CONTROLLED DELAY ACTIVE QUEUE MANAGEMENT IN NS2

 Hi Guys,

 Controlled Queue Delay is a modern AQM mechanism for solving buffer bloat[Persistently Full Buffer Problem]. The solution for persistently full buffers, AQM (active queue management), has been known for two decades but has not been widely deployed because of implementation difficulties and general misunderstanding about Internet packet loss and queue dynamics. Unmanaged buffers are more critical today since buffer sizes are larger, delay-sensitive applications are more prevalent, and large (streaming) downloads common. The continued existence of extreme delays at the Internet’s edge can impact its usefulness and hamper the growth of new applications.

This article aims to provide part of the bufferbloat solution, proposing an innovative approach to AQM suitable for today’s Internet called CoDel (for Controlled Delay, pronounced like “coddle”). This is a “no-knobs” AQM that adapts to changing link rates and is suitable for deployment and experimentation in Linux-based routers (as well as silicon).

In this post, we providing patch codes for CoDel along with ns2 versions.

To download patch, Click here
To download ns2, Click here

>> First untar ns2 and change directory to ns-allinone-2.35
>> Copy patch file into the folder and type following command in terminal
patch -pl < CoDel-ns-2.31.patch 
>> Then, Configure, Make & Install

How to turn off package notifications on Alexa

Echo smart speakers and smart displays have a handy feature that can show and tell you when there’s a package sitting on your doorstep and even what’s in it. While this can be helpful most of the time, around the holidays it could seriously ruin some surprises. Avoid making any Grinch-like moves this holiday and manage your Amazon shopping notifications in the Alexa app to help keep the magic alive. Alongside options for tailoring package announcements, the notifications section of the app also has a number of settings you can toggle on or off to help make the voice assistant a little more helpful when it comes to purchases you make on Amazon. Below are a few of the most useful that you might want to tweak this holiday season. Open the Alexa app. Tap on More in the bottom right hand corner. Select Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping . Under “Say or Show Item Titles” toggle off “including items in your shopping cart marked as gifts, or those that might be gifts during major...

Link State Routing Protocol

Link state routing is a method in which each router shares its neighborhood’s knowledge with every other router on the internetwork. In this algorithm, each router in the network understands the network topology and then makes a routing table depending on this topology. Each router will share data about its connection to its neighbor, who will, consecutively, reproduce the data to its neighbors, etc. This appears just before all routers have constructed a topology of the network. In LSP, each node transmits its IP address and the MAC to its neighbor with its signature. Neighbors determine the signature and maintain a record of the combining IP address and the MAC. The Neighbor Lookup Protocol (NLP) of LSP derives and maintains the MAC and IP address of every network frame accepted by a node. The extracted data can support the mapping of MACs and IP addresses. The link-state flooding algorithm prevents the general issues of broadcast in the existence of loops by having every node mainta...

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK SIMULATOR 2

  INTRODUCTION  Network Simulator Version 2, widely known as NS2, is an event driven simulation tool that is useful in studying the dynamic nature of communication networks. Simulation of wired as well as wireless network functions and protocols (e.g., routing algorithms, TCP, UDP) can be done using NS2. In general, NS2 provides users with a way of specifying such network protocols and simulating their corresponding behaviors. Due to its flexibility and modular nature, NS2 has gained constant popularity in the networking research community since its birth in 1989. Ever since, several revolutions and revisions have marked the growing maturity of the tool, thanks to substantial contributions from the players in the field. Among these are the University of California and Cornell University who developed the REAL network simulator,1 the foundation which NS is based on. Since 1995 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) supported development of NS through the Virtual ...
