7254 | 41 |
- The build system has been modularized, and the source code reorganized, |
42 |
to allow for modular libraries instead of a single monolithic ns-3 |
|
43 |
library. User programs now link a number of smaller, per-module |
|
44 |
libraries depending on the dependencies expressed to the build system. |
|
45 |
Source code is now being maintained in individual modules with |
|
46 |
consistent directory structures. |
|
47 |
||
48 |
- Python bindings have also been modularized, and the bindings are now |
|
49 |
generated into a 'ns' namespace instead of 'ns3' for the old |
|
50 |
(monolithic) bindings. By default the bindings are now modular, with |
|
51 |
a backward compatibility layer for older programs. |
|
52 |
||
53 |
- By default, example and test programs are disabled from the build. |
|
54 |
Users can enable them via the use of a waf command at configure time, |
|
55 |
or automatically through the use of a new .ns3rc file. |

- An interface to the Click Modular Router and an Ipv4ClickRouting |
61 |
class has been added, to allow a node to use Click for external routing. |
|
62 |
||
63 |
- An interface to an OpenFlow software implementation distribution has |
|
64 |
been added to allow the simulation of OpenFlow switches in ns-3. |
|
7206 | 65 |
|
7254 | 66 |
- ns-3 coding style requirements have been applied to the entire coding |
67 |
base, resulting in a large number of whitespace changes. The coding |
|
68 |
style has been automatically enforced by running a style checking |
|
69 |
program (utils/check-style.py) that uses the uncrustify (v. 0.58) |
|
70 |
program to apply changes. |
|
71 |
||
72 |
- Some documentation reorganization to split documentation between |
|
73 |
the ns-3 manual (primarily focusing on the ns-3 core) and a new |
|
74 |
"model library" document has been started. |

e) Equal-cost multipath for global routing: Enables quagga's equal |
661 |
cost multipath for Ipv4GlobalRouting, and adds an attribute that |
|
662 |
can enable it with random packet distribution policy across |
|
663 |
equal cost routes. |
|
664 |
||
665 |
f) Binding sockets to devices: A method analogous to a SO_BINDTODEVICE |
|
666 |
socket option has been introduced to class Socket |
|
667 |
||
668 |
g) Object::DoStart: Users who need to complete their object setup at |
|
669 |
the start of a simulation can override this virtual method, perform their |
|
670 |
adhoc setup, and then, must chain up to their parent. |
|
671 |
||
672 |
h) Ipv4::IsDestinationAddress method added to support checks of whether a |
|
673 |
destination address should be accepted as one of the host's own |
|
674 |
addresses. |
|
675 |
||
676 |
i) UniformDiscPositionAllocator added; distributes uniformly the nodes |
|
677 |
within a disc of given radius. |
|
678 |
||
679 |
j) ChannelNumber attribute added to YansWifiPhy. Now it is possible to |
|
680 |
setup wifi channel using WifiPhyHelper::Set() method. |
|
681 |
||
682 |
k) WaypointMobilityModel provides a method to add mobility as a set of |
|
683 |
(time, position) pairs |

Warning: among API changes in this release, Application::Start and |
1151 |
Application::Stop now interprets the time argument as a relative |
|
1152 |
instead of absolute simulation time, to align with how Simulator::Schedule |
|
1153 |
behaves. Any code that calls these APIs in the middle of the simulation |
|
1154 |
will need to be adapted. |
|
1155 |
||
1156 |
The API of Simulator::StopAt (time) has also changed. Now it is |
|
1157 |
called Simulator::Stop (time), and takes a relative time, instead of |
|
1158 |
absolute. |
