How to Install TCP.H Packages in Ns2

To Import TCP.h_ packages in NS2 tool read the steps listed in this page we will share with you best research ideas. The TCP header plays a key role in using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which is essential for reliable communication that requires a connection over networks. The tcp.h file includes important functions for managing connections, controlling data flow, handling congestion, and detecting errors. The TCP class makes sure that data packets arrive in the right order and without mistakes. It also takes care of important tasks like resending packets if they get lost and using window-based flow control to avoid overwhelming the network.

PRE-REQUISITES:

  1. Fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

NS-2.35 Installation

HEADER FILE VERIFICATION:

  1. Locate to the ns-2.35 folder:

2.Create the Main.tcl file in the scratch folder:

Next we need to create the Main.tcl file by using text editor in the ns-2.35 folder.

Screenshot:

Create the Main.tcl file in the scratch folder

Next we need to paste the below code to the Main.tcl file and save the file in the ns-2.35 folder.

Code:

set ns [new Simulator]

set nf [open out.nam w]

$ns namtrace-all $nf

set tracefile [open out.tr w]

$ns trace-all $tracefile

proc finish {} {

    global ns nf tracefile

    $ns flush-trace

    close $tracefile

    close $nf

    exec nam out.nam &

    exit 0}

set n0 [$ns node]

set n1 [$ns node] 

set n2 [$ns node]

set n3 [$ns node]

set n4 [$ns node]

set n5 [$ns node]

set n6 [$ns node]

set n7 [$ns node]

$ns simplex-link $n0 $n1 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n1 $n2 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n2 $n3 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n3 $n4 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n4 $n5 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n5 $n6 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n6 $n7 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns simplex-link $n7 $n0 1Mb 10ms DropTail

$ns rtproto LS

set tcp0 [new Agent/TCP] ;# Create TCP agents and attach them to nodes

$ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp0

set tcp1 [new Agent/TCP]

$ns attach-agent $n7 $tcp1

set cbr0 [new Application/Traffic/CBR] ;# Create a TCP traffic generator and attach it to the TCP agent

$cbr0 set packetSize_ 1000

$cbr0 set rate_ 500Kb

$cbr0 attach-agent $tcp0

set null0 [new Agent/Null]

$ns attach-agent $n7 $null0 ; # Connect the TCP agents

$ns connect $tcp0 $null0

$ns at 1.0 “$cbr0 start”

$ns at 10.0 “$cbr0 stop”

$ns at 12.0 “finish”

$ns run

3.Open the Terminal:

Next, we need to launch the terminal by right clicking the mouse in the ns-2.35 location.

Open the Terminal

4.NS-2.35 Configuration && Building Process:

Next, we need to configure and build the ns-2.35 folder to make the Created files need to work in ns-2.35 configuration.

Command:      “./make”

NS-2.35 Configuration && Building Process

Here, NS-2.35 Building process completed successfully.

5.Importing Tcp.h:

Here we imported the Tcp.h header file code indirectly accessed the Tcp class used in the Tcl script (set tcp0 [new Agent/TCP] $ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp0), Agent/TCP in Tcl maps to the TcpAgent class in the header file. It creates a new instance of TcpAgent and attaches it to a node (n0), enabling it to participate in this example program. Here we highlighted the code line that highlighted which is internally accessed Tcp.h that we will show class file that used in this code via TCP folder.

Importing Tcp.h

Screenshot:

Here we will show the header file by opening Tcp.h file to show the class or function imported from the Tcp.h in the example code. Tcp.h is used (set tcp0 [new Agent/TCP] $ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp0), TCP agents handle the TCP functionality on the respective nodes during the simulation.

6.Executing the Example Program for Tcp Header:

Then we need to run the Example program for Tcp Header to view output of the program.

Command:      “./ns Main.tcl”

Screenshot:

Executing the Example Program for Tcp Header

Here we shown the output of the example program by using Tcp.h.
