NS2 INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS

The easiest way to install NS 2 on Windows OS is by using a virtual machine. You can use VMWare Workstation or Oracle VM virtual box for this.

The steps to install NS2 on windows by using Oracle VM virtual box is given below.

Step 1: Download and install 'Oracle VM virtual box' from the following link.
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Step 2: Now download ubuntu from the following link
www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Step 3: Open oracle VM VIrtual box

Step 4: Click on the 'new' button on the top left corner of the VM Virtual Box window

now name the operating system and select the linux operating system and ubuntu as os version

Step 5: Now select the Memory Size

Step 6: Now create a Virtual Hard Drive

Step 7: Select Hardware File Type

you are supposed to use the default option shown in the dialog box

Step 8: Create Virtual Hard Drive

Step 9: Choose the File Location and Size

Step 10: Now Create your virtual machine by clicking on the create button

Step 11: Now Install Ubuntu to the virtual machine by loading the 'ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop.amd64.iso' file to the virtual machine(which you have downloaded earlier or you can download it from the link given below www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop )

Step 12: Now click on the start button

Your Linux installation is finished now

Now you can install NS 2 to your linux virtual machine by following the instructions given in the following link

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
