Description Frederic Urbani 2012-06-14 04:47:12 EDT

When DCE use Kernel Network Stack instead of NS-3 Stack, the static routes 
are done by hand !

The improment consists of adding a Helper to do the Job like the NS3 Helper :
Ipv4GlobalRoutingHelper.

I am starting working on.

I just commit changeset: 46380fd02339.

This contains a new helper LinuxStackHelper you should use it one nodes using kernel stack .

Exemple:

For node using NS-3 stack you use : 

InternetStackHelper stack;
stack.Install (nodes);

and for node using kernel you must use this:

dceManager.SetNetworkStack ("ns3::LinuxSocketFdFactory", "Library", StringValue ("libnet-next-2.6.so"));
LinuxStackHelper stack;
stack.Install (nodes);

then you can use the NS3 helpers Ipv4AddressHelper and Ipv4GlobalRoutingHelper::PopulateRoutingTables (); to assign adresses 
and to create the static routes.

WARNING : only tested with IPV4.

LinuxStackHelper needs to call DceManagerHelper::Install () after
Ipv4AddressHelper:: Assign (). It is not compatible to ns-3-dev way (i.e., InternetStackHelper) and not useful.
