Release 3.25
============
Availability
------------
This release is available from:
https://www.nsnam.org/release/ns-allinone-3.25.tar.bz2
Supported platforms
-------------------
This release has been tested on the following platforms:
- Ubuntu 15.10 (64 bit) with g++-5.2.1
- Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) with g++-4.8.2
- Fedora Core 23 (64 bit) with g++-5.3.1

- OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with Xcode 7.2.1 and Apple LLVM version 7.0.2
- FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE (64 bit) with clang-3.4.1
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- (internet) The native TCP implementation has been refactored, for the
following improvements:
1) congestion control has been aligned with the Linux architecture,
to facilitate easier coding of new congestion control algorithms
or porting implementations from the Linux kernel,
2) Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery algorithms, compliant to RFCs, are
shared by all TCP variants, unlike previous releases.
3) TCP Hybla and TCP HighSpeed variants have been added.
- (routing) The PrintRoutingTable* functions now print the following information
each time they are called:
1) the node ID,
2) the global time,
3) the local time (allowing for future introduction of per-node clocks),
4) the routing protocol type
- (traffic control) A traffic control sublayer has been added with the aim of
introducing an equivalent of the Linux Traffic +Control infrastructure into
ns-3. This layer sits in between the NetDevices (L2) and the network
protocol (e.g. IP). It is in charge of processing packets and performing
actions on them: scheduling, dropping, marking, policing, etc. Initial
support for flow control has been added to the PointToPointNetDevice;
backward-compatible support for other device types is provided.
- (traffic control) A three band priority queue modelled after Linux
pfifo_fast queueing discipline has been added.
- (traffic control) Adaptive RED extensions have been added to the RED model
- (wifi) A number of changes related to improving support for 802.11n/ac
models have been introduced.
1) Two rate controls compatible with High Throughput (HT) Wi-Fi modes
(e.g. 802.11n/ac), Ideal and MinstrelHT, have been added
2) Support for multiple spatial streams (MIMO) using existing SISO
error models
3) The WiFi helper API for the WifiMac sublayer, and the configuration
of HT modes and parameters, has been simplified
4) Better support for backward compatibilty with legacy modes
- (wifi) 802.11g was made backward compatible with 802.11b networks
- (internet) L4 protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) can be demultiplexed
by IP according to the incoming interface. In other words, it is now
possible to use specialized L4 protocols according to the interface.
- (internet) Ipv6Address::IsAllHostsMulticast() is now deprecated.
FF02::3 is not in the official reserved IPv6 multicast address list.
- (internet) Ipv6Address::IsAll[Nodes,Routers]Multicast() now checks the
address scope beyond the simple link-local. Nodes are checked for
Interface-Local, Link-Local and Realm-Local, Routers for the above plus
Site-Local.
- (internet) Ipv6 routing protocols must now *not* forward packets to upper
layers unless for extremey specific cases. The Ipv6L3protocol handles
almost all the packets directed to the host.
- (internet) Ipv6 can now reject packets directed to an address not configured
on the interface they are received from (Strong End System Model, RFC 1222).
- (internet) UDP and Ipv6 RAW sockets can now join Ipv6 multicast groups.
Incoming packets will be filtered according to if there's a socket listening
to that group. Source filtering is left to the application.
- (network) ns-3 is now capable of serializing cooked (SLL) headers. This is
used in DCE to allow the generation of pcap directly readable by wireshark.
- (internet) It is now possible to set custom values for RipNg Link Down
(standard is 16).
- (internet) permanent (static) NDISC entries can be created for IPv6
- (internet) IPv4 RIPv2 protocol model is now available.

Release 3.22
============
Availability
------------
This release is available from:
http://www.nsnam.org/release/ns-allinone-3.22.tar.bz2
Supported platforms
-------------------
This release has been tested on the following platforms:
- Fedora Core 21 (64 bit) with g++-4.9.2
- Ubuntu 14.10 (32 bit) with g++-4.9.1
- Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) with g++-4.8.2
- Ubuntu 12.04.4 (32/64 bit) with g++-4.6.3
- CentOS/RHEL 6.6 (64-bit) with g++-4.4.7
- OS X Yosemite 10.10 with Xcode 6.1.1 and clang-600.0.56
- FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE (64 bit) with clang-3.4.1
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- (wifi) Support for MPDU aggregation has been added to the wifi model,
as well as a number of related example programs.
- (wifi) Added two combined power and rate control mechanisms to the
wifi module. The new mechanisms, PARF and APARF, are the first in the
wifi module to jointly control transmission power and data rate. Two use
case examples (PowerAdaptationDistance and PowerAdaptationInterference)
and a test case have also been added.
- (lte) In previous releases of the LTE module, the bearer release
functionality was only partially supported. As an enhancement, a
complete release bearer procedure is now implemented, which can be
invoked by calling the new helper method
LteHelper::DeActivateDedicatedEpsBearer(). The related output can be
seen through the stats collected at different layers like PDCP, RLC,
MAC, PHY. To support this implementation, an example and test suite is
added within the LTE module examples and tests folder.
- (wave) Additional support has been added for WiFi-based vehicular networks,
including the channel-access coordination features of IEEE 1609.4 and a
comprehensive VANET routing example that includes a Basic Safety
Message (BSM) packet generator application and associated statistics
counters. Together, these allow users to evaluate the performance effects
in a VANET of varying transmission and channel properties (e.g., packet
rate, message size, transmit power, propagation loss model, impact of
routing protocol traffic, etc.).
- (internet) It is now possible to print the Neighbor Cache (ARP and NDISC)
by using the RoutingProtocolHelper
- (stats) A new TimeProbe class has been added to hook the data collection
framework to traced values emitting Time objects
- (documentation) the callback function signatures for all TraceSources
is documented in Doxygen
- (utils) print-introspected-doxygen.cc has had several enhancements;
use -h to read the usage message for details.
- (core) TracedValue and TracedCallback function signatures are now documented,
which required changing the TypeId::AddTraceSource API.

Release 3.21
============
Availability
------------
This release is available from:
http://www.nsnam.org/release/ns-allinone-3.21.tar.bz2
Supported platforms
-------------------
- Fedora Core 20 (32/64 bit) with g++-4.8.2
- Ubuntu 14.04 (32/64 bit) with g++-4.8.2
- Ubuntu 12.04.4 (64 bit) with g++-4.6.3

- OS X Mavericks 10.9 with Xcode 5.1.1 and clang-503.0.40
- FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE (64 bit) with clang-3.3
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- The LTE module now supports the transport of the S1-U, X2-U and X2-C
interfaces over emulated links via the new helper class EmuEpcHelper.
- CommandLine can now provide a shorthand argument name for any
Attribute.
- Implemented support for Frequency Reuse algorithms in LTE module, as the
outcome of GSoC 2014 project.
The project also includes several sub-features, such as:
- implementation of Downlink Power Control
- implementation of Uplink Power Control
- new DL-CQI generation approach, which increases throughput if FR algorithms
are used
- seven options of Frequency Reuse algorithms: LteFrNoOpAlgorithm,
LteFrHardAlgorithm, LteFrStrictAlgorithm, LteFrSoftAlgorithm,
LteFfrSoftAlgorithm, LteFfrEnhancedAlgorithm, LteFfrDistributedAlgorithm
- updated RadioEnvironmentMapHelper. Now RadioEnvironmentMap can be generated
for Data or Control channel and for specified RbId, what is helpful when
using FR algorithms
- Added a CoDel queue model. CoDel queues measure and control the queue
traversal delay. The ns-3 implementation is a port of the Linux
implementation.
- Added support for TCP timestamp and window scale options, and added
ability to trace the TCP slow start threshold value.
- SimpleNetDevice and SimpleChannel (used for adding basic link effects
for testing of higher-layer protocols) have been extended to support
the option of broadcast or PointToPoint link semantics. The bandwidth
and link delay can be constrained, and it uses an output queue.
- SimpleNetDevice and SimpleChannel can be installed in a node through
a new helper: SimpleNetDeviceHelper.
- Implemented new PacketSocketServer and PacketSocketClient applications.
The primary use is in tests, to avoid using the ones from the
application module that also bring in a dependency on the internet module.

Release 3.19
=============
Availability
------------
This release is available from:
http://www.nsnam.org/release/ns-allinone-3.19.tar.bz2
Supported platforms
-------------------
These platforms have been tested; others may work also:
- Fedora Core 20 (32 bit) with g++-4.8.2
- Fedora Core 19 (32/64 bit) with g++-4.8.1
- Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) with g++-4.8.1

- OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 with Xcode 5 and g++-4.2.1
- FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE (64 bit) with clang-3.3
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- Extension to UE measurements and improved handover algorithm models in LTE
module, as the outcome of GSoC 2013 project. The project also includes several
sub-features, such as:
- implementation of System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1);
- a new option for automatic UE attachment using Idle mode cell selection
procedure;
- improved configurability of UE measurements; and
- two options of handover algorithms for enabling automatic handover trigger
in LTE simulation: A2-A4-RSRQ and strongest cell (A3-RSRP).
- A new FixedRoomPositionAllocator has been added to the buildings
module. It allows one to generate a random position uniformly
distributed in the volume of a chosen room inside a chosen building.
- A new attribute ns3::LteRlcAm::TxOpportunityForRetxAlwaysBigEnough
allows to overcome the lack for re-segmentation in the RLC AM
implementation by assuming that the size of a TxOpportunity is
always big enough for the RLC AM PDU to be retransmitted.
- After some profiling, the code of LteMiErrorModel has been optimized
for speed, resulting in a significantly lower execution time of the
LTE model when used with the error model enabled.
- A new WiFi extension for vehicular simulation support is available in
the src/wave directory. The current code represents an interim capability
to realize an IEEE 802.11p-compliant device, but without the WAVE
extensions (which are planned for a later patch). The WaveNetDevice
modelled herein enforces that a WAVE-compliant physical layer (at 5.9 GHz)
is selected, and does not require any association between devices (similar
to an adhoc WiFi MAC), but is otherwise similar (at this time) to a
WifiNetDevice. WAVE capabililties of switching between control and
service channels, or using multiple radios, are not yet modelled.
- A new IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) model
