How to Run AODV in NS3

Time needed: 6 minutes

Follow from Step 1 to Step 7 in order to create NS3 using Simulation projects. Quick guide to create NS3 simulation. Reach us , if you want an customize NS3 simulation projects works for scholars.

1. Install the NS-3.26

   Initially , install the NS-3.26 tool by using the ns-allinone-3.26.tar.bz2 package. For make install use and execute the command ./build.py

2. Open the terminal

   Initially,Next open the terminal by press ctrl+alt+T buttons or search from the installed software list.

3. Configure the package

   Change the ns-allinone installation location in the terminal, using the command cd ns-allinone-3.26/ns-3.26. And execute the command sudo ./waf configure to binding the python

4. Build the package

   For build the configured package by using the sudo ./waf build command in the ns-allinone-3.26/ns-3.26 . Package and view the build packages , which is include the AODV module.

5. Create a main file

   Next create new main file in the scratch folder. The main file stored with the file extension .cc.
   In the main file , we will include the aodv-module header file to perform the routing process based on the AODV routing protocol

6. Start the simulation

   We will include the aodv-module header file to perform the routing process based on the AODV routing protocol , by using the command to start the simulation process

7. Run the simulation

   By using the command to start the simulation process and run the process to get the AODV routing protocol in NS3.
