Introduction

Selective-TCP was implemented in ns-2.27 simulator on Linux Fedora Core 2. Simulations are conducted to investigate the performance of the Selective-TCP algorithm comparing to TCP Reno, TCP NewReno, TCP SACK, TCP Westwood, and TCP Vegas with 5% burst error in the wireless links.

Installing ns-2

1. Download ns-2 version 2.27 from the ns-2 homepage.

2. To install ns-allinone in your home directory xyz, unpack the ns-2 package:

> cd xyz
> tar xzvf ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz
> cd ns-allinone-2.26
> ./install

This will create an "ns-allinone-2.27" sub-directory with all required files and sub-directories and install ns-2.27.

Installing Selective-TCP

For the required files for installing Selective-TCP, click here.
1. Copy the following files in the ~ns-allinone/ns2.27/tcp/

    tcp-newreno.cc
    tcp.h
    tcp-sink.h
    tcp-sink.cc

2. Copy the following file in the ~ns-allinone/ns2.27/tcl/lib/

    ns-default.tcl

3. Recompile ns-2

    To recompile:
    go to ~ns-allinone/ns2.27/ and type
    ./make clean
    ./make depend
    ./make

4. Run any script file to test the installation. To download the script files, click here.
