This project consist of two different things:
- A set of opportunistic protocols, in particular FLOP.
- The NS3 Simulator with ns-3-dce module and small modifications to simulate the protocol.
Steps to configure and build the project:
- Install tools:
~$ sudo apt-get install lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev luarocks python-pygccxml qt4-dev-tools python-pygoocanvas python-setuptools python-dev autoconf p7zip-full cmake bzr
~$ sudo luarocks install loop
- Clone the repository
~$ git clone https://github.com/rfuentess/FLOP.git
~$ cd FLOP/
~/FLOP$ git submodule init
~/FLOP$ git submodule update
~/FLOP$ cd ns-3-dce-git
~/FLOP/ns-3-dce-git$ git checkout xopxe
~/FLOP/ns-3-dce-git$ cd ..
- Build the platform
~/FLOP$ hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/bake
~/FLOP$ export BAKE_HOME=`pwd`/bake
~/FLOP$ export PATH=$PATH:$BAKE_HOME
~/FLOP$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$BAKE_HOME
~/FLOP$ bake.py configure -c bakeconf_rong.xml -p rong -i ns3 --sourcedir=.
~/FLOP$ bake.py download
Note, the last step will warn of one failure: ">> Searching for system dependency pygraphviz - Problem". Thats ok.
FIXME: now seems to be failing pygccxml, which seems to be safe also.
~/FLOP$ bake.py build
If install fails, you may be missing some packages. Use "bake.py check" and "bake.py download -v" to find out what you're missing.
- Build lua with statically linked libraries
~/FLOP$ cd lua-static/luasocket-2.0.2/src/
~/FLOP/lua-static/luasocket-2.0.2/src$ precompiler.lua -o luasocketscripts -l "?.lua" socket.lua socket/ftp.lua socket/http.lua socket/smtp.lua socket/tp.lua socket/url.lua mime.lua ltn12.lua
~/FLOP/lua-static/luasocket-2.0.2/src$ preloader.lua -o fullluasocket luasocket.h mime.h luasocketscripts.h
~/FLOP/lua-static/luasocket-2.0.2/src$ make static copy clean
~/FLOP/lua-static/luasocket-2.0.2/src$ cd ../../lua-5.1.5/src/
~/FLOP/lua-static/lua-5.1.5/src$ make ns3 copy clean
~/FLOP/lua-static/lua-5.1.5/src$ cd ../../../
- Run the simulation
~/FLOP$ ./runsims.sh
-
Explanation:
The runsims script does the following:
- Runs the simulation 5 times, storing the results in the util/plot/flopnalisis2.txt file.
- Each simulation run consists of the following:
- (re)create the ns-3-dce-git/files-* folders, where the the environment for each node is stored.
- Run the utils/config-dce-rong-cell2.sh script, that will generate the main program for each node and store it in the above mentioned folder.
- Run ther mobility scenario, in this case dce-rong-cell (the source is at ns-3-dce-git/myscripts/ron/dce-rong-cell.cc)
- The log for each execution is in ns-3-dce-git/files-/var/log//
- The log parsing script is run.
