Sam’s Network Simulation Cradle Blog

Released NSC 0.2.3 today. It’s in the usual place. This adds support for ns 2.30 and a couple of bugfixes. Just a minor maintenance release really.

Looked in to ns-3 to see if it is ready to incorporate NSC. NSC doesn’t actually require all that much from a simulator to get up and running I think. However, ns-3 is still in a very very early stage. It is not yet ready to even have a very basic integration of NSC performed. On the plus side, it looks like they are making good progress with the project and it is moving ahead at a decent pace. It is just there is quite a lot of work for them to do to make it into a usable network simulator yet. I imagine having NSC working with it at an early stage would be a boon though!

I know that NSC in it’s current form (0.2.2 or whatever) doesn’t work with ns 2.30.

I’ve made some fixes locally but haven’t yet had time to test them. Hopefully I’ll find some time to do this… One day. Right now I’m busy getting thesis stuff ready.
