This page summarizes the ongoing release planning for ns-3.13. Tom Henderson is the release manager. The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.
Proposed release schedule
- Wed Dec 7 -- new feature freeze, enter bug fixing stage
- Wed Dec 14 -- code freeze on ns-3-dev
- Fri Dec 23 -- ns-3.13 released
Proposed supported platforms
- Ubuntu 11.10 (32/64 bit)
- Ubuntu 11.04 (32/64 bit)
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64 bit)
- Fedora Core 16 (32/64 bit)
- Fedora Core 15 (32/64 bit)
- CentOS 6.0 (32/64 bit)
- Mac OS X Lion and Snow Leopard (64 bit)
- FreeBSD 8.2 (32/64 bit)
Packaging
We will use ns-allinone-3.13.tar.bz2 packaging as before.
new feature reviews
NSOC code merges:
- Monitor mode support -> sliding to ns-3.14
- LTE RRC extension -> sliding to ns-3.14
- IPv6 address generator -> merged
Other requests for merge or review:
- UAN Mobility Model merge (from previous GSOC) -> sliding to ns-3.14
- blocked on resolving changes to WaypointMobilityModel API
- DelayBox -> sliding to ns-3.14
- RED queues, mailing list post -> merged
- Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) -> may still be merged
- TDMA model -> sliding to ns-3.14
- BRITE Integration -> sliding to ns-3.14
- NetDevice queue feedback -> sliding to ns-3.14
- Poisson Pareto Burst Process -> sliding to ns-3.14
- supporting ns-3 transport protocols over IPv6 -> sliding to ns-3.14
- LTE LENA code -> sliding to ns-3.14
- Original post: http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/2011-June/009121.html
- current action plan: http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/2011-October/009494.html
- API change for Spectrum Framework -> merged
- CLWPR (Cross Layer, Weighted, Position-based, Routing) -> sliding to future
- CSMA module improvements -> sliding to future
Older requests (may need updating):
- Virtual Access Point (VAP) for WiFi
- needs updated to ns-3.11 code; needs review
- GetRelativeVelocity() for MobilityModel -> merged with little changes to API name.
- PhySimWifi
- needs review
- thread-safe implementation of ScheduleWithContext
- simple wireless models
- Jamming model
- MPLS
- TCP Vegas (blocked by lack of progress on TCP congestion control architecture)
Bugs being worked
Some priorities:
- 101 RandomVariable enhancements -> sliding to ns-3.14
- 938 Doxygen cleanup -> errors have been fixed;
- 962 path to attributes has bogus entries -> mostly fixed; can work around this to some degree
- 1170 best practices for unused variables -> unresolved for ns-3.14
- 1183 waf gcov/lcov broken -> fixed
- 1192 Some test cases fail to clean up properly (missing DoTeardown) -> Mathieu fixed some of this; teardown refactoring remains
Others carried over from ns-3.12:
- 756 Graceful build failure when libraries broken
- 1039 TCP Nagle and RTO (Adrian) (also bug 1227 is a duplicate)
- 1055 possible UAN bug (Andrea)
- 1112 TCP deadlock (Adrian)
- 1127 Netanim compatibility for xcode 4 and wiki updates
- 1166 ns-3 TCP DCE problems with RST (Adrian)

- 1217 simple-odfm-wimax-phy creates UniformVariable in a critical path (Flavio)
- 1218 Supply a mechanism to build python binding for multi-version of python
- 1227 TCP minRTO too low (Adrian)
- 1229 Multiplication overflow in WaypointMobilityModel::EndMobility method
- 1238 documentation
- 1241 documentation

- 1247 waf --enable-shared-and-static
Also, the collection of RealtimeSimulatorImpl and TapBridge patches (Tom Goff is looking at):
- Simulator::Next useless depends on 631
- RealtimeSimulator and Ctrl-C
- Tap Bridge and Emu Net Devices Do Not Shut Down Properly
- Make realtime simulator last until stop
Feature requests
This lists some features that have been requested but for which a patch is needed.
- make spectrum model compatible with ns-3 WiFi
- ns-2 packet UID feature
- API for TOS bytes (issue 897) may wait for netfilter support
- Chord/DHT (authors are planning to revise code based on comments)
- app store and build system refactoring
