Ant Colony Algorithm using NS2 - AntNet | NS2 Tutorial 30

#AntColony Algorithm in NS2 for Wired Networks.

#NS2 #ANTNET

I am running in Ubuntu 20.04

There are multiple files in Ant Colony (we use a protocol called Antnet) which i have already included inmy blog called
https://www.nsnam.com

Lets go to my Blog. And Search for Ant Colony and Download the complete folder AntNet as shown in the video.

Now Copy paste the files in their corresponding location:

My Location if ns2 is
/home/pradeepkumar/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
Inside this folder, the files have to be pasted in differnet sub folders...
Let me show you one by one...

cmu-trace.cc and cmu-trace.h have to be pasted to ~trace/
drop-tail.cc and drop-tail.h ---- ~queue/
Makefile.in to be replaced in the ns-2.35/ folder.

ns-default.tcl, ns-lib.tcl and ns-packet.tcl to be pasted at
~tcl/lib

packet.h to be replaced at common/ folder.



priqueue.cc and priqueue.h to be pasted at queue/

antnet/ folder have to be copied to ns-2.35/ folder (this is very important as this is the main algorithm.)

Step 2:
Change the GCC and G++ compiler in the Makefile.in as this is very important, else you might get errors if you leave the default GCC.

Please refer my following video on how to install ns2.35 in ubuntu 20.04.

Open Makefile.in

Change the following lines as given below

CC = gcc-4.8
CPP = g++-4.8

Step 3: Now Compile it
Open a Terminal.
$] cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
$] ./configure
$] make clean
$] make

This might take some time based on the speed of your computer.
Without errors, successfully installed....

Step 4:
Now lets understand the algorithm and packet structure.

Step 5:
Running the TCL File.

$] ns simpleant.tcl

We got three files simple.tr and simple.nam and rtable.txt
