INSTALLATION HOWTO for BIC and CUBIC for NS 2.6 v1
--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
BUILD NS2
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download the NS2 2.6 all-in-one official version.

2. Replace ns-2.6/tcp/tcp.h and ns-2.6/tcp/tcp.cc with 
   tcp/tcp.h and tcp/tcp.cc respectively. 

3. Make NS2.

4. Install SACK-TS (See "Purpose of SACK-TS section" below).
   Make sure you need to ("make clean" and "make") again here.

5. Make sure your environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
   and TCL_LIBRARY pathes are correct).

6. Go to script directory and run "./one_protocol" script.
   This will run CUBIC protocol and saves html results (plots
   and some statistics) under ns_result/intra_protocol directory.


--------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of SACK-TS:

1. Reduce timeouts in TCP/SACK by recovering the retransmitted
   packets using the Time-Stamp option.

2. Speed up simulation using a fast implementation of scoreboard

--------------------------------------------------------------
To extend NS2.26 to run SACK-TS, you need to do the following:

1. Copy all files under sack-ts-code directory into 
   ns-allinone-2.26/ns-2.26/tcp directory. 

2. add the following lines to the list of object files, "OBJ_CC",
   in file ns-allinone-2.26/ns-2.26/Makefile
     tcp/SackList.o tcp/intDList.o tcp/hashtable.o\
     tcp/tcp-sack-ts.o tcp/scoreboard-ts.o\

3. Make NS ("make clean", and then "make")

4. In your script, use the following line to create a connection
   $ns create-connection TCP/SackTS $n1 TCPSink/Sack1/DelAck $n2 $class
