C/C++ Where Can I Find NS-3 Sliding Window Simulation Code in C++?

    Network Simulation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using NS-3, a C++ network simulator, to implement the sliding window protocol for simulating delayed packet handling in network communications. The user seeks assistance in coding this functionality and recording metrics like delay and throughput. Initial guidance emphasizes the importance of familiarizing oneself with NS-3 by running sample simulations and modifying existing example code to understand the development process. The sliding window method involves buffering packets at the receiver to ensure they are processed in the correct order, with acknowledgments sent for received packets while managing retransmissions for missing ones. The user also inquires about existing code resources online to aid in their implementation.

Hello guys i want to compose a code (in C++) for Ns3 to simulate the fuctionality of sliding window , maybe can help me somebody!
 
Technology news on Phys.org
NS3 is a network simulator that works with C++. I have never used it before.
Sliding window can be used in a network protocol for dealing with delayed packets that need to be presented to the application in the order sent.

So tell me about Ns3. Won't you have to implement the a version of the sliding window algorithm/protocol to have Ns3 simulate it?
 
Sliding window Simulate In Ns3

Mrs Scott Thank u for immediately response in my answer, i installed Ns3 in my computer is network simulator, now i must to compose a sliding window code to simulate this in Ns3 and record the measurements of delay and throughput, sliding window operation you can find in this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_window_protocol.

I think I'm catching on to your situation. There seems to be two possible issues.

First: I'm guessing that you have done some C++ coding before - perhaps as part of a college course. But this is the first time you've had to work with a package like Ns3 - where some investigation is needed before you even know where your code goes.

What you need to do is:
1) Get any simulation working. Just so you know what to expect when things are working.
2) Build the sample code and get it working. Almost any package of this sort will have example code - probably supporting TCP-IP or a variant. During the development of Ns3, test cases needed to be developed to verify that Ns3 worked. Those test cases are almost always included as part of the package - in the form of sample code.
3) Make a copy of the sample code and make some small change - build it - run it. This is the equivalent of the "Hello World" exercise. Once you have accomplished this, you have a minimal understanding of the build and run process.

Second: It's not clear from your post whether you understand the "Sliding Window" method. In TCP, packets are numbered. On the receiving side, the packets need to be buffered because they may not be arriving in the correct order. So if packets 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10 have been received, packet 1 can be passed on, but the other packets (3, 5, 8, 9, and 10) need to be held until packet 2 arrives. So packet 1 will be acknowledged and the retransmission of packet 2 will be arranged.

Let's say a sliding window of 8 packets is established. When the connection is first established, the sender can send packets 1 through 8 - but no more. The receiver might then receive 1, 3, 4, and 8. And would immediately acknowledge that packet 1 has been received. The receiver, on learning that packet 1 had been received, would move his sliding window from 1-8 to 2-9, and would then send packet 9. The missing packet 2 would be negotiated in the same way as before.

BTW: I'm a Mr, not a Mrs. But just call me Scott or .Scott.
 
Hello guys,

Can you please compose code of Sliding Window for NS-3? Is there any cource code available in Internet?

Thanks in advance
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
