[ns] FW: GPRS for NS -call for assistance

["Robert Iakobashvili" <robert@marnetics.com>]

> Subject : NS for GPRS - call for assistance.
> My OS is Solaris 5.7 on sparc, NS simulator version is
> ns-allinone-2.1b7a.
> 
> I tried to follow the procedure of Roger (zroger@lucent.com
> <mailto:zroger@lucent.com>) and did the following:
> 
> STEP 1: BASIC ns-allinone-2.1b7a 
> 
> Extracted ns-allinone-2.1b7a ;
> Made the build and tested  by ./validate- it was o'key.
> 
> STEP 2. NOAH extension.
> 
> Fully removed  the ns-allinone-2.1b7a directory with all the build and
> unset all environment variables;
> Extracted ns-allinone-2.1b7a ;
> 
> Applied the noah extension from Jorg Widmer site:
> 	<http://www.isci.berkeley.edu/~widmer/mnav/ns-extension>
> 
> 
> 	It was compiled normally with a minor errors either with Thomas
> Schwabe version of the NOAH extension, or when I fetched the
> all-in-one-installation of ns based on ns-allinone-2.1b7a and already
> incorporating the extension from
> <http://www.isci.berkeley.edu/~widmer/mnav/ns-extension>, named
> ns-wireless-2.1b7a.tar.gz
> 
> 	In both cases the compilation was o'key, but ./validate failed
> for the tests:
> 
> 	mip-adv-one, mip-adv-zero, mip-adv-multi failed with core dump;
> 	test-all-energy.tcl : dsdv, dsr, aodv - compute-routes problem ;
> 	dsdv-wired-cum-wireless has a meaningfull, but different output
> ;
> 	wireless1 and wireless2- configuration problems;
> 	wireless3 - core dump ;
> 	test-all-wireless-tdma.tcl : dsdv and dsr - configuration
> problem
> 	test-suite-wireless-shadowing.tcl : dsr - configuration and
> routing problem
> 	test-suite-wireless-diffusion.tcl : diff-rate-default,
> diff-rate-other, omnicast, flooding - configuration problems.
> 
> 
> 	STEP 3. GPRS MODULE from Richa Jain
> 
> 	To the directories obtained from step 2 :
> 	1.	applied patch pgrs_patch ;
> 	2.	copied files from final_code directory ;
> 	3.	compiled successfully ;
> 
> 	Now the problems:
> 
> 	1.	example.tcl test from GPRS module has failed with:
> rlc-timers.cc:88: failed assertion 'busy_' ;
> 
> 	2.	the following ./validate tests failed:
> 
> 		test-suite-lan.tcl lan-routing-flat, lan-broadcast - the
> both failed with 
> 	"ll-timers.cc:87: failed assertion 'busy_' ;
> 
> 	mip-adv-one, mip-adv-zero, mip-adv-multi failed with core dump;
> 
> 	test-suite-energy.tcl : dsdv, dsr, aodv - failed with - can't
> read "rlcType_": no such variable - and further staff;
> 
> 	test-all-wireless-gridkeeper.tcl dsdv - failed with - no value
> given for parameter "anttype" to "_o16" and further 	staff;
> 
> 	wireless1 wireless2 and wireless3- failed with - can't read
> "rlcType_": no such variable - 	and further staff;
> 
> 			test-suite-wireless-shadowing.tcl : dsdv and dsr
> - failed with - can't read "rlcType_": no 	such variable -

> 
> 			test-suite-wireless-diffusion.tcl :
> diff-rate-default, diff-rate-other, diff-prob, omnicast, flooding -
> all failed with - can't read "rlcType_": no such variable - and
