To run this;
First copy paste [Link] to scratch folder. Then run below codes in terminal;
1. >> cd ns-allinone-3.30/
2. >> cd ns-3.30/
3. >>. /waf --run scratch/[Link]
Task 02: To implement network simulation using Wireshark;
if you have not installed Wireshark follow below command
o >> sudo apt-get install wireshark
here is the ‘.pcap’ files that were created inside ns3;
run below code to see network simulation in Wireshark;
o >> wireshark [Link]
Task 03: To implement network simulation using tcpdump:
>> tcpdump –n –t –r [Link]
Task 04: To implement network simulation NetAnim to below changes:
