At the end of a lab session you DELIVER the report on the previous lab assignment • i.e.: on the session of Tue. Sept. 11th, you are expected to deliver a report on the lab assignment discussed in the session of Sept. the 4th. 4

Some resources • NS simulator for beginners: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Eitan.Altman/ns.htm http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Eitan.Altman/COURS-NS/n3.pdf • NS by example: http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/ • The ns-2 wiki, user information: http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/User_Information • Gettingstartedwith ns-2: http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Getting_Started_with_NS-2
Installation • For Linux (Redhat, Ubuntu), FreeBSD, or other, • gcc needed • download ns-allinone software package, unzip (tar) • building ns from the sources (./install) • remember the enviromental variables (.bashrc in your own directory) • For Windows • using Vmware Player (Free) • will be the one used later on for the Lab • download the ubuntu image for vmware, and install ns on your linux system: DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COURSE WEB-PAGE • using Cygwin (Free) • install Cygwin (www.cygwin.com), install all the packages if you don’t know which one you need instead of the defaut one • download nsallinonesoftware package, unzip (tar) to one directory build ns source (./install) • remember the enviromental variable (.bashrc) • See Lab instructions or NS2 homepage for detailed information
NS2 Hello World! (hello.tcl) set ns [new Simulator] $ns at 1 “puts \“Hello World!\”” $ns at 1.5 “exit” $ns run $ $ ns hello.tcl Hello World! $ | 11
Tcl programming fundamentals 1/4 # Thisisacomment,thetclinterpreterwillnot“see”it set b 0assigns to b the value 0 set x $aassigns to variable ‘x’ the value of variable ‘a’ • To usethe value assigned to a variable, we use the $ sign before the variable. set x [expr $a + $b] • A mathematical operation is done using the expr(ession) command. set myFilePtr [open my_filename w] opens my_filename for writing and gives you the pointer myFilePtr 12
Tcl programming fundamentals 2/4 puts $myFilePtr "text" • each time the puts command is used, a new line is started. • To avoid new line, one has to add -nonewline after puts • Tabulating is done by inserting \t puts "[expr 1/60]"will print ‘0’ on the screen • In Tcl the variables have no specific type, so a variable can be a string or an integer depending on the value you assign to it. puts "[expr 1 .0/60 .0]"to get the correct result exec xgraph data &Executes the unix program xgraph with input the file data. the & is used for background running 13
Tcl programming fundamentals 3/4 if { expression } { <execute some commands> } else { <execute some commands> } • The “if” command can be nested with other “if”s and with “else”s that can appear in the ”<execute some commands>” part • To test for equality, we use == • For inequality, we use != for {set i 0} {$i < 5} {incr i} { <execute some commands> } 14
Tcl programming fundamentals 4/4 procblue { par1 par2 . . . } { global var1 var2 <commands> return $something } This procedure is called by typing: blue x y in our tcl script • The values of x and y will be used by the procedure for par1 and par2. If par1 and par2 are changed within the procedure, this will not affect the values of x and y at the caller level (…“by value” argument passing) • On the other hand, if we wish the procedure to be able to affect directly variables external to it, we have to declare these variables as "global". In the above example these are var1 and var2 15
TCL basic #2 break:could be used here... Notice there is a TCL commands wiki at: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ fmod:Return the remainder after dividing expression x by expression y. 17
Basic scripting: initialization & termination 3. The finish procedure: Flushing & closing the traces proc finish{} { global ns trc_file nam_file $ns flush-trace close trc_file close nam_file exec nam out.nam & exit 0 } • 2. Output Traces: • set file1 [open out.tr w] • $ns trace-all $trc_file • Data trace for all links • set file2 [open out.nam w] • $ns nametrace-all $nam_file • Visual trace using the nam file format 1. Create a Simulator object set ns [new Simulator] 18
Definition of nodes & links Create nodes set n0 [$ns node] set n1 [$ns node] Link the nodes Format follows: duplex-link $n0 $n1 <bandwidth> <propdelay> <queue_type> e.g.: $ns duplex-link $n0 $n1 1Mb 10ms 19
An example • Check: ns-default.tcl • Find there default value Create nodes 21
Basic networking scripts • An ”automated” topology example for {set i 0} {$i < 7} {incr i} { set n($i) [$ns node] } for {set i 0} {$i < 7} {incr i} { $ns duplex-link $n($i) $n([expr($i+1)%7]) 1Mb 10ms RED }
tcp/udp n0 n1 sink Agents and applications • Creating Data Connections • TCP set tcp [new Agent/TCP] set tcpsink [new Agent/TCPSink] $ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp $ns attach-agent $n1 $tcpsink $ns connect $tcp $tcpsink • UDP set udp [new Agent/UDP] set null [new Agent/NULL] $ns attach-agent $n0 $udp $ns attach-agent $n1 $null $ns connect $udp $null
ftp tcp n0 n1 sink Basic Scripts • Generating Traffic • FTP set ftp [new Application/FTP] $ftp attach-agent $tcp • Telnet set telnet [new Application/Telnet] $telnet attach-agent $tcp • CBR set src [new Application/Traffic/CBR] • Exponential, or Pareto on-off set src [new Application/Traffic/Exponential] set src [new Application/Traffic/Pareto] .........
Basic Scripts • Insert Link dynamics • Creating Error Module set loss_module[new ErrorModel] $loss_moduleset rate_ 0.01 $loss_moduleunit pkt $loss_module ranvar[new RandomVariable/Uniform] $loss_moduledrop-target [new Agent/Null] • Inserting an Error Module $ns lossmodel $loss_module$n0 $n1
Basic Scripts • Schedule Events and Run Simulation • Schedule Events $ns at <time> <event> • <event>: any legitimate ns/tcl command $ns at 0.5 “$cbr start” $ns at 4.5 “$cbr stop” • Call ‘finish’ $ns at 5.0 “finish” • Run the simulation $ns run
Visualizing NAM • Remember this: 27
Visualizing NAM • Nodes • Color $node color red • Shape (can’t be changed after simulation starts) $node shape box (circle, box, hexagon) • Label (single string) $ns at 1.1 “$n0 label \”web cache 0\””
Visualizing NAM • Links • Color $ns duplex-link-op $n0 $n1 color "green” • Label $ns duplex-link-op $n0 $n1 label “backbone"
Visualizing NAM • Layout • “Manual” layout: specify everything $ns duplex-link-op $n(0) $n(1) orient right $ns duplex-link-op $n(1) $n(2) orient right $ns duplex-link-op $n(2) $n(3) orient right $ns duplex-link-op $n(3) $n(4) orient 60deg • If anything missing automatic layout
