The development environment of ns2.35

This work is for the development environment of ns-2.35 on the Mac OS. It also contains some basic works for the malicious study in Ad hoc network simulation. (eg. blackhole-aodv, grayhole-aodv, watchdog(aodv), and Bayesian-watchdog(aodv))

Base environment

• Host OS: macOS High Sierra version 10.13.4 (may have issue in other OS)
• Docker base image is ubuntu:14:04
• Docker files are based on docker-ns2
• Docker develop environment ns2.35-with-docker can be found in docker hub
• Miniconda3 ( python3.6 and pip3.6 ) is installed along with jupyter notebook.

Composition

This project includes:

• How to simulation and project description in Readthedocs
• Already being installed source code of ns2.35
• New protocols including mflood, blackhole-aodv, grayhole-aodv, watchdog(aodv), and Bayesian-watchdog(aodv)
• Simulation analyze tools: NSG2.1, APP-tool, py-parser, jupyter notebook

Tools

• tcl generation tool

NSG2.1 is developed in Java to make the generation of tcl files easy with GUI

• trace file parser

APP Tool (Automated Post Processing tool) is a ns2 tracefile analyser with GUI

• nam: network animator

Nam is a Tcl/TK-based animation tool for viewing network simulation traces and real-world packet traces.

• jupyter lab

Access to http://localhost:8888 with login password: "jupyter" (or set the password by yourself)

• python tools

ns2 tools for simulation preparation and results parser

Virtualization

To display the GUI (nam / NSG / APP Tool) from docker to macOS you should:

1. Confirm X11 is already installed
2. Run xhost + 127.0.0.1 in the host Mac OS in advance.
