Our research professionals have provided this article “how to run Ns2 program in Ubuntu” to get to know about the process of running Ns2 based program mainly in Ubuntu.

Ns2 Program in Ubuntu

Initially, we have highlighted the sample Ns2 program code for your reference in the following.

• Specification of network configuration

set val(chan)               Channel/WirelessChannel

set val(prop)               Propagation/TwoRayGround

set val(ifqlen)             50

set val(netif)  Phy/WirelessPhy

• Node configuration

      for {set i 0} {$i < $val(nn) } { incr i } {

            set node_($i) [$ns node]    

      }

      for {set i 0} {$i < $val(nn) } {incr i } {

            $node_($i) color black

            $ns at 0.000000001 “$node_($i) color odourless”

            $ns at 0.000000001 “$node_($i) add-mark m10 pink hexagon”

      }

Run Ns2 Program in Ubuntu
