Project title: Performance Comparison Between IPv4 and IPv6 over WLAN Technology
Scope: more focus on ad hoc network architecture (multi-hop ad hoc network)

4 type of environment:
1) Mobile IPv4 TCP
2) Mobile IPv6 TCP
3) Mobile IPv4 UDP
4) Mobile IPv6 UDP

Comparison crateria:
1) Average delay
2) Average throughput
3) Speed
4) Packet loss rate

Language use:
1) TCL language - for generate network environment in NS2
2) AWK language - for manipulate tracefile to display network statistic

overall process:


logical design:

physical design:

1) install NS-2 (*please view entry posted before)
2) Create TCL script to create the network environment

3) Compile the script
i- Log in as root
ii- Enter the folder contain tcl script file (MIPv4TCP.tcl)
iii- Compile the script

*By compiling the MIPv4TCP.tcl, 2 type of file will be directly created which are MIPv4TCP.nam and MIPv4TCP.tr
* File .tr (tracefile) is a file contain the entire network behavior during the simulation process.
* File .nam (network animation) is a file contain 2D animation that display the network simulation process.

5) Run the awk script by invoke the trace file that want to be measure
i. Via terminal, enter the directory contain "all_parameter.awk" and "MIPv4TCP.tr"
ii. command: awk -f all_parameter.awk MIPv4TCP.tr
iii. Result as shown below will apppear.

6) Compare the difference between all 4 environment
7) Make a decision which IP address format is the best approach in wireless environment for TCP and UDP.

*Project enhancement for PSM 2
i. Search 3 journal that discuss about project methedology, then state why do i choose my current methedology
ii. Search 3 journals that discuss about awk and pearl language, then state why do i choose my current language
iii. Enhance IPv6 script
iv. Add more comparison crateria (Handover delay, jitter)
v. Implement graph to illustrate the comparison result

STEP 1

From terminal login as super user and do the following.(internet must also be connected in order to install the package dependencies.

yum install autoconf
yum install automake
yum install gcc-c++
yum install libX11-devel
yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel
yum install libXt-devel
And for nam installation (optional):
yum install libXmu-devel

STEP 2

From terminal go to the folder where the ns-allinone patch is placed and type the following to extract
$ tar -xzf ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.29
$. /install

STEP 3

Now go to /etc folder and type

gedit ~/.bashrc

Add the following lines to the end of it. Remember replace "/your/path" by something like "/home/kazim". And accordingly also change the version numbers. This is for ns 2.31.

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/bin:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/unix:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tk8.4.14/unix
NS=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31/
NAM=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

Let it take effect immediately

source ~/.bashrc
