* '''Project Name:''' ''Ping and Ping6 Enhancements in ns-3''
* '''Student:''' [mailto:chandrakant.barcelona@gmail.com Chandrakant Jena]
* '''Mentors:''' Tommaso Pecorella, Tom Henderson
* '''Project Goals:''' Create a new Ping application for ns-3, to replace the existing v4Ping and Ping6.
** The two applications "V4Ping" and "Ping6" do their respective jobs, but they have some main issues:
*** They have different parameters
*** There is a lot of code duplication
*** They have an output that is not consistent with the one you get in Linux
* '''Repository:''' https://gitlab.com/tommypec/ns-3-dev-new-ping (branch 'nsoc-22')
* '''About Me:''' I am currently a BCA Student (Bachelor's of Computer Application) at Utkal University, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, India. I am interested in Computer Networking and Problem-solving. I have a huge interest in Opensource software development, I was excited to open source in my 6th Grade when I first used the vlc media player. I started open source by participating in GCI, I contributed to CCEXTRACTOR but due to some academic commitments I was not able to complete it. I have developed several projects during my academics [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chandrakant-jena-5aab131a7/ (Linked In)] and Finally got a chance to develop some projects of my interest i.e '''Computer Networking'''. I Joined '''Ns-3''' in September 2021 because I developed some interest in computer Networking and always wanted to get some practical experience, Thanks to '''Ns-3'''. Apart from this, I am a sports lover, I used to play cricket and football which later refreshes my mind and help me to concentrate on my work.

Chandrakant: /* ns-3 Summer of Code 2022 */

{{TOC}}

The project coordinates a few summer coding programs in which student developers are paired with mentors to produce code over the summer.

= Google Summer of Code 2022 =

The organizational admins are Tommaso Pecorella, Mohit Tahiliani, and Tom Henderson.

Three contributors are participating with ns-3 in the 2022 Google Summer of Code.

* '''Akash Mondal''', [[GSOC2022TCPMaximumSegmentSize | TCP maximum segment size (MSS) improvements]], mentored by Mohit Tahiliani, Bhaskar Kataria, and Vivek Jain
* '''Matteo Pagin''', [[GSOC2022Channel | A simplified channel and beamforming model for ns-3]], mentored by Sandra Lagen and Biljana Bojovic
* '''Zhiheng Dong''', [[GSOC2022PerfectArp | Perfect ARP and NDP]], mentored by Tommaso Pecorella, Ameya Deshpande,and Manoj Kumar Rana

We received seven proposals, which were evaluated by a committee that includes most of the mentors listed on the Project Ideas page. For future reference, below is our ideas page and contributor's guide.

= ns-3 Summer of Code 2022 =

ns-3 Summer of Code (NSoC) is a program that runs in parallel to Google Summer of Code. Unlike GSoC, it is not funded, but we aim to operate it similarly to GSoC.

* '''Chandrakant Jena,''' ''Ping and Ping6 Enhancements for ns-3:'' '''''[[NSOC2022Ping | project wiki page ]]''''' mentored by Tommaso Pecorella and Tom Henderson

= Google Summer of Code 2021 =

Three students successfully completed projects in [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/4672908493848576/ Google Summer of Code 2021].

* '''Parth Pratim Chatterjee,''' ''Direct Code Execution Modernization:'' '''''[[GSOC2021DCE | project wiki page]]''''' '''--''' '''''[https://ns-3-dce-linux-upgrade.github.io/ Final report]'''''

= ns-3 Summer of Code 2021 =

ns-3 Summer of Code (NSoC) is a program that runs in parallel to Google Summer of Code. Unlike GSoC, it is not funded, but we aim to operate it similarly to GSoC. The commitments are similar; students and mentors are expected to define and work towards a mergeable project goal by the end of the summer. The program is offered to 'honorable mention' GSoC proposals (i.e., proposals that we would have selected had we received more student slots from Google) and for other reasons such as a contributor's ineligibility for GSoC.
