This page summarizes the release planning for ns-3.28. The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.

Release status

ns-3.28 was released on 22 March 2018.

Current activity

Note: Most of these unfinished items have slid to ns-3.29.

Wifi

  • PCF support (Sebastien Deronne)
    • Posted for review here, but likely held until after the release.

Python bindings

Further automate the generation of bindings using CastXML, as discussed here: https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2451#c22

TCP

Bug Fixes:

Traffic control

Stefano Avallone mentioned the following plans.

  • introduce other qdiscs: fifo, prio and token bucket (from GSoC)
  • help Pasquale and Tommaso to merge the netmap netdevice (SOCIS)
  • if time permits, implement the Diffserv to IEEE 802.11 mapping as defined by draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11-09
  • review and merge a few pending code reviews which implement other qdiscs (REM, BLUE, PI, PI2) and add ECN support to CoDel and PIE

UAN

  • Bug 2413 - Changes in the UAN module to support NS-3 IP stack (patch submitted, pending final review)
  • Bug 2805 - RFC6775-Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 (waiting for Tommaso recommendations)
