thanks for ur help, mr knudfl.
I do want to ask that is where can i get fpmip protocol?
How to simulate wireles mesh scenario? 
Is there have the code that simulate wireless mesh scenario, so that just integrate it in the protocol's tcl file?

Google    simulate fpmip protocol
no results ?        Seems that no net-simulators have "fpmip" available ...

I am facing problem to simulate MIPv6. I downloaded the fhmip_235.patch and follow the instruction to block unwanted code. During simulate it pops out the error and terminate the simulation. Can someone help me?

Thank you, sir. My problem solved.

Next, i do want to try simulate other types of Mobile IP. 

By following simulation instruction in fhmip_simula.tcl, i do need to block the required part of code.

Below is the screenshot of the simulation instruction:

Screenshot 2023-10-10 101517.jpg

My question is how to block the part of code? Do i block the part correctly?
This is how i block out the code when i simulating Mobile IP. ( Below are the part of the code in both file)

mip-reg.cc:

//#define MAP_MODE                        /* RCH */    // Remember to attach-mapagent $MAP in simula.tcl!!!
//#define FAST_HANDOVER                   /* RCH */
//#define FAST_MAP_HANDOVER               /* RCH */

//#define OPTIMIZED_HANDOFF              /* TS_JCW */   // RCH: Remember to turn OPTIMIZED_HANDOFF off for MIPv4 simulation

//#define MIP_QUIET

//#define FAST_QUIET                    /* RCH */ 

 

fhmip_simula.tcl:

#HA - 5
set HA [$ns_ node 1.0.0]
#[$HA set regagent_] priority 3

#MN - 6
$ns_ node-config -wiredRouting OFF
set MN [$ns_ node 1.0.1]
[$MN set regagent_] set home_agent_ [AddrParams addr2id [$HA node-addr]]
$ns_ node-config -wiredRouting ON

#PAR - 7
set PAR [$ns_ node 3.1.0 2.0.0]

#[$PAR set regagent_] priority 3



#NAR - 8
set NAR [$ns_ node 4.1.0 2.0.0]

#[$NAR set regagent_] priority 4 

 

# RCH Attaching the MAP agent.
#$ns_ attach-mapagent $MAP       ;# Need to enable MAP_MODE in mip-reg.cc

 

*I block the lines(red colored line) using comment in both files.

Then, I start simulation and i notice that it not working like fhmip. It seems like no packet transferring occur and simulation ends fast.

Below is the code file that i used to block code

My comments : I guess you know how to copy-paste a text.

"My question is how to block the part of code?" : Sorry, I do not write code. Suggest : Use do and try, till you have a result.

Download, install Xgraph   xgraph_12.1-17_amd64.deb  
sudo apt install Downloads/xgraph_12.1-17_amd64.deb

Correction :  Ubuntu 10.10 - 32bit was mentioned for nistmob + pmipv6

i download the patch_2.5.9-5_i386.deb and install in ubuntu
then i start patch with command patch -p0 < pmip-for-ns-2.29-nist.patch and the output is:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

If you really want to do a new build yourself in the old Hardy, you will of course have to install the ns2 build tools.
Replace the text in /etc/apt/sources.list with this text

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security multiverse universe

.... and then do   $ sudo apt-get update
Install g++ etc. :        $ sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf libtool libxmu-dev

Please know that everybody else have used the modern 32bit CentOS 6.10 - x86, released year 2018

For the right version of ns-allinone-2.29, you simply search for ns-allinone-2.29.3.tar.gz in Google
The first hit is (of course)               ns-allinone-2.29.3.tar.gz

Right, Ubuntu 8.04 is problematic. May be the old recommendation is not valid for the updated 8.04 ....
ns-2.29 builds OK with g++-3.4, but cannot finish = the linking of 'ns' fails.
? There may be a solution with the Redhat RHEL 5 "compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6".

Ubuntu 8.04 :  Right, the "compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-4.1-i386-EL5" will do for "ns-2.29-nist"
I.e. ns2 code was originally all made and tested with the year ~200 redhat 7 - redhat 9 compilers, and later with RHEL 5.x and RHEL 6.x. (Or CentOS 5.11 , CentOS 6.10)
.... There's a big difference. Some original gcc's, e.g. gcc-4.8 had ~100 patches added by Debian / Ubuntu.
So when Ubuntu issues, "g++48" was used instead of "g++-4.8".

Ubuntu 8.04, install ....................
$ cd /
$ sudo tar xvf [path-to]/compat-gcc-34-3.4.6-4.1.i386.tar.gz
$ sudo tar xvf [path-to]/compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-4.1.i386.tar.gz

The ns-allinone-2.29 build command is then
export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

The result for fhmip patch is only available for fhmip, others protocols are failed to run after modify according to the instruction in the example tcl file.

Hello, sir
I am new to ns2 and i am totally stuck for my project.
My project is to having protocols (MIP, FMIP, HMIP, FHMIP and PMIP) to run in a same Mesh environment(or scenario? I dont know are they the same things?)
However, i only manage to get simulate MIP, FHMIP and PMIP by using the examples i get from sir.
My next goal is to intergrate all protocols i get into a same mesh environment so that i can compare the performance of protocols.
Could sir guide me how to complete my goal?

ns2 {MIP, FMIP, HMIP, FHMIP and PMIP} + mesh :    I don't think so.
There are no usable examples. And really no {MIP, FHMIP, PMIP} + mesh.
The one "wimax-mesh" example is  a video transfer example: mesh.tcl .
edited to also ns-2.35 : Mesh-802.16_ns235.patch

If you want to do new inventions with {MIP, FMIP, HMIP, FHMIP and PMIP} + mesh :
Find a modern simulator which can do it.  (or can do a couple of these protocols.)
Many specialists would say "ns2 is not used any more".
ns2: Not updated for many years, no official support from www.nsnam.org for 8+ years.

I do want to ask how to show perfect layout of topology when executing the nam file?

Let fhmip_simula.tcl as example
I am using ns2.35, ubuntu version 22.04
After i simulate the tcl file and execute the .nam file, only wireless node is at right position others wired nodes are not at the coordinate that set in tcl file.
How to solve this problem?

$ ns235-fhmip fhmip_simula.tcl :  
1. As you can see from the nam animation, the nodes are shown in a line, despite very different y-axes settings.
2. The second example,  FHMIPv6-script-2.tcl has no nam file.
.... so I would say, that like some other cluster set-ups, nam is not really supported.
( Examples LEACH and Mannasim (cluster heads) have no NAM support.)

Supported is "fhmip_plot_seq.pl"
(comment out line 38 to:   # open(secondarytrace, '0') or die "couldn't open 0"; )
Examples plot output ...............
$ gnuplot
gnuplot> plot 'recv1.log'
gnuplot> plot 'recv8.log'  
gnuplot> plot 'send5.log'
gnuplot> plot 'send5.log' w lines
gnuplot> q

» Classfier::no-slot{} default handler «   is a common error with ns2 simulations.

Please use Google           Classfier::no-slot{} default handler
Example  ...........

Solution (if any) :  The usual → Every detailed information is required .........
Upload the simulation (if it's a new unknown one)

sir, i do want to ask is there any example of mipv6 that do inter mobility?
I try to modified example code of mobiwan-examples-1.tar.gz, but fail to get it.
Is that the patch not support inter mobility management?

My system is Centos 6.10 using ns2.33

"inter mobility" is not a generally known term in networking
I.e.  Google       inter mobility networking :   No hits related to network ? ?  I think

Please explain how "inter mobility" is supposed to work,  and in which context.

All nodes in examples provided in mobiwan-examples-1.tar.gz are in same domain with different cluster except correspondent node(cn).
The mobile able to stay connected while moving to different Base Station(bs) nodes that located at different cluster .
I do want to simulate the mobile node able to establish connection while moving towards a BS node with different domain than mobile node
