CoDel's patch for ns-2.31 (to support TCP Evaluation Suite)

Controlled Delay (CoDel) is a newly proposed AQM mechanism developed by Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson. CoDel is parameterless and controls the delay, while insensitive to round-trip delays, link rates, and traffic loads. CoDel's patch is originally designed for ns-2.35. The patch for ns-2.35, instructions for download and trying the sample TCL codes are available at the following link: http://www.pollere.net/CoDel.html

This patch is a slight modification of the original patch and is designed for ns-2.31, mainly to be used along with TCP Evaluation Suite, which is available for ns-2.31 only. However, you can also use it without the TCP Evaluation Suite. 

TCP Evaluation Suite is a standard tool used for the analysis of newly proposed TCP Variants, especially High-Speed TCP Variants. The simulation code of TCP Evaluation Suite is based on original Linux TCP Code. 

CoDel's ns-2.31 patch is designed mainly to assist the community to analyze the interaction of CoDel with existing TCP Variants while using TCP Evaluation Suite.

Following are the steps to be followed to apply given patch to ns-2.31:

1. Download ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz

2. Download CoDel-ns-2.31.patch

3. Unzip ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz. You will get a folder named ns-allinone-2.31

4. Paste the downloaded patch in this folder.

5. Give the following command:

    patch -p1 > CoDel-ns-2.31.patch

6. Then give ./install

If you already have an installed copy of ns-allinone-2.31, then follow the steps given below to apply the CoDel patch:

1. Paste the downloaded patch in ns-allinone-2.31 folder.

2. Give the following command:

    patch -p1 > CoDel-ns-2.31.patch

    make install

You are done with it!

To verify the working of this patch, an example TCL Script named "codel.tcl" will now be available in ns-allione-2.31/ns-2.31 directory.

Go in ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31 directory and run the file by giving: ns codel.tcl

Hi Mohit

It's nice to see your blog.

hello sir,
i am simerpreet working on ns-2.35. first of all thanks for very useful postings. i want to know that how can i check the input information in tcl file. I have defined the drop tail que type but i wish to know that what is actual information we are giving as input in the total scenario . please help me out.

@Apte - Thanks for your feedback! I will look into and let you know my views. Thanks once again.

@Simerpreet - Packets in ns-2 do not carry any information except the header information. They are dummy packets.

Hope it helps.

help me out..srinvas

Hi Sir,
In which directory i need to give this command
patch -p1 > CoDel-ns-2.31.patch

@Srinivas - You need to give that command in "ns-allinone-2.xx" directory.

Regarding the error that you are getting while giving "make install" step - you need to give that command in the root mode.

Hope it helps.

Hello sir, can you send cross layer design code in ns2 for this mail..
manju.ewit2011@gmail.com

@Manjunath - There is no such code! You can make two classes "friend" of each other so that you can access required parameters from one class to another.

Hope it helps.
