How To Implement New Protocol in Ns2

This document provides instructions to modify the ns-2 network simulator codebase to implement the protoname routing protocol. It involves adding code and packet type definitions for protoname in several ns-2 files, including packet.h, cmu-trace.h, cmu-trace.cc, ns-packet.tcl, ns-default.tcl, and ns-lib.tcl. Building ns-2 and running a sample test script tests the protoname implementation.

Tutorial to implement protoname in ns2.

35
This is an Implementation tutorial of new manet(Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks) unicast
protocol name protoname.
The whole credit goes to Francisco J. Ros and Pedro M. Ruiz for their beautiful work
and excellent explanation they provide. The link to their work is below. It contains a PDF
file also which explains you in detail and I recommend you to go through it once.

** Note: Text in red is the part that is to be added or modified in given file and location
and purple colour denotes the terminal commands.
** Note: mod stands for modification.

methods below and above before inserting.
Step 1:
download protoname.rar
http://www.cs.nccu.edu.tw/~g10031/protoname.rar
Extract the files and place them in ~/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/protoname
directory(create the directory if not present)
Step 2:
gedit ~/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/common/packet.h (mods at 3 places)

tutorial again as I am getting the outputs completely and so should you)
