DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION RANGE FOR NODES IN ONE SIMULATION

Most of my online friends asked me that "is any way to increase transmission range of nodes in one simulation??".Here, we are showing a simple scenario and test sample script for this.

Scenario:
Two wireless nodes n0 and n1 are placed into a flat area and have distance of 200m. Both nodes send packets with the same transmission power, but have different receiving range. I set n0's receiving range to 250m, and its carrier sensing range to 550m. n1's receiving range is 160m, and its carrier sensing range is 400m.

EXPLANATION OF RESULT:

Both nodes try to send exactly one packet to the other using DSR. Because there is no bi-directional connection exist, the actual data connection could not be be established (DSR needs a bi-directional connection for route discovery). However, we can verify the difference of two transmission ranges by observing the reachability of DSR RREQ packets broadcast by each node.

The first connection starts at the 1st second, from n0 to n1. The second connection starts at the 5th second, from n1 to n0. By analyzing the trace file, I found that the all RREQ packets from n0 were not heard by n1. But all RREQ packets sent by n1 were successfully received by n0. This makes sense because n1's receiving ranges (160m) is samller than its distance to n0 (200m), thus it cannot heard any packet from n0. However, because n0's receiving range (250m) is bigger than the distance, it can hear RREQ from n1. n0 also sent out replies to n1, but n1 could not heard it.

NS2 INSTALLATION IN UBUNTU 21.04

Hello, this post explains how to install ns2 in Ubuntu 21.04. 1) First you have to download ns2 all-in-one package from following link; http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz/download 2) Extract the downloaded zip file 'ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz file' to home folder. 3) Now you need to download some essential packages for ns2,these packages can be downloaded by using the following commands : applications>accessories>terminal or dashhome>terminal and then type the below lines one by one on the terminal window sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get update 4) Install the basic libraries; sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev 5) Install gcc and g++ and for that please do following; open the file using sudo mode sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Include the following line in list; deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe then open terminal and exec

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

HP NETWORK SIMULATOR: A COMWARE OS LEARNING TOOL

Comware v7 is a network operating system that runs on HP high-end network devices. The HP Network Simulator is an ideal Comware v7 learning tool, which allows users to create, configure, and connect simulated networks. Benefits Beginners – The HP Network Simulator tool is helpful for users who are new to networking and want to learn how to configure network devices (switches, routers), various topologies, or different routing and switching protocols and features. Experienced users – The HP Network Simulator learning tool is helpful for users who have experience with non-HP networking devices and want to learn the Comware CLI and features. Extra devices – Users can create devices using the HP Network Simulator and use them with their physical devices to configure and test topologies that aren’t configurable with just the physical devices they have. For example – A user wants to configure OSPF using 3 or more devices but has only 1 physical router. User can create 2 or more routers
