new feature reviews
Still aiming 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
- TCP Echo Code review here
- netanim (added to download.py). Proposed patch here
Slipping past ns-3.14
- TCP Options (just the encoding of the options in the header)
- HTTP traffic generator -> reviewed, needs revisions
- DelayBox -> author responding to comments
- TDMA model -> sliding to ns-3.15?
- BRITE Integration -> sliding to ns-3.15?
- Poisson Pareto Burst Process -> sliding to ns-3.15?, author responding to comments
- CLWPR (Cross Layer, Weighted, Position-based, Routing) -> sliding to future
- CSMA module improvements -> sliding to future
- GPSR (Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing) -> Posted for pre-review, presently missing test suite.
- Switched Ethernet Device
- Finishing ns-3-click-mac extensions -> Blocked by queue API resolution
- Antenna Model patch Author must rebase patch against Nicola's patch.
- Packet Tag List
NSOC/GSOC code merges (seem to be slipping out of ns-3.14 timeframe):
- Monitor mode support (Update from Bjorn)
- LTE RRC extension
- UAN Mobility Model merge (from previous GSOC)
- blocked on resolving changes to WaypointMobilityModel API
- Random Variable Stream
- need to generate code review and may slip to ns-3.15; plan is to not touch RandomVariable or any models for ns-3.14
Bugs being worked
Simulation core
Bugs or issues involving things that are not related to protocol or channel models.
