new feature reviews

Completed for ns-3.14

• RED queues, mailing list post -> merged to ns-3-dev and is being kept there for now so as to not disturb the repository, but requires some relicensing of original BSD-licensed source before we should release it. This is expected to be done by 13 April.
• LTE, buildings, and antenna models: several review requests are here
  • Antenna patch requires resolution of comments in the Rietveld issue tracker
  • LTE merge is blocked by resolution of this issue
  • Buildings merge is being refactored for 1) the separation of pathloss models, and 2) the re-use of position allocators for the buildings allocator
• Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) -> author is responding to some final comments
• netanim (added to download.py). Proposed patch here

Bugs being worked

• LTE tests on OS X: https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1435
• TCP issues: 1399, 1405, 1340-42, 1359
