INET Routing Table XML Files for IPv6

[Claymore]

Can anyone post here, a XML Routing Table configuration file example, with interfaces configuration for IPv6 ? The documentation of INET has no information about IPv6 configuration.

Thanks!

[Francesco Palumbo]

if you've found a few examples you can share it please?

Well, I never made any kind of testing but it was told to me that this would work:

In the ned File:

standardHost6: StandardHost6 {

            @display("p=172,325");

            numPingApps = 1;

            interfaceTable.displayAddresses = true;

            routingTable = xmldoc("standardHost6.xml");

        }

In the standardHost6.xml file:

<routingTable>

  <interface name="eth0">

    <inetAddr>"fe80::511:29:22b5:ebb"</inetAddr>

  </interface>

</routingTable>

I  hope it helps :)

Hello all,

Yes, I also saw a lot of messages in the group that say it should work.
It did not for me. I am using OMNet++ 4.2 and INET 2.0
I am trying to do a simple network with 2 hosts, that is, no router.
The network is depicted bellow. A UDP data traffic sends datagrams from host1 to host2.

        host1-------------------------------host2
        2001::1/64                        2001::2/64

So, I did the following NED, host1.xml, and host2.xml files. When I run it, host1 never get it global unicast address (2001::1/64). Same as host2 (no global unicast address). The hosts get a link-local address, and the UDP datagrams are sent using link-local addresses. Anybody have an idea how to get global unicast addresses to work???

The syntax of the XML files are not documented!!!

Thank you.

Eric.

      @display("p=100,100;i=device/pc2");
      routingTable = xmldoc("host1.xml");

      numUdpApps = 1;
      udpApp[0].typename = "UDPBasicApp";
      udpApp[0].messageLength = 1024 B;
      udpApp[0].sendInterval = 1.0 s;
      udpApp[0].destPort = 8001;
      udpApp[0].destAddresses = "host2";
      udpApp[0].startTime = 30.0 s;

   gates:
      ethg[1];
   }

   host2: StandardHost6
   {

      @display("p=700,100;i=device/pc2");
      routingTable = xmldoc("host2.xml");

      numUdpApps = 1;
      udpApp[0].typename = "UDPSink";
      udpApp[0].localPort = 8001;

   gates:

   }

connections:

Yes I also had that same problem :S :S
Despite I believe that omnet++ is a great simulation platform, the lack of documentation in the standard and INET modules is disappointing...
Since (for now) i'm only interested in Wi-fi ad-hoc networks with focus in layer 2, for now this is not a problem.

I hope you have better luck!
