This page summarizes the release planning for ns-3.25 (rescheduled to February 2016). The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.

Release goals

Already added

  • A new TCP implementation developed under this project
  • TCP Hybla and HighSpeed paper presentation
  • Split of the 'applications' module to a new 'internet-apps' module
  • A RIPv2 routing implementation for IPv4
  • nanosecond time resolution for PCAP traces

In progress

There are two remaining issues to complete ns-3.25:

  • Natale Patriciello, Pasquale Imputato, and Stefano Avallone are working on a priority queueing layer and flow control in the IP stack
  • Sebastien Deronne, Matias Richart, and Tom Henderson are working on providing dynamic rate control for Wi-Fi HT/VHT modes.
    • Status: This is listed as bug 1797 in the tracker, but has generated a number of additional bug reports that need to be finished, including 2275, 2311, 2313, 2315, and 2316.

Release and development schedule

Updated Monday March 7

The following schedule is planned:

Feature and patch review status

Starting with ns-3.25, we will use the tracker rather than the wiki pages to track release patches and reviews.

  • These LAST-CALL patches are in last call state, meaning that they are about to be committed barring any comments
  • Looking to help review proposed code? These PATCH-PENDING patches are in patch pending state, meaning that they are providing code proposed for the upcoming release, but need review and signoff by maintainers, and users if possible
  • Looking to help contribute code for the release? These issues are in patch wanted state for the next release, meaning that we are looking for a volunteer to work on them

Packaging

Same packaging as ns-3.24 (allinone tar.bz2 file)

Release platforms

Latest LTS and current releases of Linux, FreeBSD, and OS X. Specifics to be determined.
