Location aided routing procol simulation in ns2, error in box.tcl file


I want to simulate location aided routing protocol in ns-2.32 on ubuntu 12.04. I have created a mobility file and tried to run box.tcl file for simulation of location aided routing protocol.
But I am getting the error "Invalid AODV type (26)" when option "set val(rp) AODV " is used and error "segmentation fault" when option "set val(rp) DSR" is used in box.tcl file.
Plz, Help me to solve this error.

Ok! I have solved the problem. I found that I need to add packet headers of TCP, Flags, ARP and AODV by adding lines "add-packet-header TCP,add-packet-header Flags, add-packet-header AODV, add-packet-header ARP " in box.tcl file.
Now,I am able to simulate LAR protocol and box.tcl file runs smoothly.

Patch : toilers-LAR-DREAM-2.32.patch

If you have a new patch with the TCP adds, could please upload
your files to e.g. Google Docs ?

@knudfl,
Yes, I already have the patch for Location Aided Routing (LAR) and Distance Routing Effect Algorithm for Mobility (DREAM) protocol. I have downloaded that patch from http://controls.ae.gatech.edu/claus/ns_lardream.html.


This patch has been developed by Claus Christmann at Georgia Tech. The authors of related paper only want that any published research from using their code include a reference to their IEEE INFOCOM 2002 paper: T. Camp, J. Boleng, B. Williams, L. Wilcox, and W. Navidi, Performance Comparison of Two Location Based Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks, Proceedings of the IEEE INFOCOM, pp. 1678-1687, 2002.


One can request that code from Dr. Tracy Camp via their website http://toilers.mines.edu/Public/Code


I don't have new patch. I just edited the box.tcl file after successfully applying the patch to ns-2.32 so that simulation of LAR protocol is possible. Here is my box.tcl file of LAR protocol:

# 4 .

OK, thank you. So now we have three <box.tcl> files :
"orig-box.tcl", Helen-box.tcl, and your file "ARP_TCP-box.tcl".

How did you generate the file "lar2.mob" ? ?

#5.

After applying the toilers-LAR-DREAM-2.32.patch to ns-2.32, it created two folders lar and dream. In lar folder, original box.tcl file was located. But, lar folder didn't contained the mobility file.

So, I used setdest utility of ns2 available under ~ns/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest directory to generate mobility file. I traversed to that directory via command prompt and run the following command to generate mobility file "lar2.mob".

./setdest -n 50 -p 10.0 -M 10.0 -t 200.0 -x 300.0 -y 600.0 > lar2.mob

OK, my reason for asking is that those setdest generated files
don't seem to work with your box.tcl : $ ns box.tcl
Code:
.
.
INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead
Loading the mobility file...
can't read "god_": no such variable
    while executing
"$god_ set-dist 0 1 2"
    (file "lar2.mob" line 154)
.
.

To solve this problem
you have to add this line before Loading the mobility file
set god_ [God instance]
source $val(sc)

# 10 .

To have a usable nam you must first install a 'nam'.

32bits : nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...=CLPiyxo&hl=en

64bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...CN3jzIcL&hl=en

Unpack the file : $ tar xvf nam*
And : $ cd nam*/
# cp nam /usr/local/bin/

Some files.tcl have like "exec nam out.nam &"
With all the other files.tcl, you will have to do $ nam out.nam
