3.4.7. Scope/Limitations¶
This section discusses the scope and limitations of the Data Collection Framework.
Currently, only these Probes have been implemented in DCF:
- BooleanProbe
- DoubleProbe
- Uinteger8Probe
- Uinteger16Probe
- Uinteger32Probe
- TimeProbe
- PacketProbe
- ApplicationPacketProbe
- Ipv4PacketProbe
Currently, no Collectors are available in the DCF, although a BasicStatsCollector is under development.
Currently, only these Aggregators have been implemented in DCF:
- GnuplotAggregator
- FileAggregator
Currently, only this Adaptor has been implemented in DCF:
Time-Series Adaptor.
3.4.7.1. Future Work¶
This section discusses the future work to be done on the Data Collection Framework.
Here are some things that still need to be done:
- Hook up more trace sources in ns-3 code to get more values out of the simulator.
- Implement more types of Probes than there currently are.
- Implement more than just the single current 2-D Collector, BasicStatsCollector.
- Implement more Aggregators.
- Implement more than just Adaptors.
