hello

i am simulating mesh networks 802.11s in ns-3 .i wanted to run simulation using over 1000 nodes but this is not possible since it shows me address overflow.this is a part of my code

Ipv4AddressHelper address;
address.SetBase ("10.1.1.0", "255.255.255.0");

and i get the error

assert failed. cond="m_address <= m_max", msg="Ipv4AddressHelper::NewAddress(): Address overflow", file=../src/
internet/helper/ipv4-address-helper.cc, line=108

i then made the following change
address.SetBase ("10.1.1.0", "255.255.255.0");
into this
address.SetBase ("10.1.1.0", "255.255.252.0");

thinking this would give enable me to use more nodes but again i am shown an error

"assert failed. cond="(m_network & ~m_mask) == 0",
msg="Ipv4AddressHelper::SetBase(): Inconsistent network and mask",
file=../src/internet/helper/ipv4-address-helper.cc, line=75 "

please help me out.i do not have much knowledge of ip networking and subnet masking.would be of great help if you can guide me.

thanks a lot!!

i think i solved it
i changed it to address.SetBase ("10.0.0.0", "255.255.252.0");

works for 30x30 grid..but doesnt work out for 50x50 ..any suggestions for to get it working for even larger number of nodes??
