Extend the implementation of AQM Evaluation Suite in ns-3

Course Code: CO300

Assignment: #19

Overview

AQM Evaluation Suite [1] has been designed and developed at NITK Surathkal for ns-3 [2], based on recommendations of RFC 7928 [3]. This repository contains an extension of the given implementation with additional features crucial for evaluating AQM algorithms.

The additional features included are: (1) RemoveAqm method to remove an AQM from the AQM list and (2) Support of Byte Queue Limits (BQL).

Example: using RemoveAqm method

To remove any specific AQM from the list (e.g., CoDel), use the following in main () method of aqm-eval-suite-runner.cc:

RemoveAqm ("CoDel");

Example: Enable/Disable Byte Queue Limits (BQL)

To enable BQL for a particular scenario (e.g., AggressiveTransportSender), the command is:

./waf --run "aqm-eval-suite-runner --name=AggressiveTransportSender --isBql=true"

To run all scenarios at once with BQL enabled, the command is:

./waf --run "aqm-eval-suite-runner --name=All --isBql=true"
