I was able to verify and debug the cause. The culprit is that OLSR is occasionally sending packets greater than 1500 bytes. In the specific case for 40 nodes, OLSR tries to send a 1484 byte packet (which becomes 1512 bytes after UDP and IP headers) on a 1500 byte MTU link. The fundamental problem is that ns-3 doesn't support IP fragmentation for UDP. We need to decide when we are going to solve this because it will crop up again. For now, the workaround in OLSR to avoid this is to scale back the number of messages that can be inserted into a single packet, such as: --- a/src/routing/olsr/olsr-agent-impl.cc Sun Nov 09 12:34:48 2008 +0000 +++ b/src/routing/olsr/olsr-agent-impl.cc Mon Nov 17 15:45:42 2008 -0800 @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ #define OLSR_PORT_NUMBER 698 /// Maximum number of messages per packet. -#define OLSR_MAX_MSGS 64 +#define OLSR_MAX_MSGS 24 I moved this to the internet-stack module. I volunteer to add ip fragmentation support once the ipv4 restructuring is done. changed title to reflect the remaining open issue bumping priority down-- fragmentation will not be part of ns-3.3 release Bumping priority since this is a target for 3.4, and assigning to Mathieu who volunteered. fragmentation not part of ns-3.4 Can we have an updates test case showing the bug? Ns-3 changed a "little" bit and I can't reproduce this bug anymore. Thanks, T. This bug might now be fixed as IPv4 does have fragmentation and reassembly support. Shall we close it ?

Created attachment 303 [details] Script where sim fails Hi, I am trying to run the following case: TOPOLOGY: WIRED CSMA WIRELESS CHANNEL ______________ O O )) (( O )) RANDOMLY PLACED IN 500x500 map Nk N0 N1 ..... N(k-1) where nNodes = k-1 The following happens: ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=10" #Works ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=39" #Works ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=40" #Fails ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=41" #Works ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=50" #Fails ./waf --run "scratch/wifi-mesh -nNodes=100" #Fails when it fails, I get: assert failed. file=../src/internet-stack/ipv4-l3-protocol.cc, line=671, cond="packetCopy->GetSize () <= outInterface->GetMtu ()" Command ['/home/cortes/ns3/ns-3-dev/build/debug/scratch/wifi-mesh', '-nNodes=40'] exited with code -11 Thanks,
