The ns-3.4 Release

This page summarizes the ongoing release planning for the Fourth stable release of ns-3.

ns-3-dev is scheduled to enter the open phase for ns-3.4 on December 17, 2009. Until then, checkins of new features are forbidden.

The Release Manager

The release manager has not yet been chosen for ns-3.4.

The ns-3.4 Release Schedule

ns-3 releases are based on date-driven schedules as opposed to feature-driven schedules. We decide on an approximate release date and then the release manager works backward to define windows during which time certain activites related to the release can happen. This was done for ns-3.3 and the important milestones for that release can be found here. We have only defined a rough release date for ns-3.4 as of this writing:

  1. December 17, 2008 -- ns-3.4 Open phase begins.
  2. March, 2009 -- ns-3.4 Release

Candidates for Merge into ns-3.4

As you can see in the Roadmap, we have identified several candidates for inclusion in ns-3.4. As time passes and details become more evident, more status regarding the progress of these new features will be added.

  • Tap Net Device (emulation) Support;
  • Perfect/Global ARP;
  • Object Naming Feature with Attribute/Config Integration;
  • Build System Refactoring;
  • IPv4 Routing Refactoring;
  • Additional IPv6 Support;
  • Packet Tag Use Problems;
  • Packet Fragmentation;
  • Netfilter Hooks;
  • Tracing Consistency (pcap model);
  • Model Validation Harness;
  • Random Number Generator and RandomVariable Changes.
