TCP Bulk Send over wifi not working

[M.S. krishna deepak]

Hi,

I am trying to modify the TCP bulk send example to work over wifi with just 2 nodes. 

But for some reason no packets are being sent or received. 

Someone please help me out of this

Thank You,

Krishna Deepak

Hi,

Please check your code more carefully.

You have:

BulkSendHelper source ("ns3::TcpSocketFactory", InetSocketAddress (i1.GetAddress (0), port));  
ApplicationContainer sourceApps = source.Install (stas.Get (0));

You install the source on the STA and the remote address is i1.GetAddress(0), which from your code is installed on the wifiContainer,

Hi,

Thanks for the input. Even after changing it, no packets are being sent.

Could you please explain what to give as a parameter to BulkSendHelper, SinkHelper.

This is the modified code

Could someone help me find the mistake in it? Or is there some other way to generate bulk traffic?

Thank You,

Deepak

Hi,

The problem is in the order you wrote your code that instead of creating a STA and a AP, it created two AP devices.

 NqosWifiMacHelper wifiMacHelper = NqosWifiMacHelper::Default (); 
Ssid ssid = Ssid ("ns-3-ssid"); 
wifiMacHelper.SetType ("ns3::StaWifiMac", "Ssid", SsidValue (ssid), "ActiveProbing", BooleanValue (false)); 
WifiHelper wifiHelper = WifiHelper::Default (); 
wifiMacHelper.SetType ("ns3::ApWifiMac", "Ssid", SsidValue (ssid)); 
NetDeviceContainer apContainer = wifiHelper.Install(wifiPhyHelper, wifiMacHelper, ap); 
NetDeviceContainer wifiContainer = wifiHelper.Install(wifiPhyHelper, wifiMacHelper, stas);

This is your code. You have created the wifiMacHelper and set its type to STA .

Then instead of installing it to the STA devices, you reconfigure its type to AP and install it to both AP and STA nodes.

The fact that you have named a node STA, does not make it STA...

I will leave the solution to you.
