Project overview
- Project name: Direct Code Execution upgrade
- Student: Sourabh Jain
- Mentors: Matthieu Coudron, Natale Patriciello
- Abstract: Direct Code Execution is a framework for ns-3. It facilitates to execute Linux kernel and Linux userspace networking applications inside ns-3 without changing their code. In order to provide such functionality, DCE integrates network simulator with custom Linux kernels like net-next-sim or net-next-nuse (LibOs). But net-next-nuse has not kept pace with new versions of Linux kernel. This has been the major hindrance for DCE to use latest Linux kernel. An active alternate to LibOs is Linux Kernel Library (LKL) which provides similar features of LibOs and supports latest Linux kernel versions. In this project, DCE will extend to support the networking stack of LKL and embed real libc in LKL.
- About me: I am a master student at National Institute of Technology, Karnataka India. Currently, I am building a framework over ns-3-dce that automates the testing of TCP and AQM by using standard tools like netperf and iperf.
