of the random variable system; for example, this will not raise an 
    error:
    
    ./waf --run "first --RngSeed=0"

    Hello tom,
    
    In my code, there is only one random variable:
    
       beaconTimer_.Schedule (MilliSeconds (UniformVariable ().GetInteger 
    (0, 100)));
    
    Since I haven't set the seed for this variable, this could be the reason 
    of the error message.
    
    Thank you,
        Juan Antonio

    Please try to put your Config::SetDefault() statement before the

    The receiver window is also available as a trace source in 
    TcpSocketBase, so you could write a trace sink similar to what you did 
    for cwnd and see if those are causing the reductions.

    Hello Everyone,
    
    This past week I worked on the following:
    
    1. Got reviews on my scheduler implementation, several design issues
    discussed with the mentor
    2. Designed a new architecture for the scheduler
    3. Installed portico
    4. Ran demo programs in JAVA for HLA13
    5. Established a fedration and make federates join the federation
    
    This week I will be working on ns3Federate Ambassador
    
    Best Regards,

    hi everyone,
    
    I am studying ns-3 API documentation from following link:-
    
    http://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.14/doxygen/classns3_1_1_net_device.html#details
    
    It says:-
    
    "If you want to write a new MAC layer, you need to subclass this base class
    and implement your own version of the *NetDevice::SendTo* method."
    
    but there is no method named "*NetDevice::SendTo*" in source code of
    corresponding file.
    
    please let  me know that whether it is spelling mistake or the method is
    needed to implement in sub-class.
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Kuldeep

    This documentation is out of date; it should perhaps read:
    
    "If you want to write a new MAC layer, you need to subclass this base 
    class and implement your own version of the several pure virtual methods 
    (including NetDevice::Send()) in this class."

    Message-ID: <CAHquBzu+yn+fCOOhicCLqsQTM=bGBvtLMTqMnyqxhDJErG=sqg@mail.gmail.com>
    
    Hello Everyone,
    
    Here is the report of the work done last week on the project.
    
    3rd week of GSOC:
    
       - Three node example with n0---n1---n2 built.
       - The example was tested to get the appropriate hooks to be called at
       the right points:
          - On the sending node, the local out and postrouting are hit
          - On the middle node, the prerouting, forward, and postrouting are hit
          - On the receiving node, the prerouting and local in are hit
       - Discussion on the design of how to port over the existing callbacks on
       the previous work done.
       - Adding the ProcessHook() method in the appropriate places on the code.
       - Getting the original ProcessHook() method to work.
    
    Goals for coming week:
    
       - Porting the call backs and giving them priorities
       - Starting work on the conntrack framework
       - Testing the above implemented.

    Subject: [Ns-developers] Call to InetSocketAddress::IsMatchingType instead
     of Ipv4Address::IsMatchingType in the UdpSocketImpl class.
    Message-ID: <CAHiqhWoLiJVA07OdrVJDzJ6tnQkWbfGLJfC5YzH1pYfW6dmwmg@mail.gmail.com>
    
    Hello,
    
    Version:
    ns-3.14
    
    Module:
    Internet (IPv4/UDP)
    
    Function:
    [UdpSocketImpl::DoSend][1]
    
    Minor Problem:
    The purpose of if statement in line #361 seem to be to ensure that the
    socket is bound (m_endPoint != 0 meaning socket is bound).  Throughout
    the code, m_defaultAddress stores an Ipv4Address.  Hence,
    InetSocketAddress::IsMatchingType (m_defaultAddress) will always be
    false, resulting in an unbound socket remaining unbound.
    
    This doesn't cause a problem because [DoSendTo][2] (which is
    ultimately called by DoSend) ensures that the socket is bound.
    
    Should InetSocketAddress::IsMatchingType (m_defaultAddress) be changed
    to Ipv4Address::IsMatchingType (m_defaultAddress), or am i just being
    too picky?
    
    As an aside, the checks carried out by DoSend, before calling
    DoSendTo, are also carried by the two versions of DoSendTo.
    
    Thank You.

    It seems to me that lines 361-378 could be safely deleted, since as you 
    mentioned, these checks will be performed later.

    Please find the corresponding patch attached to this mail.
    
    
    Release:
    ns-3-dev
    
    Filename:
    src/internet/model/udp-socket-impl.cc
    http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev/file/b1f287b36ff7/src/internet/model/udp-socket-impl.cc
    
    Description:
    Removed redundant checks in UdpSocketImpl::DoSend.
    
    Notes:
    The following checks are performed elsewhere:
      - m_destAddress is an Ipv4Address/Ipv6Address
    in DoSendTo (Ptr<Packet> , const Address ) at line 419/423
      - Socket is bound (m_endPoint != 0)
    in DoSendTo (Ptr<Packet> , Ipv4Address , uint16_t ) at line 440
      - The connection has not been closed for sending (m_shutdownSend == false)
    in DoSendTo (Ptr<Packet> , Ipv4Address , uint16_t ) at line 449
    
    
    Feedback is always welcome :)

    Hello Everyone,
    
    Thing week I worked on the following:
    
    1. Completed work on writing ns3Federate and ns3FederateAmbassador in JAVA
    using portico
    2. Wrote a test by creating a dummy federate  and sharing object between
    the two federates and changing attributes
    3. Wrote a test for checking socket implementation
    4. Wrote supporting scripts and documents
    
    Next Week, I will try to implement a simple Random Walk Example in the
    example Federate and also make ns3 respond accurately.

    Subject: [Ns-developers] random variable changes proposed
    Message-ID: <4FDEBAEB.20706@tomh.org>
    
    Last November, we started to discuss but never finalized some changes to 
    the random variable classes in ns-3:
    http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/2011-November/009583.html
    
    Since that time, some supporting code was merged to ns-3-dev, but we 
    never merged the main code for this.
    
    At the March developers meeting, Mathieu suggested to split the patch 
    into two phases:  1) the new random variable implementation (doesn't 
    change the existing API or models), and 2) changes to the models and 
    helpers.  I did not move forward on 1) at the time since it got too 
    close to the release date.  I'd like to propose merging this for ns-3.15.
    
    I've posted a fresh patch for 1) at the following review URL:
    http://codereview.appspot.com/6305104/
    
    If anyone is interested in reviewing this again, please do so in the 
    next week or so, or request more time.  Meanwhile, we have some 
    additional work to do to create one or more patchsets for the models 
    themselves.

    Subject: [Ns-developers] ns3 question developing a new routing protocol
    Message-ID: <4FDEE2D8.2040304@um.es>
    
    Hello,
    
    I've had to develop a simple routing protocol for ns3. So, I created a 
    class that inherites from Ipv4RoutingProtocol.
    
    According to the Ipv4RoutingProtocol, several methods like RouteInput 
    and RouteOutput have to be overwritten.
    
    When I use an application upon this protocol, I thought that the packet 
    sent from the application should be caught at RouteOutput before leaving 
    the node. However, after debugging the process the RouteOutput method is 
    not invoked as the packet passes through the ip stack.
    
    On the other hand, within the routing protocol I've defined the exchange 
    of periodic messages. These messages are created within the routing 
    protocol and, unlike the previous message from the application, with 
    these messages, the RouteOutput method is invoked.
    
    I have tested both the routing protocol and the application with only 
    two nodes.
    
    How does the routing protocol know that the application is sending a 
    data packet?
    
    Kind regards,
        Juan Antonio

    I don't know, from the description above, what circumstances would 
    cause this behavior, such that your routing protocol sees its own 
    packets at RouteOutput() but other applications do not call into the 
    same RouteOutput().  I would suggest to set a breakpoint at the point in 
    the transport protocol (e.g. UdpSocketImpl::DoSendTo) where RouteOutput 
    is expected to be called by the application, and then set a breakpoint 
    also in the routing protocol (either ListRouting::RouteOutput or your 
    protocol's RouteOutput if you are not using ListRouting) and see what 
    happens.

    Hi,
    
    my best guess is that you forgot to add your protocol to the IP stack. Check?InternetStackHelper::SetRoutingHelper().
    
    Another guess is that you used the ListRouting and something is happening before your own RouteOutput is called.
    
    Mind that if no routing protocol is defined you should receive an error upon receiving a packet, so if you don't have any error you should have a routing protocol already installed... maybe the default one.
    
    Hope it helps.
    
    Cheers,
    
    T.

    Hello,
    
    Thank you Tom and Tommaso.
    
    I set a breakpoint as Tom suggested but I could not identify the 
    problem. So I've simplified the scenario to reduce the noise caused by 
    unnecesary parameters and the likes.
    
    Now I'm starting to compare the behavior of my simple protocol and aodv 
    and it seems that now RouteOutput is invoked.
    
    Thank you again.
    
    Kind regards,
         Juan Antonio

    It's just a typo in the doxygen, the correct name of the event is
    "NotifyRxEndError". I just fixed it in changeset 743aeb2fef78.

    Hello Folks,
    
    Trying to avoid hard work, I played with the Doxygen and Sphinx colors and layout to give a look more like the homepage.  You can see the results by following the links here:
    
    http://www.nsnam.org/~pdbarnes/index.html
    
    Please try them out, let me know of any breakage.
    
    One potential downside is I grabbed a more recent Sphinx, 1.1.2.  nsnam has 1.0.8, which crashes with the new layout.  I haven't investigated how to be compatible with an older version; that would require first figuring out how to revert Sphinx on my system (hints welcome).  So you'd have to update to build new documentation in your own repos.

     Hello everyone,
    
     I have developed a basic version of a DTN Agent implementing the Bundle 
     Protocol in ns-2. Details can be found at 
     http://www.spice-center.org/dtn-agent/. I thought of announcing it here 
     just in case any fellow ns-2 developers are interested so I could get 
     some feedback. I was also wondering if you could add a link to the 
     contributed code page.
     The agent sits on top of the TCP layer and for now it assumes a static 
     network topology. It deals with issues such as bundle fragmentation, 
     retransmission, custody reporting, and basic routing. Comments and 
     suggestions regarding the architecture/implementation of the model are 
     very welcome.
    
     Thank you in advance,
     Dimitris Vardalis

    Hi Peter, 
    
    I'll second what Vedran said. The design and color scheme are very tasteful and well integrated with the web site. Hopefully it wouldn't be much trouble to upgrade Sphinx on nsnam.
    
    Best,

    Yes, it can be upgraded, and it seems that it is straightforward for
    documentation developers to upgrade themselves using easy_install if 
    needed (Sphinx stable release is up to 1.1.3 now).
    
    Thanks Peter!

    I upgraded the server to Sphinx 1.1.3 and I updated the wiki 
    Installation notes to clarify that Sphinx >= 1.1.2 is required for 
    ns-3.15.  It seems that Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 17 support at least this 
    version.

    Hello everyone,
    
    This week i worked on the following:
    
    1. Integrating the server code to one of the NS3 examples.
    2. Testing and debugging of the entire code.
    
    Finally, an external federate is communicating with NS3 by publishing
    objects and modifying attributes through the RTI. :)
    
    Next week I will be working on time synchronization on the 2 federates.
    
    Best Regards,

    Hello Everyone,
    
    I apologize for the delayed mail. Here is the report of the work done last
    week on the project.
    
       - Stepped through the existing code base from 2009 to see the changes
       that need to be made for porting.
       - Ported code for callbacks and basic netfilter framework
       - Tested the code with three node example
       - Ported partially the connection tracking part of the code
       - Started work on Example for the conntrack part.
    
    Goals for coming week:
    
       - Port the code over completely
       - Build examples for all the send case scenarios(only case 3 tested now)
       - Build tests for the above as well
       - Work on documentation for the work.

    Message-ID: <m2wr2to5zs.wl@sfc.wide.ad.jp>
    
    
    Hi all,
    
    I have updated the DCE quagga integration.
    
    http://code.nsnam.org/thehajime/ns-3-dce-quagga
    
    For the starter, you can take a look the manual.
    
    http://www.nsnam.org/~thehajime/ns-3-dce-quagga/index.html
    
    This dce-quagga repository includes all the protocols'
    example and helper of quagga: now RIPv1v2/RIPng, OSPFv2/v3,
    BGP/BGP+, and Rtadvd are runnable on ns-3-dce with Linux
    native stack (ns-3-linux). With ns-3 network stack, it only
    supports OSPFv2 and BGP (IPv4) because of a bunch of
    emulations (i.e., sockopt, cmsg:pktinfo) are not implemented
    yet.
    
    You can take a look the current status of supported
    protocols.
    
    http://www.nsnam.org/~thehajime/ns-3-dce-quagga/getting-started.html#current-status-2012-4-23
    
    Base version: Quagga 0.99.20 (Thanks to Alexander Afanasyev)
    
    Any comments, suggestions, and feature requests are of
    course welcome!
    
    # I will publish UMIP (Mobile IPv6 and its children) support
      soon.

     Dear Kevin,
    
     Thank you for the hint, I' ll make sure to share it with the 
     dtn-interest list.
     For now only TCP is supported, but I am planning on adding UDP as a 
     convergence layer as well.
     I presume that the implementation will be simpler for a UDP version, 
     but at the moment I have
     no solid idea of how it would work. Currently, my main priority is to 
     generalize the routing
     scheme and make the agent applicable to a wider range of scenarios.
    
     Best regards,
     Dimitris Vardalis

    Message-ID: <CANCtAjb4sOvwQaWtqFRNEU=5Z3TgkHTpz5k9Z4qOiY-AF_8puA@mail.gmail.com>
    
    Hi all,
    
    I am forwarding a message I sent to the ns-3-users mailing list, with no
    reply. It is about a problem with the example mesh simulation that is
    distributed with ns-3. I tested it for version 3.11 and 3.14.1; the
    problem occurs with both of them.
    
    Please notice (at the diff) that no sensible changes, other than IPv4
    packet capture, are made regarding the stock implementation. The 'wc -l'
    outputs are useful to verify if there is traffic between the source and
    the destination.
    
    Also, I gently ask you to include me in the further messages, since I
    don't subscribe to the list.

    Subject: Problems with grid configuration in a mesh simulation
    
    Hi,
    
    I am researching some adaptations to HWMP protocol, and I intend to
    simulate them with ns-3. I am trying to execute the default mesh
    simulation (src/mesh/examples/mesh.cc) with some changes: one of them
    is pcap capture for level 3.
    
    There comes the problem: no traffic can be seen between the nodes. The
    capture has only the packages sent by the echo client. If I change the
    simulation and declare a fixed client node (8 instead of
    m_xSize*m_ySize-1, for example, and run the simulation of a 4x4 grid,
    the communication between client and server can be seen in the
    capture. The default configuration is a 3x3 grid; 3x4 does not work;
    4x3 work.
    
    Is there an expected reason for that? I can't see none, but I may be
    overlooking something.
    
    I am pasting the diff below (the modifications are too few so I don't
    think it's worth attaching a patch), along with the results.

    Subject: [Ns-developers] Internship Project to Implement BGP via Quagga
    	without DCE
    Message-ID: <4FECF5A6.3030109@llnl.gov>
    
    Hello, my name is Daniel Howell and I'm interning over the summer at the 
    Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory working on network simulations 
    under Peter Barnes.
    
    My project is implementing BGP in ns-3 simulations with the goal being 
    to run large-scale simulations of 10k+ nodes. I've looked into the 
    recent DCE implementation of Quagga, but from what I saw, it installs 
    individual Quagga processes on each node that runs BGP on it. For a 
    large scale simulation, this would run too slowly. We also want to be 
    able to run our code on any machine ns-3 can normally run on without 
    having to worry about DCE compatibility between computers.
    
    I found this page while researching the problem - 
    http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Real_World_Application_Integration#Quagga_porting. 
    Unfortunately, the repository linked on the wiki no longer exists. Does 
    anyone have the files anymore or any additional notes about it?
    
    I'm currently looking into extending Ipv4RoutingProtocol to implement 
    BGP at the moment, using the OLSRRoutingProtocol that is built-in as an 
    example. This BGPRoutingProtocol class would call upon the Quagga source 
    code for BGP to run. A few spots of challenge would be making sure the C 
    code compiles in the C++ compiler, running ns-3's simulation time 
    instead of real time on Quagga, and having the sockets communicate 
    between ns-3 and Quagga.
    
    I started learning ns-3 just recently for this internship, so I'm not 
    well-versed on the ns-3 data structures. Does this approach make sense 
    or am I misunderstanding/overlooking something? If anyone has the older 
    Quagga Porting code, knows of a similar resource, or can offer any 
    advice or an opinion on this, that'd be very helpful!
    
    Thanks!
    - Daniel Howell

    Subject: [Ns-developers] Issue 6357056: Generic hash function interface,
     with two implementations.
    Message-ID: <388FF216-A425-48DB-BFAA-664F5B77F0A2@llnl.gov>
    
    Hello Folks,
    
    http://codereview.appspot.com/6357056/
    
    This is the first of three of patches to address Bug 582,
    "Tags are not serialized and deserialized from Packet::Serialize and
    Packet::Deserialize" 
    
    https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=582
    
    
    One issue is to serialize the *type* of the derived Tag, when the Packet only has a PacketTagList to work from.  This serialization has to produce a consistent result on every compute node in a parallel cluster, even one with heterogeneous nodes. This can be particularly tricky if the different instances of ns3 don't create TypeId's in the same order, which results in a single type (by name) being represented by different TypeId values (integers) on different nodes.
    
    One approach, partially implemented by Jeffrey Young at Georgia Tech, is to serialize the TypeId name (a string).  This seems unattractive because it takes time and space, typically much more space than the tag data itself (which is limited to 20 bytes).
    
    The alternative approach proposed here is to add a consistent 32-bit hash to the TypeId, then pass that to identify the tag type.
    
    To simplify review, I've split this into three patches:
    
    1.  Add class Hash:  generic hash function interface, with two implementations (this review).
    
    2.  Add hashes to TypeId.
    
    3.  Use TypeId hash to serialize Tags.
    
    This review covers the Hash class and implementation.  The class itself provides a simple API for callers to hash objects.  It wraps multiple underlying hash function implementations.  This patch includes the venerable FNV1a, and murmur3.
     
    
    It is straightforward to add new implementations.   If your hash function has the right signature, it can be as simple as:
    
        Hash (Ptr<HashImplementation> (Hash32Implementation<&hashf>))

    This patch does three things:
    
    * Add a hash value to the TypeId; allow lookup by hash.
    
    * Add two maps to IidManager, to speed lookups by name or hash.  Microbenchmarks show this is significantly faster with our 400 registered TypeIds.
    
    * Add a TypeId test suite.
    
    Note:  this is to be applied *on top of* the Hash patch,

    I didn't view this as spam; it is standard procedure to alert the 
    developers list about reviews requested on ns-3-reviews (follow-up can 
    go on ns-3-reviews).
    
    I also added your links to the ns-3.15 wiki page under simulation core 
    bugs being worked for this release, and a link to them from bug 582.

    Hi Daniel, I'm sure that this type of addition would be welcome by many 
    ns-3 users.
    
    I worked on a similar project to support quagga OSPFv3 in GTNeTS several 
    years ago (link is posted on the wiki page that you cited above).  It 
    ended up being not too hard because there weren't too many global data 
    structures in OSPFv3 (the current quagga BGP might have more of these 
    issues to deal with than OSPFv3; I'm not sure).  However, it was 
    intrusive to plumb in the compatibility layer, which made it very 
    difficult to maintain with new quagga releases).  A nicer technique 
    might be to study whether techniques used in Sam Jansen's network 
    simulation cradle could be adapted to perform this conversion in a 
    mostly automated way, so that different variants of quagga could be 
    supported.
    
    Please also look at the quagga BGP work that Ga. Tech did in this regard 
    many years ago (also linked in the above page).
    
    I think that your suggested approach would fit the ns-3 architecture.
