A project to extend NS3 functionality on Windows operating-systems
If you want to try the pilot implementation , go to #Software download
Project Goals
- To reduce or eliminate the need for CygWin to run NS3 on Windows operating-systems
- To expose native Windows API to NS3 developers
- To integrate NS3 into IDE's such as Visual Studio 2010
- To integrate NS3 into IDE's such as Visual Studio 2008 (Stretch Goal)
It is envisioned to develop an application which can open a Windows Console or a Windows GUI based on user selection via the command-line. At least one sample Windows GUI will be provided. Here is an example GUI
Development Plan
- Feasibility study and pilot implementation
- After the final commit from the NS3 Modularization project finalize folder structure and module list
- Review and commit changes for Windows onto ns-3.11
- Review copyrights,coding-style and documentation
- Build automated build framework
Current status
- The feasibility study is underway and a pilot (unstable) implementation is available at #Software download
Software download
- Version (ns-3.10-Win-1.0) Pilot Implementation
