LinuxQuestions.org - MIPv6 on NS2.35

- - MIPv6 on NS2.35 (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/mipv6-on-ns2-35-a-4175623570/)

Hi.
I have NS2.35 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I followed below steps for run MIPv6 on it.

Code:

tar xvf ns-allinone-2.35_gcc5.tar.gz 

cd ns-allinone-2.35/

patch -p0 < mobiwan-1_ns235.patch

./install

cd ns-2.35/

cp ns ns235-mobiwan1

sudo cp ns235-mobiwan1  /usr/local/bin/

All steps do without error but when I run files of MIPv6, I see error. for example:

Code:

$ns 2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl

error is:

Code:

couldn't read file "../../tcl/lib/proc-mipv6-config.tcl": no such file or directory

    while executing

"source.orig ../../tcl/lib/proc-mipv6-config.tcl"

    ("uplevel" body line 1)

    invoked from within

"uplevel source.orig[list $fileName]"

    invoked from within

"if [$instance_ is_http_url $fileName] {

set buffer [$instance_ read_url $fileName]

uplevel eval $buffer

} else {

uplevel source.orig[list $fileName]

..."

    (procedure "source" line 8)

    invoked from within

"source ../../tcl/lib/proc-mipv6-config.tcl"

    (procedure "main" line 6)

    invoked from within

"main"

    (file "2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl" line 190)

another:

Code:

$ ns mobiwan_test_faster.tcl

error is:

Code:

couldn't read file "../../tcl/lib/proc-mipv6-config.tcl": no such file or directory

    while executing

    invoked from within

    (procedure "main" line 7)

    invoked from within

"main"

    (file "mobiwan_test_faster.tcl" line 162)

one else:

Code:

$ ns simple-mipv6.tcl

error is:

Code:

couldn't read file "../../tcl/mobility/timer.tcl": no such file or directory

    while executing

"source.orig ../../tcl/mobility/timer.tcl"

    ("uplevel" body line 1)

    invoked from within

"uplevel source.orig[list $fileName]"

    invoked from within

"if [$instance_ is_http_url $fileName] {

} else {

    (procedure "source" line 8)

    invoked from within

"source ../../tcl/mobility/timer.tcl"

    (procedure "main" line 3)

    invoked from within

"main"

    (file "simple-mipv6.tcl" line 152)

Could you please tell me what am i doing wrong? And why do they have error?
Thank you so much in advance for your attention.

The examples, 2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl etc.:

Please use the new "mobiwan-examples-1.tar.gz"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Z7...ew?usp=sharing

Code:

$ tar xvf mobiwan-examples-1.tar.gz

$ cd mobiwan-ex-1/mobiwan/ex/

$ ns235-mobiwan1 2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl

The required configuration files are in mobiwan-ex-1/tcl/{lib/, mobility/, mobiwan/}.
( And mobiwan-ex-1/mobiwan/ex/tcl/{lib/ mobility/ mobiwan/} ).

Thanks alot knudfl.
I will do your Instructions and come back as soon as possible.

Yes, I did your instructions step by step and finally i have below files:

But when i run each files , i faced to these errors:

Code:

$ns235-mobiwan1 2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl

error is:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And my files "nam and tr" are empty.

Ofcourse , I saw answer of you that you told to the same question in another post:

Quote:

Re #6, @mjahidi.
If the trace files are created in reasonable sizes, the 'Segmentation fault' can be ignored.
I get no 'Segmentation fault' with $ ns235-mobiwan simple-mipv6.tcl
... and the created files are : out.nam 260kB, out.tr 156kB.
To avoid 'Segmentation fault', please use another OS, i386/i686, e.g. the 32bits CentOS 6.7

Would you please tell me why i have this error and how i can improve it without CentOS?
Thank you so much in advance for your attention.

Generally Ubuntu is the least ns2 friendly OS you can find.
CentOS and other rpm based OS are using a glibc with an ns2 friendly patching.

The files mip2.nam 108.0kB, mip2.tr 60.0kB are created. (Both OS, same file sizes.)

SORTING LISTS ...DONE!

channel.cc:sendUp - Calc highestAntennaZ_ and distCST_

highestAntennaZ_ = 1.5,  distCST_ = 550.0

... The solution is to use "an ns2 OS". Or just use the examples that work.

Thank you very much Sir for your attention.

My OS is Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

Unfortunately, I am beginner in Linux. Before i wanted run PMIPv6 on CentOS with NS2.29 and I tried to install CentOS and NS2.29 on it but i did not know,how i can do that!! :( and SO i be unsuccessful on it.Now, I am afraid that i can not do again.

Well , If you say CentOS is good for run NS files,SO I try again. I HOPE that this time i can be successful. :)

Please tell me which CentOS must i install? and which NS2?
Thank you so much in advance for your attention.

Re #6.

CentOS 7 is OK for mobiwan. See post #5
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/cent...stall-1708.iso
→ CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1708.iso
With the "NetInstall" ISO (422MB) you can choose Desktop Environment. Suggest MATE.

Ns2 requirements

Code:

$ su [enter root password]

# yum install gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool libXmu-devel

Building ns-allinone-2.35 is like post #1.
Install nam

Code:

$ cd nam-1.15/

$ su [enter root password]

# make install

PMIPv6 : CentOS 6.9 - i386 must be used for NIST + PMIPv6
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/cent...86-LiveDVD.iso

The latest build example is here ( 6lowpan is included )

Thank you so much sir knudfl.

Could you please tell me What you mean? Do you mean that i can not install "NetInstall" on VMware Workstation?

Thank you so much in advance for your attention.

Post #7 is only about "what you can". The word "not" isn't mentioned.

Besides that :
'Virtual Machines' tend to make ns2 results worse than a hard disk OS install.
.... May be that's the reason for your error ?

Not a thing that I ever test. I have all the ~60 OS´s for ns2 test installed to HD:
Four computers, 10 hard disks, ~72 partitions.

Yes, sorry.

I have one computer with afew equipment. :( I force to use 'Virtual Machines'.

I have class till saturday and I am busy but I want to do your instructions and come back as soon as possible. :)

MIPv6. Other option : Install mobiwan as an application.
1) for Ubuntu 14 .. 16 - 64bits : mobiwan1-ns_2.33-ubuntu14_amd64.deb (2.0MB)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ncS...ew?usp=sharing
... provides /usr/local/bin/ns233-mobiwan-el6

Ubuntu 14.04: The simulation text from 2-Basic-Mobile-IPv6-example.tcl is attached.

2) for CentOS 6 and 7 , 64bits : mobiwan1-ns-2.33-1.el6.x86_64.rpm (2.8MB)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xc1...ew?usp=sharing
... provides /usr/local/bin/ns233-mobiwan-el6

PMIPv6. Applications.

1) Ubuntu, 32bits : nist-pmip6-ns_229-ubuntu12_i386.deb (4.3MB)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing

2) CentOS 6 and 7 : 32 and 64bit : nist-pmip6_ns229-2-1.i386.rpm (3.6MB)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
... i.e. # yum install ./nist-pmip6_ns229-2-1.i386.rpm
... will also install any missing dependencies.

$ ns229-nist-pmip6-el6 : OK with the simulations → CentOS 7 (64bit).

Heretofore, I did not work with application and I have several questions about it. I’d like to apologize for my below questions.
Could you please tell me :
1- Is the file.deb the same as file.patch?
2- Is the results of file.deb the same as the file.patch?
3- Can i install NS 2.33 on Ubuntu 14.04? Where can i find NS 2.33?
4- How can i install mobiwan1-ns_2.33-ubuntu14_amd64.deb on NS 2.33? What is its instruction?
5- After mobiwan1-ns_2.33-ubuntu14_amd64.deb install, does file.tcl have? and is it run in terminal exactly the same as file.tcl that install by file.patch?

Thank you so much in advance for your attention.
