- TCP Hybla and HighSpeed paper presentation
In progress
Please visit Ns-3.25#Feature_and_patch_review_status the section below on items that are presently in work.
In addition, the following developers have announced intentions to work on these topics for ns-3.25:
- Tom Henderson is working on a Spectrum implementation of the ns-3 Wifi physical layer
- Chip Webb is working on improving support for Ethernet (full duplex links, switches and mixed L2/L3 networks) and on adding support for generating pcap trace files with nanosecond resolution timestamps
- Natale Patriciello and Stefano Avallone are working on a priority queueing layer and flow control in the IP stack
- Natale Patriciello would like to merge TCP BIC and CUBIC implementations
- Sebastien Deronne and other Wi-Fi developers are working on:
- 802.11b short PLCP support
- HT/VHT Minstrel
- HT/VHT Ideal RAA
- 802.11 PCF
- 802.11n/ac PHY layer improvement + initial MIMO support
- 802.11 frame sync (PLCP signal detection) model
- GSOC maintainers would like to merge the code developed on the following three projects:
- LTE carrier aggregation
- MPTCP
- 802.15.4 Phy and MAC protocols
Release and development schedule
The release is planned for late January with a code freeze in mid January. More specific dates to be provided later.
Feature and patch review status
A current proposal discussed on ns-developers list is to use the bug tracker to identify and status items being actively worked. We'll post a URL here at a future date once that proposal has been settled.
Presently, one new feature is in 'last call' state, regarding TCP refactoring:
