sending data from real host to simulated node ns-3 other than ping

[srinivas poram]

Hi,
I have created tap devices and bridge devices using linux containers and i'm able to ping the simulated node in ns-3 from the real host (in which ns-3 is installed). i have checked same by using wireshark where i can able see icmp from 192.168.10.xxx (real node) and 10.1.1.2(simulated node). If i want to send some data (other than ping) from real node to simulated node what is procedure. also if i want ping the simulated node from any external node(other than in which ns-3 is installed what is procedure. i think i need to use GRE(Generic Routing Encapsulation) or any other possible method is there.

thanks in advance

Hi hello i have achieved sending the data from the linux host in which simulator is installed to any simulated by using ncat.
open another terminal and try send data by using :

ncat -vv 10.1.1.2 8888 -u

then type the data to be sent to simulated node.

we can check the data transmission by using wireshark.

But i need help in the case if want to send some data from external PC(other than the one in which ns-3 is installed) then what is the procedure.

thanks in advance.
