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
  • LTE, buildings, and antenna models: several review requests are here
    • Antenna patch will review and merge hopefully by 1 April
    • LTE merge is blocked by resolution of this issue
  • Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) -> author is responding to some final comments
  • Random Variable Stream
    • need to generate code review; plan is to not touch RandomVariable or any models for ns-3.14
  • TCP Echo Code review here
  • TCP Options
  • netanim (added to download.py)

Other:

NSOC/GSOC code merges (seem to be slipping out of ns-3.14 timeframe):
