Lack of socket layer service

• BGP is built on top of TCP layer.

• In order to establish the connection, BGP needs to know whether the TCP connection is successful or not.

• Without a socket layer, BGP has to monitor the status of the TCP three-way handshake.

• Solution: Implement a socket layer in ns-2

  • Co-op project with Joe Wang
