How to Install TCP SINK.H Packages in Ns2

To import Tcp-sink.h packages in NS2 tool we have outlined all the steps  so if you run into any problems after following it , contact us and we’ll provide you with the finest research answers.  all the needed resources and methodologies to guide you on the right track. TCP-Sink is a special program that works as the endpoint for a TCP connection. It mimics how a TCP receiver behaves by confirming that it has received packets from the TCP sender. Usually, the TCP-Sink works alongside a TCP source agent, which is responsible for sending the data. Together, they create a complete simulation of TCP communication. Unlike a typical TCP agent, the TCP-Sink doesn’t create any traffic; instead, it replies to incoming packets by sending back acknowledgments (ACKs). These acknowledgments are really important for ensuring that data is transferred reliably and that the flow of information is controlled.

PRE-REQUISITES:

  1. Fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

Fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

2.NS-2.35 Installation:

Here, Percentage (%)  symbol Denotes the successful installation of the NS 2.35 Simulator.

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:

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 tracefile [open out.tr w]

set namfile [open out.nam w]

$ns trace-all $tracefile

$ns namtrace-all $namfile

proc finish {} {

    global ns tracefile namfile

    $ns flush-trace

    close $tracefile

    close $namfile

    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]

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

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

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

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

# Set up TCP agent on node n0 (sender)

set tcp0 [new Agent/TCP]

$tcp0 set class_ TCP

$ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp0

# Set up TCP Sink on node n4 (receiver)

set sink [new Agent/TCPSink]

$ns attach-agent $n4 $sink

# Connect TCP source and sink

$ns connect $tcp0 $sink

# Create a TCP traffic generator and attach it to the TCP agent

set ftp [new Application/FTP]

$ftp attach-agent $tcp0

$ns at 0.5 “$ftp start”

$ns at 4.5 “$ftp stop”

$ns at 5.0 “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-sink.h:

Here we imported the Tcp-sink.h header file code indirectly accessed the Tcp-sink class used in the Tcl script (set sink [new Agent/TCPSink] $ns attach-agent $n4 $sink), This agent is attached to node n4, acting as a TCP receiver. The tcp-sink.h header listens for incoming TCP packets and sends acknowledgments back to the sender in this example program. Here we highlighted the code line that highlighted which is internally accessed Tcp-sink.h that we will show class file that used in this code via TCP folder.

Screenshot:

Importing Tcp-sink.h

Here we will show the header file by opening Tcp-sink.h file to show the class or function imported from the Tcp-sink.h in the example code. Tcp-sink.h is used (set sink [new Agent/TCPSink] $ns attach-agent $n4 $sink), This agent is attached to node n4, acting as a TCP receiver. The tcp-sink.h header defines the TcpSink class, which represents the TCP receiver & It listens for incoming TCP packets and sends acknowledgments back to the sender during the simulation.

6.Executing the Example Program for Tcp-sink Header:

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

Command:      “./ns Main.tcl”

Screenshot:

Executing the Example Program for Tcp-sink Header

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