Babel routing protocol implementation for NS-3

[ashvini vyavhare]

Hello,
I need to check Babel routing protocol performance in a network simulator. There is open source C implementation of Babel available. Do I need to rewrite Babel implementation in C++ fully for NS-3? Or any other way (Writing c++ wrapper) is there to include Babel protocol implementation in NS-3? It will be great if pointers to any help is provided regarding the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashvini

Hi,

You will need to re-write a lot of parts not because of the conversion from C to C++, but in order to work with the same data structures. 

From the basic representation of a packet to a more advanced protocol stack, there are so many things you need to consider.

Have a look at DSDV and AODV which are both distance vector routing protocols, similar to Babel and implement it in a similar manner.

There are a lot of discussions in the mailing list you can search for guidelines in developing a new model and routing protocol in particular.

Running existing application on ns-3 is the main target of
DCE (Direct Code Execution). Please look at the document and
see how it meets your goal or not.
