About craigdo

Craigdo.jpg

craigdo (sometimes known as Craig Dowell, sometimes by names too vile to mention here) is an ns-3 developer based out of The University of Washington Department of Electrical Engineering in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Responsibilities

I am the maintainer-of-record for the following pieces of ns-3:

  • src/node
  • src/devices/csma
  • src/devices/point-to-point
  • src/helper
  • src/routing/global-routing
  • src/doc/tutorial
  • regression tests

This means that bugs assigned to these modules are (at least initially) assigned to me and I am responsible for evaluating patches and conributions for as they might affect these modules. This is an ongoing maintenance effort that is always part of my work. In addition to my maintainer hat, I also contribute to other parts of ns-3.

Maintenance Queue

There are a number of bugs assigned in my areas of responsibility, listed here in numerical order:

  1. Node names patch
  2. Doxygen warnings in RC1
  3. *Helper::SetAttribute* methods sometimes painful to use
  4. csma helper hooks the transmit queue enqueue operation for pcap tracing
  5. Net device pcap traces arent consistent with what tcpdump would display
  6. contribution -- drop tail queue with byte limits
  7. socket attributes not hooked into the config namespace

Contribution Queue

I have just completed a contribution for an ns-3 object name service. This is in the final stages of gaining approval for merge into the ns-3.4 release.

I am also working on a pair of contribution that will allow ns-3 simulations to talk to the outside world in real time. These are usually called the emu and tap emulation models. I first provided a real-time scheduler in ns-3.2 as enabling technology. The emu part of the equation was released with ns-3.3 and the tap part is scheduled for inclusion in the ns-3.4 release due out in March.
