QUIC implementation for ns-3

QUIC code base

This repository contains in the code for a native IETF QUIC implementation in ns-3.

The implementation is described in this paper.

Please use this issue tracker for bugs/questions.

Install

Prerequisites

To run simulations using this module, you will need to install ns-3, clone this repository inside the src directory, copy the QUIC applications from the quic-applications folder, and patch the wscript file of the applications module. Required dependencies include git and a build environment.

Installing dependencies

Please refer to the ns-3 wiki for instructions on how to set up your system to install ns-3.

Downloading

First, clone the main ns-3 repository:

git clone https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev ns-3-dev
cd ns-3-dev/src

Then, clone the quic module:

git clone https://github.com/signetlabdei/quic quic

Thirdly, copy the QUIC applications and helpers to the applications module

cp src/quic/quic-applications/model/* src/applications/model/
cp src/quic/quic-applications/helper/* src/applications/helper/

Finally, edit the wscript file of the applications module and add

        'model/quic-echo-client.h',
        'model/quic-echo-server.h',
        'model/quic-client.h',
        'model/quic-server.h',
        'helper/quic-echo-helper.h',
        'helper/quic-client-server-helper.h'

to the headers.source list and

        'model/quic-echo-client.cc',
        'model/quic-echo-server.cc',
        'model/quic-client.cc',
        'model/quic-server.cc',
        'helper/quic-echo-helper.cc',
        'helper/quic-client-server-helper.cc'

to the module.source list

Compilation

Configure and build ns-3 from the ns-3-dev folder:

./waf configure --enable-tests --enable-examples
./waf build

If you are not interested in using the Python bindings, use

./waf configure --enable-tests --enable-examples --disable-python
./waf build
