Creating topologies with BRITE to NS (Network Simulator)

BRITE (Boston University Representative Internet Topology Generator) is a tool to create topologies using Barabasi Albert or Waxman model. You can export the topologies to different formats like BRITE, Otter, SSF, JSim and NS.

You can use the configuration files available on BRITE repositorie for nsnam, but are only a few of them.

You can run the different configurations modifing the confFile variable inside the file or with the following command:

./waf --run 'brite-generic-example --confFile=src/brite/examples/conf_files/TD_ASBarabasi_RTWaxman.conf'

If you try other configuration file you will get this following error:

(gdb) 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000410faf in ns3::PeekPointer<ns3::Node> (p=...) at ./ns3/ptr.h:564

 (gdb) where

#4  0x000000000040e11e in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe048) at ../scratch/brite-generic-example.cc:98

The 98th line in brite-generic-example.cc is the following:

client.Add (bth.GetLeafNodeForAs (0, numLeafNodesInAsZero - 1));

 At the moment, I don't know how to solve this problem. Any suggestion?
If you want use BRITE to generate topologies, is better to use BRITE GUI to generate them:

wget http://www.cs.bu.edu/brite/download29az78ffhg50kl9/new/BRITE.tar.gz
tar xvf BRITE.tar.gz
cd BRITE
make
./brite



Now, you can export your topology as ns/tcl format (for ns2).

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode

Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller in Mininet

If you try to run a mininet script like this  , maybe you will get this problem if you are under Ubuntu. Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller  This is trigger because your system don't find a default controller . To enable it just add the first line and add the controller argument to net variable like the second line: from mininet.node import OVSController net = Mininet(topo=topo,host=CPULimitedHost, link=TCLink,controller = OVSController) Now, you will get the following error: c0 Cannot find required executable ovs-controller. Please make sure that it is installed and available in your $PATH: (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin) ovs-controller is a legacy name. You need to be sure that you has it. sudo apt-get install openvswitch-testcontroller sudo cp /usr/bin/ovs-testcontroller /usr/bin/ovs-controller If you run it again, you should kill ovs-testcontroller first to avoid this: Exception: Please shut d
