Hi,

I'm new on this NS3 tool. Facing problem when transfer the traffic simulation from SUMO that created three files: Mobility.tcl, Activity.tcl & Config.tcl. into NS3. Once running it on NS3, the mobility.tcl file cannot be read and display error like terminated with error SIGIOT. Appreciate if someone here can help me on this problem and idea to solve it. Many thanks in advanced.Please refer to attachment for screen shot taken during the error occurred.

Hi

The message is clear "Could not open file .... for reading".

The reason could be that the file is not there or that you do not have read rights to that.

Check for potential typos.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,

Actually the file located on scratch directory. For potential typos is that on commands like "./waf --run ....". just wants to confirm the idea being shared.

NS3 programs points to files starting from your ns3 root directory. In your case: "~/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/"

I usually simply place my TCL file in "~/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/" or create a directory under it for all my traces and logs.

I do notice that you have an error in your path.

You're working directory "~/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/" , so maybe your mobility trace file is in "~/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/scratch" but you're passing a different path, /ns3/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/ , which does not have your TCL, or might not even exist. You're also using $Home, but you probably mean $HOME. I'd usually just simply use ~ as this means home directory.

For simplicity, place the mobility.tcl under ~/Desktop/NS3/ns3-allinone/ns-3.26/ and simply use --traceFile=mobility.tcl and that should work. or simply leave it where it is, and use --traceFile=scratch/mobility.tcl

Hope this helps!

Hi Adil,

Thanks for your helps. Finally, managed to run the simulation successfully. By the way, do you have any ideas on how to configure the simulation. The reason is that after my simulation running, there is no packet data sending and replying among the nodes. Appreciate if you can help me on this like configuring routing protocol,AODV, IP Addressing, Logging and etc. Now I'm doing VASNET research to do search and rescue application to evaluate the VASNET performance. Looking forward to hear from you to share some valuable ideas to me.

Dear Sia,

Please consider studying the tutorial and examples.

They explain how you can configure all those parameters you asked.

In addition, I had presented a tutorial on vehicular communications during the WNS3 2015

The slides and materials can be found here https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/AnnualTraining2015 and a recording is available here https://vimeo.com/134337391
