Bug 207242 – net-analyzer/ns-2.31 add patch to include Linux TCP congestion control implementations

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Tobias 2008-01-24 03:13:43 UTC]

There is a patch which adds Linux TCP congestion control implementations to ns. It would be useful to have a use flag to use that patch. So i modified the ns ebuild to include that patch. Website of the project is: http://netlab.caltech.edu/projects/ns2tcplinux/ns2linux/


Reproducible: Always

Improved patch to add linux TCP congestion control agents to ns

I have improved the patch a bit, now it uses the extras use flag instead of tcplinux, downloading the patch is conditional, and it also displays some informative messages.
Is there anything else I should do?

Paul, have you tried to contact ns upstream? What do the think about this patch?

Moving to herd since Anant left Gentoo.

ns version 2.33 is out, and it already contains this patch. So this bug is no longer needed. Just close #216615 (New version: net-analyzer/ns-2.33) please.
