Ns-2.33 (and nam) on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
NS-2.33 and HWMP rev 183 on Intrepid Ibex 8.10
February 16th, 2009 by Jason Ernst
This post is some quick instructions on how to install ns-2.33 and the hybrid wireless mesh protocol (hwmp) on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. More detail will be added later, just for quick reference right now.
Update Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libxt-devDownload the NS-2.33 and HWMP All-in-One Package here:
wget http://hippo.mipt.ru/hwmp/ns-2.33_hwmp_rev183.tar.bz2Untar the file:
tar xvf ns*.tar.bz2Configure and Install NS2
cd ns
./configure
make
sudo make install
All ready to go. Enjoy.

when run %ns , what is the output?
Is it % or
Usage: host [-v] [-a] [-t querytype] [options] name [server]
Listing: host [-v] [-a] [-t querytype] [options] -l zone [server]

I always get % for the output when no filename or parameters are specified with it

hello,I want simulate HWMP protocol for my paper,and my improved HWMP protocl run in hibrid mode which is :source forward the first data packet on the proactive path toward the Root MP,when destination recieve the dada,then initiate RA-AODV process to create the route to source, not just only proactive mode or reactive mode,so how to do it next?thanks

I’m not sure I understand completely what you are asking. I am fairly new at working with HWMP so I may not be much help to you. You would probably have better luck contacting the people who made the hwmp implementation for ns2. See http://hippo.mipt.ru/hwmp/

Thanke you ,are you familar with opnet11.5 or Qualnet4.5 for HWMP simulation ?

No not yet sorry, I have only really worked with ns2 and some custom c/c++ simulators I have wrote myself for my research. I haven’t really ventured into hwmp much yet.

Hey Jason,
You have been very instrumental to me in fixing ns-2 problems in the past and I hope you can help me out this time too. I am struggling to fix DYMOUM in ns-2.33. Patches are available for previous versions of ns but not ns-2.33. I tried using ns-2.29 patch on ns-2.33 but again there are so many dependencies within and I cannot really figure out what has to be changed. Please suggest how I can fix this. I downloaded this package from ” http://masimum.dif.um.es/?Software:DYMOUM:Installation “.
Thank you,

Hello, can you help me with a new link for HWMP routing protocol extension for ns2. It seems that the russian site is down.
I need it for my thesis.
Thanks!

Hello,
can you put a new link for HWMP. i cant dowload it from this site http://hippo.mipt.ru/hwmp/ns-2.33_hwmp_rev183.tar.bz2, ist mayve down.
thanks

Hello, our group have implemented the whole mesh networking in ns-2.
Maybe who wants can download from our group site: http://wireless.ustc.edu.cn/wngwiki/Resources
It is tested very well in NS2.30, and many tips are included:
1. IEEE802.11s architecture supporting including three types mesh nodes (MAP, MPP, Pure MP)
2. Two layer routing protocol based on IEEE802.11s architcture
* HWMP routing protocol (s-aodv and routing protocol) with mesh portal selection mechanism
* Multi-gateway and multi-path routing protocol
3. Multi-interface and multi-channel supporting including IEEE802.11a/g
4. Handoff in wireless mesh network including inner-Mesh handoff and inter-Mesh handoff
5. Link metric caculating, including etx, ett, air-time, hop.
Besides, the upper HWMP is implemented in the layer-3 just as aodv. However, I think as it is shown in IEEE 802.11s, HWMP is a layer-2 routing.

Hi umang, I’m not actually familiar with that particular patch, your best bet will be to try the ns2 mailing list or website

May I have another link where I can download the HWMP. This link above is not working. If anyone has it please may you upload it on http://www.sendspace.com
Thank you

Hi geajy,
Thank you very much for the link. I want to know with each version of NS
shall iwork? I’m working on Multi channel and multi radio HWMP on 802.11s.
Thanks,

hi
i am doing thesis on multipath routing
i tried ns-2.34/tcl/ex/aomdv.tcl
the following error is coming
num_nodes is set 16
Wrong node routing agent!
can u please tell me how to resolve this problem
