As the research in quantum key distribution (QKD) technology grows larger and becomes more complex, the need for highly accurate and scalable simulation technologies becomes important to assess the practical feasibility and foresee difficulties in the practical implementation of theoretical achievements. Due to the specificity of the QKD link which requires optical and Internet connection […]

For experimentation, it’s very convenient to be able to drop the disk cache. For this, we can use the special file /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. By writing 3 to it, we can clear most of the disk cache: $ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1504 1471 33 0 36 801 -/+ buffers/cache: 633 871 […]
One of the changes between ns-3 ver 3.25 and ver 3.26 is that now it is possible to set TOS value to the address. Yes, you read it right, TOS value to the address. Official Doxygen states following: https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.26/models/html/sockets-api.html The native sockets API for ns-3 provides two public methods (of the Socket base class): void […]
