QoSR (QoS Routing) in ns-2

We have carried out work on QoSR in past years, where we see a need for an open simulation tool. ns-2 is widely used for research study in QoS area so that we can save cost on developing other QoS related components. We focus on developing QoS routing functionalities in NS-2, on which to study new routing mechanisms for future IP networks in general.

Our work comprises of the following sub-fields at least

• Implementation of QOSPF based on RFC2676
• Interfaces with other components (i.e., MPLS, DiffServ)
• Implementation of intelligent routing functionalities
• Simulation and verification

There are some source codes for downloading. However, we note that we donot guarantee the use of these software. Most of them are still under test.
