RE: Sharing of OPNET model source in RPRSG
Good point, we are not promoting modeling tools here, but the models
themselves.
Releasing the source code for RPRSG MAC models can help us all in the
following areas:
1. Time saving in implementing various MAC proposals.
2. Avoid coding errors/subtle differences in
implementations/ambiguity of the specs.
3. Provide a common ground for comparison study
4. Provide a more precise reference on the definition of the
protocols in addition to the specs.
If possible, we should consider releasing models for various modeling
platforms depending on code availability.

All,
I'd like to draw your attention to the fact we're running our simulations
using Workbench and not Opnet. I just want to make sure that there is no
implicit assumption that we all HAVE to use Opnet. Nothing against it,
but we happen not to be using it. I guess we need to establish the
performance parameters, scenarios to run, but not the modeling tool.

Subject: Sharing of OPNET model source in RPRSG
Hi all,
I believe many of us are evaluating various proposals put forward to the
RPRSG (perhaps using OPNET modeler platform). May I suggest that we share
the model source code on a common website? I remember Taylor Salman of Opnet
Technology (tsalman@xxxxxxxx) once suggested the idea. The releasing the
model source doe will enable us to understand the dynamic behavior of each
protocol more thoroughly (in different application scenarios). Moving
forward, this should help us to make knowledgeable decisions in the RPR
study/work group.
Cheers,
