Initial LrWpan support

I have no idea of what I did. It's just a monkey-copy of te WiFi one (with some modifications to skip the ACKs).

As a side note, ACKs are skipped because it's damn hard to track the actual source and destination.

Bug #2191 dependency is because even if we apply this patch, without 2191 the user will not see anything really useful.

Hello Professor Tommaso,

I am currently working with NS-3 (3.26) and NetAnim (3.107). I have created a network of 6LoWPAN nodes (based on the example: src/sixlowpan/examples/example-ping-lr-wpan.cc) and I have included animation to the network (based on the example: src/netanim/examples/wireless-animation.cc). I can see the nodes in the NetAnim but I do no get any animation on the ping6 exchange. 

Here you have attached a patch, how does that work? how can I installed/included/used it to make my animation work?

I am totally new in this, but I am a good student.

Thanks!

Hi Tommaso,

Can you give me a sample program so that I work on pushing this diff?

Hi John,

for lr-wpan this will do:
src/sixlowpan/examples/example-ping-lr-wpan.cc

Cheers

Can you please confirm, 
if this diff is still good from your side?

Hi John,

not really. AnimationInterface must be updated to handle the new NetDevices.
I'm attaching a new patch (it's the old one, I just fixed the patching errors).

Created attachment 2795 [details]
LrWpan support

Created attachment 2796 [details]
LrWpan screenshot

To clarify the previous message.
Without the AnimationInterface changes the nodes are correctly shown (also their addresses), but the packets aren't.

Created attachment 2797 [details]
Simplest test program

W.r.t. the standard example, this one has:
- AnimationInterface enabled, and
- IPv4 stack disabled (not really necessary)

Thanks I committed, http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev/rev/2d47f478b889

Should we close this and #2191 ?
