INET Framework - INET-3.3.0 Stable Release Available

INET-3.3.0 Stable Release Available

June 3, 2016

This release requires either OMNeT++ 4.6 or 5.0. (Earlier test versions of OMNeT++ will not work.)

This release requires OMNeT++ 4.6 or 5.0.

Build:

Removed unnecessary -pINET from the makemake options. This caused linking issues on Windows when ‘clang’ was used as a compiler. (the INET_API macros are needed only for Visual C++)
In makefrag, use inet_featuretool instead of scanning the compiler options to detect the enablement of the VoIPStream and NSC features
Fix: TCP_lwip did not compile when using the command-line make.
Examples: ‘run’ script can now take parameters containing spaces (as long as they are quoted properly)

SCTP:

Physical layer:

Added IdealObstacleLoss. This obstacle loss model determines power loss by checking if there is any obstructing physical object along the straight propagation path. The result is either total power loss if there was such an object or no loss at all if there wasn’t.

MANET:

The “MANET Routing” feature (a collection of routing protocols ported into INET from other projects) was removed from the source tree. The removed MANET routing algorithms are still available in the INETMANET fork of INET (https://github.com/aarizaq/inetmanet-2.0). INET now contains the following natively implemented MANET routing protocols: AODV, DYMO, GPSR.

Fixes:

IPv4: bug fix in IPv4 packet deserialization
Ieee802.11: bug fix in 802.11 management code (set TID only for QoS data frames)
TelnetApp: bug fix (cancel pending timers correctly)
IPv4NetworkConfigurator: bug fix: links were not properly detected by the configurator when nodes connected to a switch were defined after the switch in the NED file
IPv6: double delete fixed
IPv4RoutingTable: fix: only interfaces with the BROADCAST flag set have local broadcast addresses
AODV: fix: AODV stopped with an error if an ICMP error packet was received (ICMP packets are now accepted and silently dropped)
examples: removed obsolete fingerprints.ini files

Ethernet:

Added a separate EtherPhyFrame class. Motivation: there was no obvious way looking at an EtherFrame to tell whether it already contains preamble+SFD or not.
Change: When modeling the decapsulation from PHY header (subtracting preamble and SFD lengths), padding to minimum frame size was also undone. This is no longer done.
EtherIFG renamed to EtherFilledIFG
Catch duplex-halfduplex misconfiguration and throw error
Fix incorrect byte counting during burst
Serializer: adapted to the introduction of EtherPhyFrame
Serializer: fix: CRC was in wrong byte order
Serializer: fix: length field contained incorrect value (size of frame instead of size of payload)
