Install Fights in Linux

While I find a solution to execute different BRITE configuration files or how to export ns2 topologies to ns3, I found this application compatible with ns-3.25 (since last week available). To try it, follow these commands: git clone https://github.com/idaholab/Topology_Generator.git cd Topology_Generator  qmake make ./ns-3-generator You can generate a C++ or a Python code and export your topology as XML code. Also, you can create applications, like ping, UDP Echo or TCP Transfer. I tested and it works! Enjoy it!

First, you need to download Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling): sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt eclipse-mercurialeclipse Maybe, you will have problems to run eclispse and it will close: An extract of the log: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The bundle "org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.301.dist [1]" could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: CDC-1.1/Foundation-1.1,J2SE-1.4 !MESSAGE Bundle initial@reference:file:plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.301.dist.jar was not resolved. !MESSAGE Missing required capability Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter="(|(&(osgi.ee=CDC/Foundation)(version=1.1))(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.4)))" To solve it, you must change your java version to other compatible with eclipse. In my case, I was using openjdk9, and I switch it for openjdk8-jre. sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre sudo update-alternatives --config java ...

Bake is an open source integration tool implemented in Python and it is used to automate the build of a number of projects which depend on each other. First, install ns3 dependencies: sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev mercurial gdb valgrind gsl-bin libgsl0-dev flex bison tcpdump sqlite sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev vtun lxc uncrustify doxygen graphviz imagemagick texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-generic-extra texlive-generic-recommended python-pygraphviz python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas libgoocanvas-dev Now, download bake and check the dependencies: mkdir ns3 cd ns3 hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/bake cd bake python bake.py check  > Python - OK  > GNU C++ compiler - OK  > Mercurial - OK  > CVS - is missing  > GIT - OK  > Bazaar - is missing  > Tar tool - OK  > Unzip tool - OK  > Unrar tool - is missing  > 7z  data compression ut...

If you want debug your simulation, a good option is use gdb. If you want create breakpoints (watchpoints) in your file, just add this line: ns3::BreakpointFallback();  Also, you can do it by the classic way with these lines: #include <signal.h> raise(SIGINT); Now, just execute: ./waf --command-template="gdb %s" --run $FILE_NAME run Whre $FILE_NAME is your simulation file, frequently located at scratch folder. As you can see with "where", the breakpoint was in line 101. You will get these follows signals: Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. 0x00007fffeaba02a9 in raise (sig=5) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c:35 35 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c: No such file or directory. Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x00007fffeaba02a9 in raise (sig=2) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c:35 35 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c: No such file or directory.

NetAnim is a GUI for ns3 (like visualizer). The last version 3.107 comes with ns3-allinone-3.25. To compile it follow these commands: #Install required software sudo apt-get install mercurial qt4-dev-tools #Download netanim from mercurial hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/netanim #or use it from ns3-allinone-3.25 cd netanim-3.107 make clean qmake NetAnim.pro  (For MAC Users: qmake -spec macx-g++ NetAnim.pro) make  ./NetAnim To generate an xml file compatible with netanim, you must add the following lines to your simulation file. // netanim headers   #include "ns3/netanim-module.h" // file's name to run on netanim   std::string animFile = "example.xml" ;    AnimationInterface anim (animFile); // background image. Starts on 0,0, the image is not resized (scale 1,1) and the image has no transparency (alpha channel is one).   anim.SetBackgroundImage("potential_google_fiber_cities.png",0,0,1,1,1); // Set position of node 0 in the...

NS3 by default use openflow version 0.8.9, it's very outdated. To install this module, first we'll check the modules compatibility with our Ubuntu 16.04: sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev sudo apt-get install mercurial bzr gdb valgrind gsl-bin libgsl0-dev libgsl0ldbl flex bison gcc g++ tcpdump sqlite sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev vtun lxc uncrustify doxygen graphviz imagemagick texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-generic-extra texlive-generic-recommended python-pygraphviz python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas libgoocanvas-dev hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-allinone cd ns-3-allinone && ./download.py cd ns-3-dev ./waf configure --enable-examples --enable-tests  BRITE Integration             : not enabled (BRITE not enabled (see option --with-brite)) MPI Support                   : not enabled (option --enable-mpi not selected) NS-3 Click In...
