Hi,

I want to implement SPIN protocol and after some digging i have come to the conclusion (please let me know if i am wrong) that with the SPIN extension i have it can only be implemented on ns-2.1b5.
Would it work on ubuntu?? i already have ubuntu 10.10 in my system with ns-2.34 installed in it.
Can i get ns2.1b5 installed in it and work on SPIN ??

Thanks

The oldest version that works with a Linux OS from this century,
is ns-2.1b8. Same structure as ns2.1b5 .
Versions later than ns-2.1b8 have a very different directory tree.

CentOS 3 (obsolete) can be used for ns-2.1b8. If I remember right.
Ubuntu : No chance.
(The oldest Ubuntu versions may compile the most of ns-allinone-2.1b8.)

The most convenient solution : Rewrite the code for a later ns2.

Are there any other simulators which implement SPIN ??
I have been going through a lot of posts and in this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...379/page5.html

Following the SPIN installation steps.

What are the steps that he is referring to?? and is he using ns2.27? Or was it just a typo there ,should have been LEACH instead of SPIN??

Thank you for your reply
