About craigdo

craigdo (sometimes known as Craig Dowell) is an ns-3 developer based out of The University of Washington Department of Electrical Engineering in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Responsibilities

I am the maintainer-of-record for the following pieces of ns-3:

• src/node
• src/devices/csma
• src/devices/point-to-point
• src/helper
• src/routing/global-routing
• src/doc/tutorial
• regression tests

This means that bugs assigned to these modules are (at least initially) assigned to me and I am responsible for evaluating patches and conributions for as they might affect these modules. This is an ongoing maintenance effort that is always part of my work. In addition to my maintainer hat, I also contribute to other parts of ns-3.

Maintenance Queue

There are a number of bugs assigned in my areas of responsibility ...

1. Statically linked simple-p2p and simple-p2p.exe assert
2. flag needed in an internet node to distinguish routers from hosts
3. whether routing API needs to be split from Ipv4 API
4. improve granularity of GlobalRouteManager::PopulateRoutes
5. Redundant routing table lookup for setting src addr of outoging IP packets
6. NetDevice::m_ifIndex not the same as Ipv4's ifIndex
7. Not possible to free nodes before the end of a simulation
8. global routing doesn't handle multi-hop layer-2 subnets
9. global routing does not handle ip aliasing
10. Node names patch
11. Ipv4Interface is a poor API
12. InternetStackHelper::Install does not mention the fact that it aggregates PacketSocketFactory
13. star topologies are painful to create
14. Ipv4Header does not print the protocol number
15. trace helpers too inclusive
16. Helper.Install (node) does not work
17. MobilityHelper.SetPositionAllocator (type, args) does not seem to work
18. what is NetDevice::GetMulticast used for ?
19. Regression tests refuse to run under MinGW
20. Avoid using the external 'diff' command for regression testing

Contribution Queue

I am also working on a contribution that will allow ns-3 simulations to talk to the outside world in real time.
