Description Adarsh Patel 2016-09-18 21:17:51 EDT

I am receiving data through callback functions for example "wave-simple-device.cc" given in WAVE module and other examples too on NS-3.23, but unable to trace packets on Visualizer, Animator, as well as on Flow Monitor too.

But If I choose Wifi80211pHelper instead of waveHelper it is working.

Please test the patches 1& 2, which I think can fix the reported bug.

I updated the patches to ns-3-dev, since they did not apply cleanly.  I just compiled but did not further test them.  

The netanim patch should be looked at further because in the revised patch, it is patching a method that has been refactored to what is called AnimationInterface::GenericWirelessTxTrace (), but the changes being introduced in the patch are no longer generic but are instead specialized to Wifi and Wave device types.
