Patches

July 5, 2006

This page contains links to patches which are upgrades to minor releases or minor fixes over releases.

Installation of patches is straightforward: uncompress the patch directly on top of where J-Sim is installed and recompile the sources if necessary.

  • These are not really a patch.  These are the Jacl source archives (modified for J-Sim), for those who want to play with the Tcl interpreter.  One should install the archive in the same directory as the J-Sim package.
    • The ANT build file for compiling the Jacl sources with the J-Sim sources.
    • Modified Jacl 1.3.1 sources, 521KB, 02/03/2004.  The binary is included in J-Sim v1.3 (as jars/tcl.zip).  This is usable with J-Sim v1.2.1 but the exception handling is not compatible so it will not show much information of an exception.
    • Modified Jacl 1.2.6 sources, 473KB, 04/25/2003.  The binary is already included in J-Sim release v1.2.1 (as jars/tcl.zip).
  • Patches for GUI Editor v0.04
    • v0.04-patch1, 46KB, 04/07/2003
      • fix a possible deadlock at start-up on some systems.
  • Patches for Sensorsim Package
    • patch-sensorsim.tgz, 51KB, 01/18/2005
      • include a localization protocol and a directed diffusion protocol.
      • Class additions and modification are found at here.
  • Patches for J-Sim v1.3
    • v1.3-patch4, 348KB, 07/05/2006, includes previous patches, change log
    • v1.3-patch3, 207KB, 05/14/2004, includes previous patches
      • drcl.comp.lib.bytestream.ByteStreamPeer: added sendWait(), recvWait(), sendNotify() and recvNotify() for subclassing for non-simulation thread
      • revised code for running real application in simulation threads, this involved with many classes in different runtime packages:
        • drcl.inet.socket.Launcher:
          • added static Thread newThread(Runnable)
          • added MyRunnable and started application in MyRunnable in simulation thread
        • drcl.inet.socket.JSimSocketImpl: added MyByteStreamPeer to handle non-simulation thread
        • drcl.comp.Task: added a new field "threadGroup"
        • drcl.comp.TaskSpecial: added a constructor to accept ThreadGroup as argument
        • drcl.comp.TaskNotify: added a static MARK and assign this to every instance's threadGroup; this way simulation thread's code of telling special tasks becomes simple: just test if Task's threadGroup != null
        • drcl.comp.ACARuntime: added a new addRunnableAt() to accept ThreadGroup as argument
        • drcl.comp.ARuntime:
          • newThread() added ThreadGroup as argument
          • added grabOne(ThreadGroup) and immediatelyStart(Task)
        • drcl.comp.AWorkerThread: clean up run() and added code to handle task whose threadGroup is not thread's
        • drcl.sim.event.SESimulator:
          • newThread() added ThreadGroup as argument
          • added grabOne(ThreadGroup) and immediatelyStart(Task)
        • drcl.sim.event.SEThread: clean up run() and added code to handle task whose threadGroup is not thread's
        • script/drcl/inet/socket/HelloServer.java: use drcl.inet.socket.Launcher.newThread() instead of java.lang.Thread
      • drcl.inet.contract.DatagramContract:
        • add code to implement drcl.net.PacketWrapper and drcl.data.Countable
        • updated script/drcl/inet/dvmrp/test_igmp.trace and script/drcl/inet/queue/*.trace
      • drcl.inet.mac:
        • NodePositionTracker, MobilityModel: added info()
        • WirelessPhy: added setBandwidth() and more debug info to the case of negative gap time; added getEnergyModel()
        • NodeChannelContract, MacPhyContract: made Message implement drcl.data.Countable so that raw bit rate can be collected by TrafficMonitor
      • drcl.inet.protocol.dv.DV:
        • _updateNeighbors(): relax the condition on checking route entry to be distributed by DV
        • _routingUpdateHandler(): make it more strict the condition on checking route entry to be handled by DV (only those created by DV can be handled by DV later)
      • fix a bug in drcl.inet.transport.TCPSink.recv(): may receive a packet whose seq_ is smaller than rcv_nxt but it contains new bytes due to retransmission of several small messages in one segment and some of the messages have been received before
      • fix a bug in drcl.comp.lib.bytestream.ByteStreamPeer.handle(): pendingReceive.buffer may be null if caller specifies a null byte array to receive
      • Classes are revised to be compatible with J2SDK1.5:
        • drcl.comp: ARuntime, ForkManagerLocal
        • drcl.comp.tool: ComponentTester, HistogramPlotter, Plotter

      • drcl.ruv.Dterm: added minimize() and restore()
      • drcl.comp.tool.Plotter: added hide()/hideAll()
      • drcl.net.traffic:
        • TrafficSourceComponent.info(): add birthTime printout
        • tsPacketTrain.info(String): add prefix_ in printout
      • drcl.net.traffic.ts*: all TrafficSourceComponent's added reschedule() to allow the parameters of a traffic source to be changed online and the next packet (pakcet that has been scheduled) to be rescheduled accordingly
      • drcl.data: added XYDataInterface; made XYData implement it
      • drcl.comp.tool: made Plotter and PlotPlan deal with XYDataInterface
      • drcl.inet.socket.TCP_socket: add code to do exponential backoff for SYN retransmissions

      • drcl.inet.NodeBuilder.loadmap(): add back code to deal with the option of using default "up" port by specifying "-" as port ID in the node map
      • drcl.comp.lib.bytestream:
      • ByteStreamContract: added "STOP" command; also in ByteStreamConstants
      • ByteStreamPeer: interrupt sending when STOP command is received; added DONT_THROW_EXCEPTION; enclose IO exception thrown in another IO exception as cause to better locate where these exceptions occur.
      • drcl.inet.transport.TCP: move state check from snd_packet() to timeout(); according to RFC2988, rtxcur_init: changed from 6.0 to 3.0, smallest rto (in rxt_timer()): changed from 2*t_grain to 1.0 second; added set/getMaxRetransmissionsAllowed(): when max is reached, TCP sends a STOP command 0 or negative for unlimited retrans.
      • drcl.ruv: Term: added set/getMaxNumberOfLines() for max # of lines that can be buffered in the terminal; default is 500 lines; Dterm: made conform to the maxNumberOfLines property

      • drcl.inet.Node.traceRoute(): revised accordingly
      • drcl.inet.core.PktDispatcher: add incomingIf to TraceRTPkt; for TraceRTPkt, use the destination field as the source when sending back response instead of the default node address
