I want to use token bucket algorithm in the NS2, by searching on google I found the NS2 code for token bucket algorithm..It consist of the file such as

dsshaper.h
dsshaper.cc
dsshaper.tcl

Now I want to use them in NS2, they are provided the steps to add them to some folder in NS2 and to use MAKE command..but its not clear..do you know any references where the steps to adding new algorithm is available or the actual steps??


Thank you in advance

Well, you say that you already have the instructions that came with the patch...if you don't understand them, there's not much we can tell you. Post a SPECIFIC thing you don't understand, and we can try to explain it, but just saying "its not clear", tells us nothing.

okay the document says that dsshaper.cc and dsshaper.h should be placed in ns folder...am running ns 2.35, so I think I should paste them into /home/username/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35...I don't know its correct or not...because there are bunch of folders in ns-2.35..

so my question is, do I need to paste them open in ns-2.35 folder or prep any separate folder for this one??

after that, document says add the dsshaper.o into makefile,then execute configure and make...

am not understanding, dsshaper.o into makefile part of this statement..

The documentation tells you to place it in the NS folder...and you just said that you have NS in /home/username/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35. Doesn't that question answer itself??
You open the file named "makefile", and insert the dsshaper.o file with the other .o files in there. This is in the instructions. Then you run "configure" then "make".

thank you sir, I got the result...

I have one more doubt, is it possible to change the link or node parameter once the simulation is performed. My work is to use token bucket algorithm to shape the traffic, is there is more packet loss then source throughput has to be reduced

In all the ns2 example I have traced, they first set all the network parameters, once everything is defined they will go for the simulation. My question is, is it possible to alter those network paramaters once the simulation is done, like a feedback to source??

Thank you again
