Project Overview

Project Name: Ping and Ping6 Enhancements in ns-3
Student: 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

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 (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.
